Joining the Agency

For extras or featured extras work we now interview over the phone, with pics sent via email rather than you having to come to our office for an interview. You will only need to attend our studio for registration and casting photos. Please only come to our office if you have an appointment.
Registering for Extras and Featured Extras Work
We are currently looking for people of various looks and ages for extras and featured extras work. You don't need experience or training to be put forward for extras roles as it's usually based on how you look, or real life skill that a production may be looking to cast, such as a chef or nurse or the like, as productions often prefer someone with the experience for such roles.
Payment
Payment for extras roles vary depending on factors such as how featured you are, type of usage, and the number of territories the production is airing in. Rates can vary from an hourly rate to several thousands of dollars per day depending on the role.
Minor Acting Roles / Featured Work
A good deal of featured television commercial work requires some basic acting training or experience, as it involves doing something in addition to just looking the part . These roles usually only last for a few seconds on screen but casting directors expect previous training or experience for us to put you forward for them. This is also the case for minor roles in films or television productions. We have acting workshops that will give you basic acting skills to enable you to be put forward for minor acting roles
Featured Speaking Roles
Acting training and/or experience is required for us to put you forward for such work.
Acting Workshops
If you don't have professional acting training or experience we can direct you to casting/acting workshops taught by professional casting directors and acting coaches. These are an excellent opportunity to learn from the most experienced coaches in the business. The workshops include acting techniques and casting techniques to help you land a role when attending a casting. These workshops gives you the basic skills required for us to submit you for minor acting roles for TVCs and minor parts in film and television production.
