About us
Welcome to Kids in Commercials: What Every Parent Should Know — a community created for parents, grandparents, and families interested in learning how kids really get cast in commercials, television, and brand campaigns.
This group was created by Real People Casting Director Asjai Lou (American Idol, Big Brother, McDonald’s, Nike, Coca-Cola, T-Mobile), alongside Commercial Casting Director Cindy Estrada (T-Mobile, AT&T, Volkswagen, Burger King, Amazon, Hilton, Walgreens, Chase) and Talent Agent Shirley Faison — talent agent and mother of actor Donald Faison.
Most commercials are looking for REAL kids and families — not just trained actors with huge resumes. This group is designed to help everyday families better understand the entertainment industry, commercial casting process, self-tapes, photos, agents, permits, SAG information, safety tips, and more.
Inside this community, we’ll share:
• Educational classes and workshops
• Commercial casting information
• Industry resources for parents
• Tips from working casting professionals
• Q&As and live conversations
• Guidance on navigating the industry safely and professionally
Whether your child is newborn or 18 years old, this group is here to help families learn, ask questions, and better understand how the industry works.
