The amount of work that a client gets is reliant on many different things. It is important that parents understand that some clients work on a regular basis, some work occasionally and others may not work at all. We would never accept clients onto our books if we were not confident in putting them forward for suitable jobs/briefs. We would like you to be assured of our commitment to working hard in acquiring agency work for our clients.
Every job is different. As your agent, D&B Management negotiates rates and contracts on behalf of the client.
D&B Management is regularly approached by leading casting directors – both directly and privately – for huge feature films, and nationally acclaimed TV dramas to ask about our talent. Like other acting agencies, D&B Management also receives briefs on a daily basis and suggests clients that are suitable via The Spotlight Link. Casting directors then select the clients that they want to see for an audition to ensure they are perfectly suited to the brief.

Most of the time castings take place after school hours or at the weekends. Locations for auditions are always different but usually take place in central London. We are frequently contacted by casting directors who are looking for actors that choose to hold a casting session with our clients at our premises before the brief is made public.
