I am a parent of a talented child - are there any special signup instructions or considerations for parents of child talent?
ANSWER:
New Faces takes safety and privacy issues of children members very
seriously. In addition to our Member Messages system which keeps all
your contact information private and secure, while still allowing you
to safely communicate with other members, we also have the following
instructions especially for parents of child talent.
To sign up your child for a talent portfolio at New Faces, just follow these simple instructions:
Step 1)
To
sign up your child, select either MODEL or ACTOR, do not sign up as an
agent on their behalf. Enter your child’s first name and last name NOT
yours. Note your child’s public portfolio will only display their first
name NOT their last name. If you have two talented children, then you
need to create an account for each of them.
As a
safety measure, we recommend that child members do NOT use their full
name as their member ID. The member ID does not need to contain the
member’s name, it can be any combination of letters and numbers, and
will be the direct webaddress of the member’s portfolio at New Faces.
Example: http://www.newfaces.com/memberID
Step 2)
Enter
personal details: Enter your child’s information (age, height, etc.)
Also under location, we suggest putting in the nearest large town or
city, instead of an identifying exact location.
Step 3)
Upload
a clear, professional looking photo. The photo file size should be
between 10k- 2000K. For more photo instructions, visit http://www.newfaces.com/photo-tips.php
Step 4)
When
creating your account you’ll be given the option of Basic (free) or a
premium account: Silver, Platinum or Elite. The better your account is,
the more photos and details you’ll be able to post, which increases the
chances that a casting agent will want to contact you. It also allows
you access to the special members-only casting areas of the forums.
Click on the SELECT button near the bottom of the page for the type of
account you want.
