The TV casting process forms an important part of any successful kids casting agency such as Kids On Camera. As a performer, your child is never hired directly by a production company. Instead, the TV casting process starts by enrolling your child at a kids casting agency like Kids On Camera. We can thus therefore be described as the middleman during the TV casting process. Our clients thus include various production companies which seek children to play specific roles. However, in order for your child to be picked for a role, she/he needs to fulfill all necessary requirements that the directors are looking for. The TV casting process is thus taken a step further by production companies by means of selecting the cast from the talent pool kids casting agencies offer.
Two types of casting on every TV Casting Process
It is typical of the TV casting process to have two types of casting on each project, namely the principal casting director and a background casting director. While the principal casting director is responsible for selecting the various speaking roles during the TV casting process, the background casting director has the responsibility of selecting all the extras that have a none-speaking role. The TV casting process is quite standard across all genres, be it TV, film, or commercial productions. When the actors are to be selected, the producer and principal casting director usually have a meeting where the breakdown of the characters is discussed. After the breakdown is done, a list is compiled and sent through to the kids casting agencies (Kids On Camera) which the production company makes use of.
If your child happens to fit the description of one of the characters to be played, she/he will go for a casting and might thus be selected for the role. However, your child must understand that a TV casting process is very complex, and s/he competes with thousands of other children. Disappointment, therefore, is unfortunately a great part of the TV casting process.
