television program whilst our 'Achievements/Experiences' section

work our kids have taken part in since our last newsletter. Lastly, we
would also like to extend a huge thank you to those who continue to
send letters in telling us about your stories and experiences. We truly
appreciate your feedback.
‘All For Kids’ TV Show
Hosted
for kids by kids, the ‘All for Kids’ TV show has already experienced
its first successful season in 2008, having become a popular Summer TV
program broadcasted on Channel 7. Run exclusively by kids aged between
6 and 8, the show focuses on fun activities such as cooking, gardening
and science. Since its first season, broadcasted in the summer of 2008,
the ‘All for Kids’ television program has provided a long term work
opportunity for one of the kids representing Bettina Management. If you
didn’t get a chance to check it out last year, this season’s episodes
have been aired since August 21 at the brand new time of 3:30pm on
Channel 7. Keen on the show? DVD’s have just been released for
purchase. Check them out!
‘Sunday Night’ Program
Earlier
this year the talents of Bettina’s kids were flaunted on Channel 7’s
‘Sunday Night’ program shown at 6:30pm. The show on this particular
night was a documentary that delved into the giggly topic of
circumcision and was the result of a photo shoot held late last year.
Monique Wright, the program’s reporter was present at the shoot where a
group of babies from the agency were filmed crawling about the scene.
Amongst these were: 9 month old Kyan Sullivan who performed well on his
debut job, the now 1 year old Taiaroa Lowe and little Benji Crumlin who
was later invited to star in a shoot for Bonds, advertising their new
line of outfits released in August. Good on you kids! Check them out!
Dolly Magazine Photo shoot
‘Dreams
came true’ for 11 year old Annalise McLachlan who did a great job at a
Dolly Magazine photo shoot held in preparation for the release of the
September edition titled ‘ShopGirl’. Jessica Bumpus, Dolly’s Fashion
Editor tipped the edition to “be like a teen Vogue”. After having been
introduced to her photographer and make-up artist, Annalise was invited
to wear four different outfits as her hair was styled and re-styled for
the shoots. She had a blast! Special thanks goes out to Annalise’s
parents for making the trip to Sydney to make all of this possible.
Great work!
Old El Paso Photo shoot
Bettina
Management couldn’t be prouder of little Javier Rodriguez who was
selected on a national scale to star in Old El Paso’s latest television
commercial. Javier was flown from Melbourne to Sydney for three nights
as he took part in the commercial in which he was thrown up and down in
festive celebration on a set resembling Mexico town. Javier greatly
appreciated his speaking parts and the company of his fellow actors.
Annalise McLachlan – Dolly Magazine (ads/mags/print)
Hello Anna,
A BIG BIG THANKYOU to Bettina for helping me get the Dolly magazine
photo shoot. My name is Annalise I am 11 years old and I had the
best day ever!
First of all I got to meet Jessie, she is the fashion editor for Dolly
magazine. Jessie was so funny and super cool. Then I was introduced to
Samantha, she was in charge of hair and makeup and then Paul who was
the photographer they were all so friendly to me.
I got to wear four different outfits and my hair was styled different
every time. Jessie, Sam and Paul were so much fun they made feel
like a princess.
The outfits I wore were really great I loved how Jessie mixed and matched and put the outfits together.
Jessie told us that Dolly are launching a new magazine and I will be in
the very first issue it is called "ShopGirl" and is going to be like a
teen "Vogue".
The magazine will be out in September and I can't wait to see it.
Thankyou to mum and dad for taking me to Sydney and thankyou Bettina for making my dreams come true.
XO Annalise McLachlan.
Benji Crumlin – Sunday Night Program (TV show/Documentary)
When
we got the first phone call from Bettina we were all very excited.
Benji was asked to appear on a Channel 7 documentary with a group of
other little babies all around the same age. On the day we all had a
great time at the studio while they took heaps of photos and film for
the documentary while the presenter lady sat in the middle of all the
crawling babies. Anna rang me straight afterwards to make sure it all
went smoothly.
