The It helps to be as knowledgeable as possible about the child acting industry in order to find those elusive kid auditions. You do not have to pay in advance for any acting kid auditions, or for the services of a child’s acting agent. Avoid expensive scams that ask for large amounts of money with zero guarantees of any real results.
It might be a good idea to enroll your child in acting classes, voice lessons and children’s theater groups. Agents do not choose clients on looks alone and prefer child actors with talent, good reading skills, voice projection and some relevant experience. An agent doesn’t make any commission money unless his clients make money. If they don’t see potential in your child they will not work toward finding kid auditions for you. The agent needs to see your child has both the skill and desire to make it in the business before he will consider sending you to a kid’s audition.
Modeling clothes or appearing in print product ads is a good way to get an aspiring child actor started toward acting kid auditions. The modeling work is less demanding than real acting and can be a good way to gain some experience, exposure and credits. When you attend an audition for kids, try to observe the unwritten standard for child acting that mandates one parent for each child on the working set. Leave the relatives, friends and pets at home. Due to the intense level of competition at kid auditions and the demands of the acting business in general, child actors perform better when they are not distracted.
Parents will need to supply two documents at a kid audition in order to prove the minors are legally able to work. A Social Security card and a valid Work Permit from your state’s department of social services are required in many states. These documents should be provided to parents free of charge. If the child is still in school, proper time for schooling will be provided on the set. Your child will also have to be in good academic standing and exhibit good conduct in order to qualify to work. Parents will be provided notice of the requirements at the kid auditions site.
