Not for new players

Not for those who are new.

It’s been a year since I signed up and have no jobs. When asked for the list of jobs they have put me forward to, I stopped getting any responses. James was good and friendly but ultimately it’s about work, Pete never responds back. So I wouldn’t recommend LBD. You loose money!

Hello Gugguism

We are always disappointed that any of LBD clients feel this way. We advise everyone that we do all that is needed behind scenes as the process of advising clients of submissions and updates just takes too much time away from the business. Peters job is to submit our clients for working opportunities and correspond with casting directors and will only contact our clients directly if inquiring about availability or to confirm a casting/work. This has and will always remain very clear when the registration takes place. We cannot guarantee work or castings and can only be as effective as the information our clients provide us with. We have also looked for any trace of your name on our database and can conclude that there is no record of any details referring to your name so can only assume that this is a fake review deemed to cause harm to the company name brand. We would be open to discussions with you if you are in fact a REAL client of LBD.
Regards

Little Big Door awful agency

Terrible awful agency. Signed me up over a year ago without meeting me. I sent portfolio to him. Told me I would have loads of work. Never got one job or even an offer of one. Phoned him a few times he was very rude and told me he would take me off his books but would not send my money back

Hi Mrs Bressers,

We are sorry that you feel this way however since joining the company you have never completed our selftape test assessment or updated any of your or your sons images or information. This makes it very difficult for agents to apply for castings as nine times out of ten your details will be incorrect. This then compacts a bad look onto the agency that really is not their fault. This is why we have the in our terms and conditions that you must keep your details up to date at least every six months to remain with the agency. As we pointed out, this has never been done by you.
All the very best.

Bad experience

Bad experience. Wasted £180 almost a year ago and never got it back, on a refund nor even in a single job. Never been informed if submitted to a job ever, just chatting over the phone about staff personal issues or how my self-tape ‘had to be corrected’. Asked 3 times through email what job I’ve been submitted and they’re not even replying. They posted under their name a video of an ad I did with a different agency and I had to ask to remove it, for respect. Did anybody ever get any job??? “Being kind” does not replace “getting jobs” which is why someone signs up. Definitely taking it off my list of agencies.

Hi Simona,
Thank you for your review. We cannot always please everyone that is on our books, we cannot guarantee work but we always endeavor to strive for success. After all, we only make money once you have completed work so it is in our own best interest to be as productive as we can, we just cannot predict if our submissions will be successful or not. We advised you in the beginning that we do not list the work you have been submitted for and advise as it tends to then lead to more than average emails that tends to limit the time spent on actually submitting for the work in the first place. You joined us only in August of last year so not really a long time ago however you wanted to cancel and be refunded after our cooling off period had closed just over a month later. From here onwards there has been a constant stream of emails to different staff members and often with very confusing and quite personal content. The video you sent for us to update, you then emailed for it to be removed. Yes we would respond via telephone and the conversations were only in a reflective manner to what they had been received.
Albeit we are sorry that you have had a bad experience and have not been successful in connecting to paid work but i feel that is beyond our abilities to not only predict the future of incoming work but to deliver the one to one management style that you clearly were looking for.
We wish you all the love and success on your ongoing journey in this industry.

Island Boy Excitement

What can I say, it was my first professional photo shoot and I was a bit nervous at first but my bold confidence took over and it turned out out to be great, Paulo Garcia was also awesome and even if I don’t get any jobs the experience was worth more than I can ask for, big thank you Thomas Street Studios Limited

I was contacted today through my new modelling instagram account from @booking_fashionistamodels regarding a paid international job for Ralph Lauren. Being new to the industry, I wanted to ensure I was protecting myself from being scammed. I called my agency and spoke to James Scott who kindly looked into this for me and confirmed it was in fact a scam.
I cannot thank James enough for his kind and very friendly guidance. Please all be aware of any requests you get from this instagram page. We’re all here to look out for each other. 😊 James, it was an absolute pleasure talking to you.

Love Little Big Door

Despite the name, there’s nothing little about the hearts at this agency. They genuinely care about their talent and are dedicated to helping each person shine. James has been amazing from the offset and I feel like I’ve known him forever. Whether you’re destined to be the next big thing or just looking for a chance to showcase your quirky charm, they make you feel like you belong.
Nothing is too much trouble and messages and emails are responded to in a flash.
I can’t recommend them enough!

