About Young Talent Expo

Young Talent Expo is organised by the same team who run Actors Pro Expo. We are an expo to support young performers to delve into the industry by equipping them with important and realistic information. Attendees range from 8-21, and come from all over the UK to attend our exciting event.

At the expo, we run seminars and workshops covering wide variety of topics such as Musical Theatre and Stage & Screen Acting. We also have a live stage throughout the expo, where we invite Special Guests to be interviewed, and have pictures with our attendees. On top of all this, the expo’s provide emerging talent with the opportunity to be seen by top Casting Directors and Agents. Exhibitors including top Drama Schools, Performing Arts Colleges, Industry Bodies and more are in attendance to connect, and engage with young performers.

Develop

The ‘Develop’ sector of the event will provide the chance for actors to re-consider their head shot, learn about websites, and consider a show reel. All companies will be there to promote their services and actors will be able to gain information, obligation free. This is a great opportunity to be introduced to various ways in which your career could be enhanced. Companies who provide training for professional actors will also attend to introduce their classes aimed at refreshing one’s craft. Again, actors will be able to meet and greet those who are directly involved with the company without the obligation to pay membership fees up front.

Sustain

As any professional actor knows, sometimes having a second job to pay the rent is essential in order to sustain a long-lasting career. Companies who are looking to employ actors for promotional work, teaching and other flexible jobs that actors are perfect for, will be invited. Each of these companies have lots of work opportunities to offer, which may be integral to surviving those difficult months in between acting jobs. In addition, they understand your primary desire to work as an actor, allowing you the flexibility to attend auditions around your work.

Create

This is an important part of the event; unique opportunities for actors to learn about creating their own work and find out about casting websites. Seminars with industry professionals will take place to provide fundamental information to inspire and encourage professional actors. These will all be realistic and honest for the benefit of those looking to create new, exciting and fresh work to enhance their career. The opportunity to network with other like-minded actors and industry members will also offer you the chance to create working relationships and potential business opportunities.
