Just five years ago breaking into this fascinating entertainment industry for our 8 year old daughter was a smooth sailing blast! Oh yes~those days when she was just too cute for words and solid, reputable agencies were calling left and right to represent her.  The auditions, the callbacks, watching the eyes of an 8 year old light the sky hearing those magical words “she got the part”…nothing like it in the world!  Well no sooner than we heard those words, a drastic family issue brought everything to a screeching halt and we had to cancel our agency contract.

Let’s fast forward to the present. That dainty, cute, non-stop performing 8 year old is now a 13 year old puberty-stricken, yet still performing, teenager facing quadruple the competition and an uphill battle finding reputable representation. That was, however, until needing a work permit blessed us with the meeting of Toni Casala and Children in Film. Toni is one of the most professional, positive and caring people I have ever met in this business. She has devoted numerous years to helping parents of child actors educate and inform ourselves to better protect our performing children. It was that same dedication and hard work which introduced us to Lynne Gray and RPM Talent Agency. 

Lynne is sharp, honest, open and to the point. All the vitals in an actor-agent-parent relationship. We have no idea what the future holds, but finding a hard working reputable agency is certainly a great start in the right direction. To all the wonderful parents out there working hard to help your young performer’s aspirations come true…start as young as possible (as soon as your little one tells you he/she wants to perform), stay the course and keep your commitment (we live in Nevada so commitment is paramount) and of course the most important~encourage and praise!

Many many thanks to Toni, Lynne and RPM Talent!  We can’t wait for what’s in store.

Blessings To All,

Tracy, Michael and Maranda
