Frequently Asked Question

How do I sign up my child to join Impact Models Studio?

To start, fill in the application form n our "Join" page and upload one or two images of your child. Once we receive the application, our team will contact you within 3 working days to provide more details.

For children aged 3.5 to 12 years old, we offer a 1-hour workshop at $55.00 nett to kickstart their journey. This workshop provides both you and your child with firsthand experience, helping you make a more informed decision about moving forward.

For babies and toddlers aged 4 months to 3 years old, we will arrange a no-obligation meet-up session to assess their suitability for modelling.

At what age can my child join modelling?
We represent children from 4 months to 12 years old.

Do you accept every child who attends the interview?

No, we do not accept every applicant. As a reputable agency, we carefully select children who show the potential to excel in modelling. The children will need to have the potential to advance, as well as the passion and temperament to sustain in the industry.
The parent’s attitude and ability to commit will also be taken into consideration.

That said, some parents enroll their children in our modelling courses to build confidence, stage presence, and social skills. These programs focus on personal development, and children do not need to pursue modelling to benefit from them.

How do you assess my baby or toddler to see if he/she is suitable for modelling?
An initial meet up will help us to assess your child, and see if he/she is comfortable with people, does not have social anxiety, and generally gauges their level of social interaction. A parent’s assessment will be held as well.

Do I have to pay any upfront fees?
Yes, fees for the modelling course or the portfolio session will be part of the process for child modelling at Impact Models Studio.

Do I have to sign my child up for the modelling course or portfolio session?
Yes, the course or the portfolio sessions will help the agency and the staff to fully assess the child’s capabilities, strengths, attitude, as well as their development. This process will aid us in providing clients with relevant information regarding the child model before sending them for assignments.

Can my child be represented by more than one agency, or freelance?
No, freelancing and joining of other agencies will not be allowed for models of Impact Models Studio, and this is part of our contract. It is unprofessional if our talent does this, and it is by no means a standard practice in the industry.

Does joining the agency mean my child will get assignments, and how much will the wage be?
No, we do not guarantee any assignments, as there are factors we cannot control, such as child’s performance, client’s requests, etc. The wages vary, dependent on the type of assignment.

What kind of assignments do you send the child models to?
The assignments range from photo shoots for covers of magazines, fashion spreads, editorials to commercials for products, property ads, event launches, television commercials, etc.

Does the agency take a commission?
Yes, the agency does take a commission of 25% per assignment.

What is an audition?

An audition can also be known as a casting. This is the process where the decision to select the child for an assignment is made. It begins with a photo presentation to the clients based on the specific brief given by the clients. The client then selects the model they wish to see in person to ensure they are suitable for the assignment. Auditions are usually held during working hours on weekdays at the client’s office or a requested location. At a casting, the child may be photographed, asked to try on clothes, or to showcase their skills in front of the camera.

Does my child need to skip school for auditions or assignments?
Yes, in most auditions and assignments they will be held on a weekday.

Is there a penalty fee if I withdraw my child from the agency?
There is no penalty fee involved for child models who wish to withdraw. There is a one-month notice in writing that is required from the parents, before the termination of the contract can take effect.
