Kid Model and Actress Available in Atlanta and North Carolina
Hi friends! I have some exciting news: I'm officially available for modeling and acting bookings in Atlanta, Georgia and North Carolina, in addition to my home base in the DMV (that's Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia). I wanted to write a whole post explaining what that means and why I'm so excited about it.
Atlanta is one of the biggest film and TV production hubs in the entire country, with so many movies, shows, and commercials filming there every year. Being travel-ready for Atlanta means I get access to way more casting opportunities than if I only stayed close to home.
North Carolina also has a growing production scene, with film and TV projects, commercials, and print campaigns happening throughout the state. Having a young actress and model who's ready to travel there is a big plus for casting directors working on projects in that area.
Being 'travel-ready' means a few important things. It means my parent and I are prepared to travel for the right role, that we understand travel and lodging details are usually worked out between my parent and the production or agency, and that I'm just as prepared and professional on a set far from home as I am close to home.
I take my preparation seriously no matter where a job is. That means practicing my lines, working on self-tapes with good lighting and a plain background, keeping my headshots current, and staying flexible with scheduling. Being ready to travel doesn't change any of that — it just means I'm ready for more opportunities.
So far, my own credits include commercials, modeling work, and a role in a feature film, all built from starting local and saying yes to new experiences. You can see the full list on my Credits & Press page. Growing up in the DMV taught me so much about being professional and prepared, and now I get to bring those same skills to bigger markets like Atlanta and North Carolina.
For casting directors, talent agents, and brands, here's what working with me looks like: I'm quick to learn, I take direction well, I show up prepared, and my parent is with me at every audition and every shoot to handle logistics and make sure everything runs smoothly.
If you have a project filming in Atlanta, North Carolina, or anywhere in the DMV, I'd love to be considered. You can find my full portfolio and headshots on my homepage, and my acting and modeling background on my Credits & Press page. I'm represented by The Brock Agency, Inc., so casting directors and brands working in these markets can reach out to my agency directly!
Thank you so much for reading, and I hope to see you on set soon, wherever that may be! Love, Eleaya
