Through Spotlight, a young performer can be found for castings in two ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Their agent can put them forward for suitable roles when they receive casting breakdowns (the industry term for a project and role summary).<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Their profile will come up when casting professionals search the Spotlight database for performers with certain details listed on their profiles. For example, within a certain playing age range or who have a particular skill listed that they\u2019re looking for.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s therefore important that your child\u2019s profile is kept up to date and contains the correct information. Often, the agent will take care of this, but some agents might be happy for you to work on the profile as well, or even expect you to, so it\u2019s best to discuss this with the agent before you make any changes to your child\u2019s Spotlight page. Agents have vast experience in knowing what casting professionals are interested in seeing, so it\u2019s always good to seek their advice.<\/p>\n<p>If the agent is happy for you to edit your child\u2019s Spotlight profile, here are a few useful tips for which areas you should concentrate on:<\/p>\n<h3>What information do I need to keep up to date on my child\u2019s profile?<\/h3>\n<p>The simple answer is everything. All the details that are listed on a Spotlight profile are searchable to casting professionals. As children are constantly changing, it&#8217;s vital to make sure details like their height, hair length\/colour and playing age range are kept up to date.<\/p>\n<p>To edit your child\u2019s Spotlight profile, simply:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/portal.spotlight.com\/portal\/signin?ReturnUrl=https%3a%2f%2fportal.spotlight.com%2fportal%2foauth2%2fauthorize%3fclient_id%3dportal-website%26scope%3duser%26response_type%3dcode%26redirect_uri%3dhttps%3a%2f%2fid.spotlight.com%2fCallback%26state%3dCfDJ8KSW6cRu4gxDi2_JP50hA9wDbxT9601eXF6c9IwpIX50IX41GkksYDXt8LVIF5khr_PJgtAxcdYG0MdEK0pGfOcYGbVQJu8VYiiUVm3AI-UGTFZj03g-DHisTyC0cFM_y0danIBi8ERTl_llZV6Mykwt6Iyx4MSXmH8Jg91EQoHezNSliIWyjCBnvof6NoXgS6DQUESZttp7LKl_w4QOW3gdgmUEvRadeSCuNS94PIGL2wwsOyaNWA2eG2WOcA9YWrnEz0TIF9Bt1pPp8guMwOFPeRXwMkkUC5IN06kJszL2n-29HZXllT1wjMv4iJJlEwS8KNpqxzdJ3M9wp8QQ5GHWSl5Qg_VZnx6cUjXBj67LEGZIGa5o_iiKsoWFrwLtma--FgjSiVDUZpIafXAJSNMqw-6DlCk9eG0Hng7CHNjc4u9p1f-l7Bb4rJeCzlfKiolNS8iAZpusqKVGsk2_YgeqHvrQTd2JsvBpxTHeOly25zEooV5T0KqR0xJpvC7Xu-I5NMyIygkuxel8yrF-PbW-E9yu7uw9fbJRYsOuSmmeqPBsohiMe9oD9vkYYdC-d3nAlXYNLeFTOvK3oYzdzMt7f7FB2sHqm675CMzQQdSInNl6mpooRoH0ftyjIPSVipEs3GLjZv-CjvkoxX4Q94zftizR0IUgIuPwAMu9_barlNG4Yir-U72_7e0IrFieyJ0XLH2gvdVUCMg3MG4eTLEwrrHq_5uM7sFaMy9MUC77JN5fujbmfBq9veXLTLe0uw\">Sign in<\/a>\u00a0using the registered email address and password.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click \u2018View\/edit my profile\u2019. You\u2019ll be taken to a version of their profile with edit icons by the various sections.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">To edit a certain section, click the edit icon (it looks like a pencil).<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Most of the information about the young performer\u2019s appearance and playing age will be found in the \u2018Details\u2019 section (at the top of the page, to the right of their main photo).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How confident does my child need to be in a skill to list it on their profile?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to an audition, your child needs to be able to confidently and competently produce the skills listed on their Spotlight profile, as they may be asked to perform them. For example, if you list that they can play the piano, they need to be at a level where they can confidently play when asked. If they have only taken one or two lessons, we would not advise listing this as a skill.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I know what photo to upload to my child\u2019s profile?<\/h3>\n<p>Photos should be checked by your child\u2019s agent first before uploading to Spotlight. The most important thing about your child\u2019s headshots and gallery photos is that they look exactly like them. It&#8217;s crucial that they have a photo on their Spotlight profile that looks the way they currently do, so the casting professional immediately recognises them when they attend a casting or submit a self-tape.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/young-performers\/young-performer-headshot-tips\/\">headshot tips for young performers<\/a>\u00a0to get the most out of a professional session you\u2019re attending, or our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/a-parents-guide-to-photographing-your-child\/\">parent\u2019s guide to photographing your child<\/a>\u00a0if you\u2019re planning to take photos of your child yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>How many photos can I upload to Spotlight?<\/h3>\n<p>Our advice is to upload no more than 4 or 5 well-chosen photos which show a range of looks. They should be professional, natural and in colour. If your child wears glasses, then you should definitely have a photo of them wearing glasses on their profile. If your child has long hair, a photo with it tied back is also a good idea.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I put in the \u2018About Me\u2019 section?