Hi Hollywood Mom Blog,
My daughter Andi, is really looking forward to becoming an actress. We have set up an account with 24/7cast, here locally in Orlando, Florida area, but that’s really all I know about the business, we do not even have an agent yet. Could you please share information on reputable kids talent agents and managers in Florida?
Hope to hear from you,
Laura
Today’s HMB Contributor, Karen Frase (A HMB reader & momager in South Florida):
This is a small contact list I received from my daughter Taylor’s acting teacher about 2 years ago. While I am not sure if it is completely up to date, it’s a good starting point. It has some of the legitimate agencies in the Miami and South Florida area. There are many more that are not included on this list. I did not have the exact address and phone numbers so I did not include them in the list below.
However most of them have websites and can be researched on Google.
The Agency names include:
- World of Kids Agency
- Karen Greer Models (previously Ford Models Miami -children’s division)
- Posche Models
- Mary’s Special People (Talent Manager)
- Kids n Company (Talent Manager)
- The Green Agency 2700 N. Miami Ave. #301, Miami , FL 33127(305) 532-9225
- Latin Model Miami
I hope this list is helpful to everyone interested in the South Florida market!
Best,
Karen Frase

GREAT topic…a couple of notes:
Orlando is central Florida. The agencies in Miami would be about 4 hours away from Laura.
South Florida and central Florida are very different markets. They boutique agencies may have completely different focuses. It would be worth inquiring with the agency via phone before submitting materials.
Good luck Laura!
Great post but make sure one thing. More about the Market.
To sign with any Miami agency you must be with in 2 hours of it in either direction. No exceptions. They do alot of day notice work there and they don’t want to fool with people that are not close enough. Call and check contacts on Second list of Aftra agencies. I know several are no longer in business or do not really have a childs division.
Orlando is not a huge hub for work for children as far as actually an agency. You actually get more work from Miami and sent to Orlando than to book out of Orlando directly.
One exception is Premier Models New Symrna Beach.
137 Canal Street
New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168-7067
(386) 427-8829
They were my childs first agency. Chris used to do alot of work with South Beach.
Great comments. Editors notes on Aftra agencies only listed agencies which AFTRA reports as representing children. As always calling ahead and doing leg work is essential. If anyone working in either the Miami or Orlando markets has information on quality agencies, please submit to HMB using contact form.
Can you suggest top agents in Atlanta? My son is 12 years old and has been taking classes in our area. He too would like to get in the buisness. We visited Hollywood in Jan before finding this site. Now we have to come back because he is hooked. I have submitted his resume and photos on Casting Now and IMDb. Any suggestions you can offer would be much appreciated.

[…] What it means is that you should aim to make your casting call for acting something indelible. Casting for actors can be known with the help of the industry's trade papers or through various age… and managers. Usually, if you audition for a role, you should know what it is that you're going […]
Worldstars Trials is holding auditions TOMORROW 2/22 in Orlando! We are looking for talented actors, singers, dancers, instrumentalists, variety artists and models! Contact Gwen Wilson at gwilson@worldstars.tv or at 434-665-4199 for an audition appointment!
Hello! My daughter recently signed with two agencies here in Florida, Benz and Azuree. She doesn’t have any professional experiencs, only drama lessons and school productions. She’s very good and we were very excited that she was accepted at the agencies.
My question is, how does she get into the big leagues? Both agencies have said she has the “look” and the talent, but how does she land the bigger productions, such as in NY or LA?
Thanks for your time,
Kim
I was wondering if you can give me a list of professional headshot photography in south florida
My child, who is 11, sent pictures to karen greer, and got a call back in the next hour. Make sure to check if the agentcy isn’t a scam, but karen greer is very good, but your child must be tall, or they will nevr call you back. At 11, my daugter is 5 foot 5 inches.
How has your experience with Karen Greer been? We have an appointment to meet with her next week.
Hi,
I wanted to know if any one heard anything or know of someone that is with Hollywood Launch? Any opinion on them or if they are a scam? They are having audition this weekend but I do not know very much about them? Can anyone help me thank you!

Has anyone been called for a meet and great with World of Kids Miami? My daughter went today but they did not say anything to us when we were leaving. Is that normal?
Does anyone have any experience with World of Kids Modeling Agency, Miami? My daughter went to a meet and greet yesterday. Has anyone gone to meet and greet and not been called back? Just not sure what to expect. Thanks for any information you can give 🙂
I took my two kids to World of Kids meet and greet a few months ago. They told us if they were interested in them, they would call. They said to give them like two weeks. We never got a call back. We signed with Karen Greer and just did their photoshoot this past weekend. The photos are amazing. I have heard good things about Karen Greer, we will see!
can you attend a casting call without an agent?
what happens if you booked the job,will they set you up with an agent?
Heidi- (or anyone) – did world of kids ever call you back? Or if world of kids did call anyone back, what’s the usual timeframe? Thinking about signing with a different agency but wondering if I should wait to hear back from them (we just went to meet and greet on Thursday) thanks!
My son is 13 and is very musically talented. He is self taught singer, acoustic guitar player, and ukulele player. He has an amazing memory and knows over 70 songs by heart on guitar and the lyrics. He is interested in being a musician and actor. My question is are any of these agencies above represent music talent and acting? I just started doing research today so trying to find a good company to represent Barrett.
