FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who are you?
Great Question!
We started in 2000, and over the past years have grown from strength to strength.
We have extensive experience and are recognised as one of the reputable leaders in the industry.
We are extremely proud of our successes with a large number of our models in local and international productions.
(Comment from the founder & owner) Having started with my own 2 children being actively involved in this industry and Kool Kids it has been an added benefit to keep in touch with both sides of the story.
I wonder if my child would be suitable?
Personality and character is even more important – not suited to very shy and quiet people.
Babies best suited are happy, easy going little people – Toddlers should be easy going with a bubbly personality and older children and adults should have confidence with an outgoing personality.
Is previous experience or training necessary?
We are finding that our talent who attend some acting and casting workshops it definitely increases chances of better success. (We let our talent know what is available during the year.)
However please remember that our rising stars need to start somewhere and fresh spontaneity is what attracts the client. Child Models should possess a passion for performing and enjoy entertaining others. Versatility and a wide range of related performance skills, such as dancing, rollerblading, cycling and horse-riding are especially useful.
Some people have said that castings are held at the last minute with no warning
But it can happen and it’s very important that you have flexibility with time, own transport, ability to find your way to new addresses and to be very punctual / on time.
Is there a guarantee that all models enrolled will definitely get work?
We can guarantee recommending you/your child for each and every brief where the description matches what they are looking for.
Why choose Kool Kids as apposed to another Agency?
Will it improve my chances by joining more than one agency?
It is a NAMA ruling (National association of Model Agencies) for children – can’t belong to more than one agency at a time.
How do I sign up?
We need the completed forms and copy of the Child’s Birth Certificate or Adult’s ID, together with proof of payment, an appointment will be confirmed with our photographer to have photos taken AND then we can start recommending you for some exciting shoots.
Does it matter if I am not a South African Citizen?
What commission does the Agency earn?
There is a booking fee that the Production Company pay the Agency, which is completely separate to the Model Fee and this doesn’t affect your fees at all.
What is this I hear about Tax Charged for Kids and can my child use a Parent's Bank Account?
Each artist will need to have their own personal Banking Account (linked to their own Income Tax Number) and SARS won’t accept Bank Account details of one of the parents.
