We have been coaching children and young people in acting skills for over 30 years! Only trained, experienced and professional actors/directors are employed as leaders and our focus is 100% on acting.
We are based in Cambridge UK and have branches in Birmingham, Colchester, Norwich and Peterborough. There are currently over 500 Young Actors on our books.
It is a strict condition of our company that all members must audition.
What will you do every Saturday?
Strangely, it’s what we don’t do that’s relevant to this question!
We don’t do singing, dancing, assessments, exams, uniforms of any description, have big class numbers, and (because we strictly audition) no wide mixed ability classes – oh and our leaders are certainly not called “sir” or “miss”!What we do is work with talented and dedicated young actors (the audition system helps ensure this very healthy combination) in a safe and friendly environment. We focus only on acting skills and encourage our students to take dramatic risks, be prepared to make mistakes and be receptive to options and ideas.
What is the Film/TV Casting Agency all about?
Our mission statement is to offer all our young actors as broad a range of dramatic experiences as possible, so that if, as and when they consider Drama School – they are in a much better position to make the decision that’s right for them.
Film and Television work is part of this experience, but it is just that – part of the acting experience. We are not a “standalone” Agency and our main focus is on the acting skills workshops that take place every week.
That said, Young Actors have been seen on Cinema and TV screens in big numbers and recent productions include:-
EastEnders, Spooks, The Hustle, Silent Witness, Waking the Dead, Casualty, Dead Ringers and Holby City.
Himesh Patel (Tamwar in EastEnders) is a member of The Young Actors Company.

The Young Actors Company only works with auditioned children and young people. The audition runs for two hours and is designed to make you feel safe, at ease and confident. There will be some games/warm-up exercises, some improvisation and some very simple text work (all in groups). We are aware that some talented children have difficulty reading from the page and any text can be easily improvised if necessary.
Most children we see have never auditioned before, so if all this is new to you – you will be amongst friends! There is really is nothing to worry about, just come armed with lots of energy and no inhibitions!!
Just complete the application form and send to our Head Office as soon as you can. We will then write back to confirm your place and tell you a little more about the auditions. You can obtain a printable form from our website, or you can email/phone/fax our office.
