All parents want the best for their children and for many parents this means giving their child the possibility of making it as a child star. From television, to modelling, to film; there are several opportunities for children to make it big from an early age. However, these are very unique markets, and you need to know your stuff before you and your child embark on this journey. Thus, keep reading to discover ten top tips for getting your kid into the world of stardom…
  1. It’s all about who you know – Show business is all about having quality contacts. Talk, talk and talk some more! Join Facebook, Twitter and all the other social media websites of today. You never know where one conversation could lead. (Note: You need to be savvy too, there are a lot of scams out there). You can read this on how to spend the right amount on paid media if you’ve got a budget for advertising. 
  2. Enter talent shows / contests – This will help to get your child noticed. It will build their self-esteem and it will make them more ready for the industry. 
  3. Practise, practise, practise – Whether your child wants to get into modelling or acting, there is no such thing as too much practise. You should also make sure your child practises in front of others in order to get their confidence up. 
  4. Choose an agency wisely – The agency you opt for is one of your most important decisions. You need to make sure they have a good reputation and are active in their search for job opportunities. You also want to ensure they represent your child well. 
  5. Keep it fun – The moment it starts becoming unenjoyable for your child is the moment you need to call it a day. Nothing is more important than your child’s happiness.
  6. Put together a professional portfolio – Whether it is a modelling book or a video portfolio of your child acting, there is one key ingredient to success – and this is versatility. You need to show that your child is not a one trick pony and that he or she has the ability to adapt to any task thrown their way.
  7. Instil a positive attitude in your child – You aren’t always going to have rosy days. You won’t always hear a yes. You need to prepare your child for this. They need to realise that it is impossible for every child to get the job they go for. Don’t let it affect their happiness or their attitude when they go for the next role. 
  8. Don’t part with cash – Of course you may need to pay to be on agency websites and alike – this is normal. But don’t pay for advice. Don’t pay for ‘guaranteed’ work. It doesn’t happen like this. These are scams. 
  9. Be punctual – A lot of people think having a child is a good enough excuse to be late. After all, the little one can’t drive, so it can’t affect their chances of being chosen right? Wrong. Punctuality is imperative and it is your job to be so. 
  10. Embrace it – This quest to success should be fun and exciting. Embrace it and enjoy it to the fullest.
