All agents like to keep their eyes open for talent. Periodically, we open our books to potential new clients, and ask them to audition for us. We consider clients of all ages (over 16), and consider people unrepresented, or looking to change agents.

Actors. If you are an Actor or Actress, we are looking for special qualities that will make you marketable in this competitive Industry. Almost always we prefer clients to have attended one of the main drama schools and we very rarely take on anyone straight out of training, unless we have seen them perform through their school.

Our ideal new client has professional credits, for a variety of companies, and comes from an established career, or has made a good start early on in their career. We expect our Acting clients to be registered with Spotlight. (www.spotlightcd.com).

If you are between the ages of 16 and 21, with professional credits, and do not have educational or other commitments that would clash with potential Acting jobs, please feel free to apply to us, even though you may not have been to drama school.

Models. You will have seen that we have a small portfolio of Models. Some of the Models are also Actors and some are not. Models can often get work in adverts, photo shoots and corporate events, as well as sometimes walk-on work in TV and film. If you have not trained as an Actor, but would like to apply to our Models list, then please send in your details, as long as you meet the following criteria;- Age 16 - 50, fit and slim, striking appearance, good skin and teeth. We will need to see professional photographs with your application.

HOW TO APPLY

Please email us at broodapplication@aol.com. We much prefer emailed submissions as it is more environmentally friendly and costs nothing.

Attach to your email, your CV, some headshots if you are an Actor, and a series of professional face and body shots if you are a Model. Please ensure that your attachments are not huge, as we will delete them if they are.

All emails we receive (and can open), are replied to.

If we are interested in you, we may wish to come and see you in a show, or we may call you in for a meeting. All Actors will be asked to audition, all Models will need a portfolio.

WHAT WILL WE BE LOOKING FOR, IF WE MEET YOU?

There are more important factors to success than talent, unfair though that may seem. As an Agency who specialises in close relationships with our clients, we will want you to have a positive and open personality, a willingness to listen, and a genuine manner. If we work with you we have to like you!

Appearance is crucial in our business. That does not mean you have to be beautiful, (although if you are, it won't harm you), but an interesting and striking look is always more marketable than someone who looks like everyone.

Commitment is often talked about, but sometimes an artiste has no idea what it means. In our Industry work must almost always come first. This is sometimes to the detriment of holidays, relationships and family events. If you are supported by loved ones in your choice of career, it helps enormously.

Talent is important and skills have to be polished. We are always interested in artistes who take the time to enhance their skills by attending classes and workshops.

Audition pieces. All serious actors have audition pieces upon which they can call. When we meet you we will ask you to perform pieces from your repertoire which accurately show off your playing type.

SHALL I APPLY?

Having read and understood all of the above, if you believe that you are suitable for us to consider as a client, please send us your CV and pictures. We look forward to receiving them.
