We offer a unique and dynamic approach to actors management.
The Young Actors Studio Management (YAS) founded in 2020 is set to offer a unique approach to actors' representation in Cape Town on the basis that our young actors have the option of being coached at The Young Actors Studio - therefore we can confidently say that they are camera fit and audition ready.
90% of the actors we have guided in their audition prep and self-tapes have landed roles in TVC’s and Local and International Film and TV Series. Recent TV series and films include Disney’s Black Beauty, Bulletproof and more recently the History Channel Biopic - Lincoln.
Every actor who is requested for a casting or audition will receive coaching preparation and we will guide them (and their parents) through every step of the process.
Our YAS Management Philosophy
Nurture & Guide
We believe that by coaching and nurturing our young actors we help them find their own authenticity in front of the camera so they can “show up” for our local and international casting directors with pride and confidence.
We like to have the parents involved!
In addition to coaching them, we make sure their parents are well informed about the ins and outs of our industry and help them manage expectations. By doing so we believe we contribute to helping to build our Young Stars careers while bringing higher standards in the industry.