We were even more excited when we received another phone call from the
Bettina girls to say Benji had been chosen for another audition for
bonds. After the audition Anna rang with great news - Benji was to
attend a photoshoot with Bonds. Another busy day under the lights, with
makeup, hair etc. It was wonderful to meet new friends and get a sneaky
preview of the new Bonds outfits to hit the racks in August.
Thanks Anna - Fun times - Keep the calls coming!
Nicola Crumlin
Javier Rodriguez – Old El Paso (TVC)
I
was so excited, when l was told that l had the part in the Old El Paso
Commercial. We flew to Sydney for four days to film. l was blown away
with how the set was set up, it looked liked Mexico town. My favourite
part was when they had thrown me up in the air for a festive
celebration, I wasn’t scared at all. I knew they had a safety officer
holding onto me. I enjoyed doing the close up, into the camera and
pretending that l was speaking to my cousin jose. I had a few speaking
parts, which was fun. Everyone was so nice to me and I had so much fun.
Anna and crew, thank you so much for a very enjoyable experience!
Kyan Sullivan – Sunday Night Program (TV show/Documentary)
Hi Juliette
Just want to let you know that as my little boy Kyan's first gig,
the experience with Channel 7 Sunday Night Program was excellent (in
late March this year). They were a bunch of professional and friendly
people. Monique Wright was so approachable and lovely and patient with
the babies. It was an enjoyable and fun experience.
Regards
Karen Cheng

“Hi Tabatha,
Thank you for the past two opportunities
you have presented to Lachlan. Not being a biased parent I hope, I have
been absolutely impressed with Lachlan's approach to all of this. While
doing the auditions, Lachlan has remained completely un-phased in
comparison to the other children around him.
It seems hand in glove for him, even if
nothing does come from these auditions, Lachlan has gained sense of
confidence you simply can not buy. That is what we believe is so
important. He has always shown an ability in the arts such as dancing
and performing but being a boy’s boy much preferring footy and cricket
at this stage.
Once again, thank you so much for considering Lachlan for the last two audition opportunities.”
Danielle Gleeson (mother of Lachlan)
“Dear Tabatha and all the Staff at Bettina Management,
I would like to thank you for allowing me
to spend my Work Experience Placement at Bettina Management. I enjoyed
my time with you all very much. This gave me an idea of what working at
a modeling agency would be like. Maybe in the future I would take on a
position in this area of work force or something along this path.
Over that one week I have learned a great
deal about myself and the life in the modeling agency. Now I feel more
confident about my career direction and understanding the requirements
of the job. Throughout that one week I enjoyed being around a great
group of people that made me feel comfortable with myself and made me
realize something I would have never known.
Thank you all once again for all your kindness and assistance to me.”
Alyssha Paola - Work Placement
“Hi Anna,
I’d just like to say how much Harrison
& I enjoyed his very 1st assignment. Since being only new to this
industry we really didn’t know what to expect we had thought it was a
photo shoot at Foxtel Studios but much to our & everyone else’s
surprise it turned out to be a TV story it was very exciting for all.
Everyone was so friendly; we met some very nice Mum’s & Bubs from
Bettina as well and had a wonderful time. His TV debut was last Sunday
evening on Channel 7’s “Sunday Night” programme.”
Jennifer Bond (mother of Harrison)
“Hello Anna
I would like to say a big THANK YOU for all
the work you have got for me like Aldi and all the castings you have
sent me on even though I haven’t got a part on a commercial it doesn’t
matter because I have fun trying anyway but I really love my photo
shoots with ALDI my photographer I usually have is really nice and
funny.
My mum gets really excited to when I am on a job.
Again THANK YOU heaps for trusting in me when I am representing you at ‘Betttina’s’”
Baeley Recchia (ALDI castings)
“Hi Anna
Well what can I say, I've never done anything in the TV industry before
and it was a great experience to do the Commercial. It was interesting
to see how they operate behind the scenes and the amount of
preparations that go into it. I met some nice people and had an
enjoyable time.
Thanks for the opportunity....”
Paul Bell (TV Commercial)
