Redroofs Agency exists to represent current pupils of our full-time Day School, our Colleges, our part-time classes, and our graduates, in film, television, theatre, commercials, recording and all media. As an older established agency our successes go back many many years. In the list below you will see examples of work from the past year.
“My daughter is excited about the NFTS project & looking forward to the wardrobe call for the BBC on Tuesday too (not thinking about the pencilled ad until it's confirmed!).
Thanks v much for setting all these up - just goes to show how precisely you match the kids to casting directors' requirements.”
A parent on hearing about three succesful auditions in the space of a week!
Who can join the Agency?
All Redroofs pupils may join the Agency.
The Spotlight is an independent internet linked casting service used by casting directors and producers both nationally and abroad. Without an entry in The Spotlight, we are not able to offer your child for professional engagements.
Photographs and cvs are updated annually and casting departments cross-reference our suggestions for parts before calling children to audition.
Going to auditions
The majority of auditions take place in London, at studios, or at our own school. Pupils are taken to auditions by parents or by our own licensed chaperones and the chaperones fee and expenses are divided between the children attending the audition. Parents are responsible for their own child's fares whether public transport, hired minibus, coach or chaperone's car is used. Chaperones are licensed by the Education Authority.
Engagements
It is sometimes possible for the parent to act as chaperone. Past experience has shown that children work better on set when accompanied by a chaperone rather than a parent and Chaperones are fully aware of laws pertaining to children in the industry. Chaperone fees on engagements are paid by the Studio or Management employing the child.
Fees
The school's commission is 15% of the gross rate. (The gross includes all spin off payments and residuals.) VAT is chargeable on commission.
Further information is given to new pupils in September and is always available for parents via our office.
