Everything you need to Know!

DescripKids & Teens Pro is a personalized guidance program designed to help parents navigate the entertainment industry and prepare their child for professional representation. We help families understand what agents and managers are looking for, position their child professionally, and connect qualified young actors with industry professionals.
-
Yes. Kids & Teens Pro is designed for young performers at different stages of their journey—from children who are just getting started to young actors who already have experience and are ready to pursue professional representation.
-
Not necessarily. Every child is different. We evaluate where your child currently is and help determine what steps make sense based on their experience, training, materials, and goals.
-
Our goal is to help qualified young actors become professionally prepared and connect with appropriate talent agents and managers. However, representation is never guaranteed. Agents and managers make their own decisions about which actors they choose to represent.
-
That's one of the things we help you determine. During the complimentary consultation, we can look at your child's experience, training, materials, age, goals, and current level of readiness and help identify the next appropriate step.

Ages 7-17

No. Talent Consult LA is a consulting and career guidance company—not a talent agency. We help families understand the industry, prepare professionally, and pursue representation. Talent agents and managers independently decide whether to represent an actor.

Parents often don't know how the entertainment industry works or what agents are actually looking for. We help families avoid common mistakes such as approaching the wrong representatives, submitting incomplete materials, spending money unnecessarily, or presenting their child without a clear professional strategy.
-
Talent Consult LA has been family-owned since 2018 and focuses on personalized, one-on-one guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our consultants bring experience in the entertainment industry and help families understand the process from preparation through pursuing representation.
-
