Yes, but please send me a personal message. I'd rather not discuss too much in this forum. I will say that we/the children have been with Campbell for 8 years and we could not be happier; they've done quite well. I have heard EVERYTHING!!!

I think I'm pretty level headed when it comes to this business and I promise to be honest with you and not steer you in the wrong direction.

What could my 10 and 11 year olds expect at an interview with The Campbell Agency? I sent in photos a couple of weeks ago and they called today asking us to come in for an interview. Any information is appreciated. We are totally new to this and do not know much about the industry. Thanks!

Just wondering if and how many jobs your children had? I know this industry is tuff, and sometimes it takes forever to get calls or jobs.
My daughter showed interest in the talent part (acting, commercials) more then modeling but she is already 10. I just need a good manager for her but they are hard to find it seems. Some of them like AdKids wanted to represent her but with an upfront fee incl. photo shots. Even though they are listed at BBB I am very sceptical. I have done prints a few years ago myself in Austin, started with industrial shots to get my portfolio together but then I finished college and stopped. SO I know a little about the industry but not much in the Dallas area.

This article in The Dallas Morning News is a good read for this kind of stuff - What's the secret to Dallas kids' success with Disney? | Dallas-Fort Worth Music News and Reviews | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News

Excerpt:
"Dallas kids are popping up with increasing frequency in the Disney empire: Disney Channel, Disney XD, Radio Disney and two Disney Music Group labels, Hollywood Records and Walt Disney Records.

Judy Taylor, senior vice president of casting and talent relations for the Disney Channel, laughs at the suggestion that there's a pipeline from Dallas to Disney. "But we do joke about it being something in the water," she says, noting that Dallas is a must-stop destination for her team every year when they are searching for talent.That "something" turns out to be acting coach Cathryn Sullivan, 54; agent Jennifer Patredis, 32, and voice coach Linda Septien, 53. Ten years ago, the trio teamed to put Dallas kids on the entertainment map...."

___________
Linda Septien is well known for what she does ...The Septien Entertainment Group and she offers classes.

Kim Dawson is best for RunWay and Photographic Modeling and competition just to be on the interview is intense. Campbell may be best for Actors/Actresses but if national casting director comes through town, they call all of the legit agencies. Local acting classes with legitimate teachers may provide experience. The market is driven by what "type" of child the business is looking for. I.E. Disney was looking for an hispanic when Selena Gomez was chosen....so it is all a matter of luck and being in the right place at the right time.

Mom of a former Child Actor and Yes it is a very demanding business !!!
