Verify the production source
Look for the official production page, casting director profile, agency registration details, or a public announcement that matches the casting call. If the post is forwarded without a source, do not send a child's photos until you can trace the origin.
Keep a parent-controlled profile
Use a parent phone number and email for all communication. Include the child's age, location, languages, height, recent photos, and prior performance experience, but avoid sharing school details, home address, IDs, or private documents in the first message.
Check audition location and supervision
A parent or guardian should be present for auditions and shoots involving minors. Ask for the venue, reporting time, contact person, and expected duration. Avoid private or unclear meeting locations.
Know when to stop
Stop communication if anyone pressures the child, requests inappropriate images, asks for secrecy from parents, demands payment for a role, or refuses to share basic project details.
