Perform 4 Good 2025

Perform 4 Good 2025

Perform 4 Good is an opportunity to audition for a panel of Casting Directors or Agents; whilst raising money for a valuable cause - Young Minds. 

We’ve got TWO rooms dedicated to this popular element of the expo, 1 exclusive to Agents and 1 for Casting Directors. 

Young Performers can pre-register their details using the link below and on October 31st at 10am a link will be sent out to ALL young performers to pre-book your slot. For those who secure an audition slot, a compulsory charitable donation is required via our Go Fund Me page for Young Minds . However, there is no minimum donation so this is up to your own circumstances to donate what you can. Anything is amazing, and highly appreciated by our charity! 

It is strictly one slot per person, and you cannot book both rooms. You must pick 1 time slot, in 1 room. This is to give the opportunity to as many young performers as possible. Any duplicate bookings will be cancelled. 

Both rooms have the same form, you only need to submit your details once. At the point of booking, you’ll be able to choose your room. 

Please note you need a ticket to enter Young Talent Expo 2025 to take part in Perform 4 Good – it’s an opportunity for existing ticket holders.
