If you are going to get your children involved in the acting or modeling business, you must be willing to be patient and understanding of the uncertainty of your child’s behavior that day. NEVER get upset or frustrated with your child. Casting directors are aware that children/babies are not always comfortable in new surroundings and can have a bad day. That being said, ALWAYS, give them encouraging words even if you know the day did not go well for your child.

You may walk into an audition and your child is having a great day and suddenly they have a melt down at the audition. Don’t give up-the next audition could get them the job.

Also, if your child is painfully shy or you say to yourself “they need to warm up for a while”, you may need to reconsider the entertainment business. Though they may be the most beautiful child in the world, whether acting or modeling, the casting directors only give each child a few minutes and they must see or hear the personality withing a few minutes. On many occasions, they will take the child(if they are of speaking age) in the audition room without the parents.
