Profile Set Up for Bizzy Artists & Models

PLEASE USE DESKTOP VERSION AND NOT THE APP, OR MOBILE DEVICE TO SET UP YOUR PROFILE!

Once issued with log in details, your profile is live for clients to see. You are therefore now being seen by clients, it is vital your profile is looking good!

The information you now submit determines what bookers and clients can see and how we submit you for work.


1) Firstly, we need your paperwork uploaded for you to work legally.

    Please download your documents at https://www.bizzykidzagency.com/agencydocs  where you will also find instruction on how and where to upload them.


2) Using desktop version (not the app), go through your profile page by page and complete as much info as possible. Also upload a selection of very good images, in colour, with a nice close up headshot in slot 1.


Pay special attention to the below

3) Ensure heritage under the ‘personal details’ tab is completed. It should read e.g. mum irish/dad French etc


4)  Natural accent - this is what they speak at home please, it is found in skills and you choose the one with the star for the one they speak naturally and without the star if they can do it proficiently - for a major film role with full script etc and not just the odd word or phrase


5) Base - This is the city you live closest to. Your permanent address. 


6) Home Address should also be added in personal details


7) LEA - This is your local education authority, so your council, regardless of age of artist and needs to be added


8) No efolio links are allowed, these are for self promotion and have your personal details on, they are a conflict for agencies and profiles will not be submitted to our clients with these present


9) Website - do not add anything in that field, that is for our agency Pro-Folio links. See www.bizzykidzagency.com/pro-folios for further information 


10) Social Media - add your insta link if you have one, so we can tag you from ours when we post about work you are involved in etc. If you are new to Instagram our social media guru can book you in on a 1 to 1 zoom instagram workshop at https://www.bizzykidzagency.com/workshops


11) Sizes - We must have height, shoe size, clothing size to appear on a search for ALL ages and anything in addition to that should be added for over 4's. The more you have on the profile the more searches you will appear on, so please bear that in mind and keep it up to date every month. 


12) YES TO / NO TO - Select those that suit you, here we can establish where you are happy to travel to, can stay at and many other things!


The more info available then the higher your chance of fitting the right criteria for a client brief. With this in mind please add info to your Skills section and levels/grades etc into the training area.


There is one other thing you can do that will assist bookers for confirming assignments, and that is add a weblink. 

Weblinks field is in the personal details section of your profile and is where to add a tape. This is to show accent, confidence and any abilities.


INSTRUCTION

Short Introduction tape, do not state age or location.

Examples:


Little ones: A little clip of them laughing, playing etc, just to show character and personality.

Older ones: Hi my name is .., I am ...yrs old and with Bizzy Agency. I love this , I dont like that, hobbies are…, want to be .. when i grow up, 

These are ideas, maybe say something interesting thats happened to them, something funny etc

Nice and close, put hands up to camera at the end to show front and back.

Maybe pan out to show full length at the end.


You can upload several of these, just ensure they are removed/replaced as you change.

Do not add long clips, clients get bored, and add a different one for each skill and name them as such; so 'Singing', or 'Intro', or 'dancing' , or 'gymnastics', or 'accents' etc


You would need to add clips to YouTube or vimeo (you can make it so only people with a link can see it) and then add the URL to the weblink area on the profile in personal details as LOTS of clients ask for these and usually want them immediately).

If you would like to book a 1 to 1 workshop with our coach to help you with this and more see HERE

For all ages

Within the invitation we sent you, there is facility for you to create a password to log into your Tagmin profile. Tagmin is the name of the software we use for all our artists. It is the fastest and most efficient agency software used by the majority of clients in the industry and has many fabulous features to help make your and our lives easier and your assigned booker handles all submissions for you.

You should also download the free TagminTalent app in the app store. This will be needed when doing self tape auditions for clients PLEASE DO NOT USE THE APP TO SET UP YOUR PROFILE, ADD IMAGES, OR LICENCE DOCS/CONTRACTS you should use desktop version.


You should maintain their images and aim to refresh them regularly throughout the year to keep them current.

Babies should ideally change images monthly.


Don't forget that clients insist on up to date images of artists, and of course they change! So please ensure that the images reflect the artist that may be booked and walk through the clients door! Surprises with different colour, or length hair arriving for a shoot will result in them being turned away, so update your images when any changes occur. 


London Model Division

You must use professional images on your profile. You are welcome to book in with our London studio HERE if needed and use good snapshots until your appointment for a maximum of 30 days.


ADDITIONAL READING - Reminders

Here are a few reminders to help your profile look the best for clients.

  1. If you have professional images on your profile try to not deface the quality by adding poor quality snapshots into the other slots. It is better to have nothing in the last slots than poor shots. Clients do like to see a mixture of snaps and pro images but try to keep them to a standard and the first image MUST be a smiley headshot and in full colour.
  2. Hobbies, skills with grades and levels is so important. Do not leave these blank
  3. As and when your child loses teeth and they grow back, please put this info in the health field in your profile. Likewise, the same applies to braces and if they develop chickenpox etc.
  4. Add dates that you cannot make a casting, or shoot to your calendar on your profile. We may negotiate on your behalf with a client for weeks behind the scenes so need your availability to be accurate.
  5. Check that reference to your skills and experiences is up to date re grades and level of achievement for clients. Also remember to add any new jobs you take part in into the correct section (do not list auditions and do not put ‘have attended auditions’ in these fields- this can be interpreted as a negative if they weren't booked) Just put the name of the brand and date the shoot took place. This must be proven work.
  6. Check and update sizes monthly to be completely up to date. Tick the box to confirm if no change as that will date it for clients.

If you enter your password incorrectly 5 times it will block you, please wait 1 hour then try again. If it is still incorrect then please use the forgotten password facility to reset.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you try to log in and it is asking for a 4 digit pin number that would mean you have set up 2 way authentication on the app and not completed it. So do not do that if you can help it!

If you cannot log in it usually means you have entered your details incorrectly more than 5 times and it has locked you out. You have to wait an hour for it to unlock. We would then suggest returning to the log in area and clicking forgotten password to get a reminder or reset.

If you cannot view images then you are probably in the app - use the desktop version and go to your gallery and you will find them there. Likewise if you can't find the legal and financial area, that is also only viewable in the desktop version.

REMEMBER you cannot upload images in the app,…..only in the desktop version - make sure you have saved the images you wish to use to the device you are logging in from, so either your computer, or laptop, then upload them from there. You might have slow internet speed and it is causing it to timeout, so if that is the issue then try making the images smaller. You can do this quite easily by emailing the image to yourself and choosing to send smaller versions. When they arrive in your email, save those smaller images to your device and upload again.

If you still struggle then maybe clear your cache and cookies, or use another browser.

Google chrome is usually an issue, so we suggest Firefox as a better alternative.
