MOMINBIZ, you are great! My 14 month old son has just started in the business. He did a very successful photo shoot a couple of months ago and then a disastrous cover shoot recently. We've also done 3 auditions which have come to nothing. Your wise words are encouraging. Please keep up the good work!

Hi there & thanks for the GREAT amount of info and the time you took to write it! We had to move to Vegas from Orlando for my husband's job, and Joshua was just starting to get to auditions, etc., so it's so hard to know who to trust. He is with True Talent here, and just wanted to know if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you!

Hello, Annie and welcome!

I glad you found the thread halepful. It scares me that this one might be lost as several of my others have been lost with the site crashes. At least now I know to back them up. lol

All the best to you in LV. I hear that the industry is picking up out there, slowly, but surely. I do hear of actors making the LA drive from time to time for more work. Don't worry, though. Your little guy has years ahead of him.

Thank you, Fizzi and welcome!
Congratulations to your son and don't fret about disasters. Each experience, no matter what it is, is another step forward. Auditioning is the job. Booking something is the icing on the cake.

Enjoy the ride!

Hi Mygirl - I'm glad to see you created a separate thread with your questions for others to see. (It will get lost on this thread!) You should get some good answers from your own threads.

There is also good information on the PARF board which is listed at the beginning of this thread.

Good luck and welcome!

*Halloween BUMP*

Bump for RedHotLava

I fixed the links! Woo hoo!

3 cheers for the EDIT button!

I have a question I hope you can help me with. My 11 month old daughter was just asked to sign with Wilamena Agency. They want to be her agent as well as her manager. Is that standard? Could I stand in as her manager? What does a manager do that an agent doesn't.

I responded to this in the DO's and DON'Ts thread.

Happy New Year!

Mominbiz-

Thank you so much for your insights and ideas! This is really, really helpful!
