Frequently Asked Questions

Interstate auditions will be considered depending on location.

Auditions are at no cost and obligation free. The audition process allows us to assess the suitability of a performer for V Agency. If an offer of representation is made, it is then up to you if you wish to take up the offer or not.

No. Unfortunately we cannot accept everyone who applies for representation. We have to consider the talent we already represent and the current demands of the industry.

It is impossible for us to guarantee work. The client (advertising agency, production company, photographer etc.) makes the decision on who they would like to book for a shoot. Also please remember that often you need to fit particular requirements — i.e. hair colour, age group, clothing size, or possess a particular skill and so on.

Talent are represented for work in a wide area of the entertainment industry including, but not limited to: TV commercials, television series, mini-series, feature films, short films, corporate videos, music videos, musical theatre, live theatre, magazines, catalogues and general print advertising.

Yes we do charge industry standard commission on all work secured by the agency.

A casting is an "audition" — a potential client has viewed your agency headshot or online talent profile and has requested to see you for a particular role they are looking to "cast". You do not receive payment for attending a casting.

Most castings are now done online by request from the Casting Director. If you are selected for a casting, we will receive a casting invite which we will pass on to you. The invite will have the information required for you to film a self-test (video audition). Occasionally, we get requests for in-studio castings and some callbacks are in person.

Every job/booking is different. Most shoots are held in the Sydney area, either in studio or on location. If a shoot is to be held outside of Sydney you will be advised at the time of casting. Shoots are generally scheduled Monday – Friday with the occasional Saturday booking. Children under 17 years need to have a guardian present with them for the entirety of the shoot period.

Every job is different and the pay rate will differ depending on the type of shoot, how long you work, whether it is a speaking or featured role and so forth. It is our job to negotiate, where possible, for the best rate we can get. We will advise you of the performance rate at time of booking.
