It is crucial for your child to be the one that really wants to get in the entertainment industry. Agents and casting directors are hesitant to speak to a family when the mom and dad are pushing a child to get inside our industry. We would like to see the child practically begging to get in our business. WHY? Because as soon as the child starts auditioning or working on potential bookings, we are going to know immediately if this is the kid's dream or the mom's or dad's dream. Simply ask your kid, "Do you really want to be on television and have your picture taken?" If your kid replies with something other than genuine excitement and drive, I would recommend signing your child up for sports activities or another extra curricular activity.
When searching up kid's acting agencies around your area (or the nearest biggest city to you), read the agency's website and ask around with other parents in the industry. The major things you are searching for are SUCCESS STORIES. I'm not specifically speaking about huge projects or leading roles in films. But does that agency have simple accounts of success to show they will work for your little one? (Commercials, Music Videos, Prints Advertisements, etc.) You should expect to give your youngster's agent every tool they need which includes professional industry-standard photographs, acting courses, listing on website and video clip demonstrations for representation.
Ask the modeling company how many children they currently represent that are similar to your children's look, age and ethnicity. This is very important so your child does not get misplaced in the mix. If they represent 20 young children that are much like your child, the chance your kid can get called is substantially reduced. Also, when you visit the agency and meet for representation, don't forget to look around casually to see the number of kids similar to your kid. From time to time your laid-back, non-intrusive investigation will help you make a smart decision.
Remember that you are interviewing the modeling agency as much as they are interviewing you. Every company is not suitable for every model. You must make sure your child has chemistry with the talent agent. They will often ask your kid to audition for the agency. This is normal. Also, it is typical that the agency may not make a quick decision. Unless you are Completely comfortable, never sign a legal contract during that initial meeting. Take the time to read throughout the contract and do a little bit more investigation on the agency.
Most of all, thank the company for their time and immediately send a follow-up mail or simple greeting card that says "Thank you!" It is simple but will go a long way in helping the agency to know you are an easy-going family. They're signing your child, however, they must like you as well. If they choose to pass on your kid, start the process again trying to find another modeling agency. Our industry has a lot of rejection. But don't forget, you only need one "YES" to begin! Now, go break-a-leg!