I came into this industry with lack of knowledge and uncertainty. My first telephone conversation put all my worries and concerns to rest. James was friendly, positive and honest. I have found that communication is easy and responsive and I don’t feel silly asking any questions. With the agencies confident and enthusiastic support I feel inspired to move forward in this industry.

I am new to this industry

I am new to this industry, and was feeling lost within it. I was able to have a direct call from the head of the agency, who has guided me through the process of getting myself started. I am now feeling so much more confident on starting my modelling journey. And I wish to say compared to other agencies they have gone over broad to make me feel special and important to them as a model.
I would definitely recommended them to anyone at any stage in their modelling career.

I am an ABSOLUTE beginner

I am an ABSOLUTE beginner, in this industry, at 43 years old, I didn't think I'd have a chance.

I did my photoshoot with TS STUDIOS in Manchester.

I registered with Little Big Door, around the beginning of December 2023, my profile went live 15/12/23.

I CANNOT praise enough the help and support I received.

Many agencies will contact you to sign up with them after photoshoot, they will give you sales chat disguised as work opportunities making promises and get you to make payment and sign up with them.

LITTLE BIG DOOR, is NOTHING like that.

The first point of contact with LBD, was an absolute gem of a member of staff, by the name of Michelle. She has brilliant. I had my concerns, and doubts about joining agencies. Michelle, has been so supportive, considerate and helpful. She actually, gave me her time, and listened to me. As she explained, the industry, LBD, and experience as a whole, I felt comfortable in mind, and during the very first conversation, I had already made my mind about joining LBD. I cannot praise her enough.

Just recently this week, I managed to speak to James (Owner/Operator) of LBD. Amazing guy,
I explained my problem with Emails. And he has also been very supportive.

I have also listed with Tamim via email.

I have submitted my Self -Tape and looking forward to growing with LBD, and I welcome new opportunities in 2024 and beyond.

I strongly recommend LITTLE BIG DOOR, get your feet through their door, anc I'm confident, MANY more doors of opportunities will open. GOOD LUCK to you all. Peace and Blessings be upon you 🙏

Little Big Door have been amazing

Little Big Door have been amazing, they are constantly in contact with me and whenever I call James will always answer and if not he would call me back. I can not fault the communication, whenever I have a question even about other agencies James has always been there and given me honest advise which I appreciate. The industry is very difficult to break into but I am new to this (1 month) and waiting for my first shot. But I am more than confident that LBD will be there to support me and stand by me to bring out my best.

Highly recommend anyone to join this agency. As of yet I haven’t received work as I’ve only recently joined and started out with modelling but have been made to feel comfortable from the start by James. He always gives good advice and guides you in the best way he can.

I recently joined Little Big Door and was having a bit of a wobble, but after speaking to James, who was extremely helpful and reassuring, I feel that I know more what I need to do with his help and advice. I didn’t feel rushed or a nuisance and the advice he gave was invaluable, I have no regrets in joining this agency.

Thanks Sally for that kind review. We work so hard behind the scenes and will do our best to help anyone who contacts us for advice and guidance. We are always thinking of ways to move the business forward including your recent job with us. We are so excited to see the results from it and I know it will really help our clients in this competitive industry. We won't always please everyone but I guess that's the nature of this industry. "The only person that can limit you is yourself" Something I was taught a long time ago and it is so true. You are a joy to work with and long may we continue to do so!
Kind Regards

Highly recommend little big door. Had a lovely conversation with James who was so helpful and motivating. After a lot of time away from the agency he was more than happy to remind me what I need to do to achieve my goals. Amazing.

Take Harry's Call! 5🌟

We have mainly been in correspondence with Harry at LittleBigDoor. Whenever we have needed a question answered, advice on modeling or anything else, he has always been available pick up the phone to answer them.

My daughter has only been with the agency for a short time but it feels we have been part of this family for a very long time with Harrys help!

Thank you all for your amazing work and look forward to meeting/chatting with more of the team.

I completely recommend if Harry comes knocking, you should definitely hear him out. (Although he's a boro fan!)
