Amy!

 

This is where you go to:

www.texasworkforce.org

 

on the front page lower left in the middle of the page is a search box- TYPE IN THERE: LLCL-73

This will be a print out form. You need to fill one out for each baby and also attach a small like 1 inch size ID picture of each baby with the app and send it to Austin- there should be a return address- Oh also send the birth certificates too. This should be free. I do have work permits for all my children and they are free in california.

 

Good luck and let me know what happens!

Hi Alexandra thanks for the help. How do I go about getting them work permits. Do I go through the TWC in Texas?

Hi Amy-

 

One thing with children, when I go to hire children, we do look for twins. The reason being is that there are child labor laws and they can only work for so many hours.

 

If you are serious about getting them in the biz- get them work permits and I can send you a list of SAG agents in the Dallas area.

Hi I'm a mom to 6 month old identical twin girls and am interested in getting them into entertainment. We were at an autograph signing of Debbie Ryan and her mom spoke to me and a few other moms about checking out the SAG site online. I looked over it but didn't see anything about babies in entertainment. I also seen something about they only accept children with some kind of experience. I'm so clueless about where to begin. I'm from Dallas, Tx area. Thanks Amy

Ashley and K,
Here are the SAG franchised agencies in Michigan. SAG regulates the agencies and they are not allowed to ask you for any money what-so-ever, the agents,if interested in you will have you go get headshot and will refer you to some photographers that they work with if you dont know any. They will only take 10% of your earnings from any acting or modeling jobs they book you on.
Good luck.
If you want to m keep you in my company file for consideration and maybe in as an extra or a 1-5line day player- I can call you in for an audition when I am in town.
You can email me at: alexandra@planetkratos.com
Good luck!!!

That helps a lot! And yes if you could refer me that would be great!
Comment by K. Catherine on March 24, 2011 at 1:56am
Alexandra, I am also in Michigan, and would love to work with you! Please keep us posted on your productions.
Comment by Alexandra on March 23, 2011 at 11:29pm

Yes a lot of films are shooting in Michigan because of the tax credits. I have 2 productions that will be shooting later this year in Michigan. If you want to get into acting and do films, I suggest you contact a local agency near you that is franchised by SAG(screen actors guild) and also regisiter with a couple extra's casting companies. I can ask around if anyone I know can refer me to someone for you.

 

Also conatct a couple of the local film production companies and ask them if they can keep a headshot of you in their files to be considered for any future auditions.

 

Hope this helped.
