We’re looking for cool, charismatic, cheeky kids with real energy. They need
to be able to perform for the camera with a genuine, wide eyed enthusiasm.
They won’t be your usual commercial child, but will have more of an
editorial vibe. We’re not looking for ‘perfect’, in fact things like
freckles, braces, dimples and missing baby teeth would be great. We’re
looking for kids that are undeniably beautiful in their own way.
It is also important that they are characters and performers. Kids that can
run around all day. Kids that can take direction well; must have previous
experience please. It would be useful (but not mandatory) if the kids had
some roller skating/skateboard skills – but we’re open to seeing all sorts
of other talents/skills that the kids may have, such as gymnastics; dancing;
ear-wiggling, etc (please list on their submissions). We’d love to display a
real diversity of children, so please suggest children from a wide range of
ethnicities and cultures.
The final group need to have a chemistry, to come across as friends, not
just actors meeting for the first time on set – so would be great to cast
real mates or family members.
NO KIDS WITH PREVIOUS FEATURED SUPERMARKET ADS PLEASE!! MUST BE ABLE TO BE
LICENCED WITHIN 10 WORKING DAYS, AS APPLICATIONS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO
COUNCILS BY 22ND JANUARY.
