Good Advice From Parents Before Lining Up For Broadway Auditions For Kids

By Brian Walker


It seems like some children are just born to perform. They are cute, precocious, and love attention. Many are also very talented little singers, dancers, and actors. Parents who have these kinds of youngsters often consider bringing them to the attention of a talent agency or entering them in a lineup for Broadway auditions for kids. It isn't as easy as it might seem however, and experienced parents of child actors suggest you start slow and set a lot of ground rules.

Getting discovered and heading straight for starring roles on stage is not particularly realistic. If your child is interested, you could enter her in a local play to see what happens. If that goes well, you could begin to develop a portfolio of photos and videos, much like an adult develops a resume. You should be aware that auditioning requires time and money. Scheduling and budgeting are important factors to consider.

Hopefully you are not even attempting this kind of endeavor unless your child is fully interested, excited, and on board with the idea. It is a good idea to involve child in the auditioning process. If your youngster is not interested in singing roles, music lessons will probably not be successful.

For the vast majority of families, child acting is a fun hobby that everybody enjoys. Removing a child from public school and putting her into a home schooling situation may allow for more flexibility, but it may not be the right decision for your child. Routine is important to children. They like to know what to expect. Keeping conditions normal even when kids are in the midst of acting jobs is important.

Rejection is a big part of auditioning, and if your youngster is overly sensitive, or if you are, this might not be the right activity for either one of you. Learning lines, dressing up in costumes, and applying makeup are fun activities that most children enjoy. They are less likely to feel stressed and anxious over a part if you downplay the importance of winning it.

Children's interests change all the time. One day your little one may want to be a famous actor, and the next day love the idea of playing professional football. It is important not to put too much weight on the importance of getting acting roles when talking to your children. If you try to force the issue, it may backfire on you.

It is not hard to overextend yourself and your child. If acting is something your child truly wants to pursue, you will have to keep your priorities at the forefront. When an audition conflicts with an important family or community event, you may have to say no to the acting opportunity. There will always be other chances to showcase your child's talents.

The most important thing you can do for your child is give her plenty of love, support, and encouragement. Growing up can be difficult under the best of circumstances. Your child may not end up on the New York stage, but she can grow up to be a well rounded, successful adult with great childhood acting memories.
