YAFTA TALENT AGENCY – TALENT AGENCY

YAFTA Talent Agency is an award-winning and dynamic screen acting agency representing a diverse range of actors throughout the UK.

We are absolutely thrilled to have won: Best Screen Acting Agency 2018 in the Global Entertainment Awards.

LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION!

The agency was established in 2013 predominantly to showcase newly trained talent from the Yorkshire Academy of Film & Television Acting, however, after building a good reputation we received a number of requests from actors wishing to be represented by YAFTA and therefore decided to open our books to all.

We represent a diverse range of actors for all types of screen work including feature films, short films, music videos, TV drama, soaps, commercials and corporate work.

The agency has three main divisions

Children

Most of our children are Northern based and train with the Yorkshire Academy of Film & Television Acting.

Disability

We represent a number of artists who are either physically disabled or who have a learning difficulty, these artists are all professional working actors who have trained with specialist academies. They are based all over the country.

Adults

Our adults are all fully trained, Spotlight registered, professional actors.

YAFTA Talent Agency is a member of the PMA

We are a registered Spotlight Agency for children as well as adults