<\/h3>\n<p>The \u2018About Me\u2019 section is a free text area that can be searched by casting professionals. It\u2019s a chance for you to let them know a bit more about your child, but be sure to keep it concise and to only to include relevant information.<\/p>\n<p>This can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Names of productions your child is currently working on or appearing in.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Reviews they\u2019ve had for their work.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Particular skills you want to highlight.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Any other performance-related information you\u2019re looking to list that doesn\u2019t have its own area on the profile.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Any website addresses you put in the \u2018About Me\u2019 section will be hyperlinked, so it can be useful to include links to Spotlight profiles belonging to any siblings or performer parents. Your agent can advise you on this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What are credits and what information should I provide?<\/h3>\n<p>Credits are the professional jobs that your child has completed. Every bit of information you list in the \u2018Credits\u2019 section on your profile is searchable to casting professionals, so it\u2019s important to include as much detail as you can. In particular, the year and the director\u2019s name are useful for casting professionals\u2019 searches.<\/p>\n<p>If a project is currently being filmed or is in post-production, do not list this in the \u2018Credits\u2019 section. Instead, put it in their \u2018About Me\u2019 section, and then move it to the \u2018Credits\u2019 section once it\u2019s released.<\/p>\n<p>As young performers don\u2019t always have professional credits to list when they\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/young-performers\/19-tips-for-parents-of-young-performers-starting-in-acting\/\">first start out in the industry<\/a>, it may be best to leave this section blank. Speak to your agent and see if they would be happy with you listing non-professional work or stage school productions instead, although we find that, generally, this isn&#8217;t useful for casting professionals.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a showreel and should I upload one?<\/h3>\n<p>A showreel is an edited video that shows clips of any work your child has appeared in, either on TV or screen. There\u2019s space on a Spotlight profile to upload up to five minutes of video, however, two minutes is long enough for a showreel.<\/p>\n<p>Showreels have become very popular, allowing a casting professional to see what a child looks like on camera before they see them for an audition.<\/p>\n<p>Casting professionals can use showreels as a search criteria but they aren&#8217;t a necessity, so please don\u2019t spend hundreds of pounds on one. We would suggest editing together a showreel only if your child has done professional filmed work. Our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/the-essentials\/the-spotlight-guide-to-basic-video-editing\/\">guide to basic video editing<\/a>\u00a0can help you with this.<\/p>\n<p>Please do not upload any home video footage. A casting professional can always ask for a self-tape to be sent to them if they require a video. If you need some help with a self-tape, take a look at our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/the-industry\/self-taping-tips-for-young-performers\/\">self-taping tips for young performers<\/a>\u00a0and our guide for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/the-essentials\/setting-up-and-filming-young-performer-self-tapes\/\">setting up and filming young performer self-tapes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I use the \u2018Training\u2019 section at the bottom of the profile for?<\/h3>\n<p>Like the \u2018About Me\u2019 section, the \u2018Training\u2019 section is a searchable free-text area. It\u2019s the perfect place to add details of any performance-related training your child has, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">LAMDA grades<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The name of their stage school and the years attended<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Dance or gymnastics exams<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Anything else that gives the casting professionals more of an understanding of your child\u2019s experience as a performer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope this has been helpful, and you now have a better understanding of what to edit on your child\u2019s Spotlight profile. If in doubt, remember our golden rule: always check in with your child\u2019s agent first!<\/p>\n<p><em>Listen to our podcast episode about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/parents-and-agents-podcast\/\">how parents and agents work together<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you have any more questions, feel free to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/get-in-touch\">get in contact<\/a>, or take a look at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\">News &amp; Advice<\/a>\u00a0section for more helpful information for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/?tags=young%20performers\">young performers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotlight.com\/news-and-advice\/?tags=parents\">parents<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our top tips for getting the most out of your child\u2019s profile and improving their casting chances.
