Does anyone know some websites for kids auditions i really want to get my child into acting.?

Answer 1

Ditto 'Blekh'... your child should want it more than you do. Beware of all the scams out there. Don't pay anyone scads of money because they tell you what you want to hear and all they say you have to do is pay them all this money to take their humongously expensive classes and they guarantee that you'll get an agent, work, etc... No one can guarantee you these things.

Depending on how old your child is, he/she should take acting classes. You shold also get them involved in theatre, student film productions, indie films, etc.

If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.)

Then you can send them your headshot (snapshots are fine for kids), resume (if they have one), and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview.

Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. You can also see if your state has a film alliance. Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre, you can go to backstage.com or http://www.actorsequity.org/castingcall/... If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying.

Another 'in' for kids is extra work. If you're in Los Angeles, check out kidsmanagement.com You do have to pay a fee to sign up with them initially, but it is legitimate and kids work on shows through them all the time, but it is background work. Not principal work. The benefit is that you and your child will get to see how things really work on a tv or film set. My advice here is to keep your mouth shut while you watch and learn. There's a lot that new people don't know and you risk looking really dumb by opening your mouth too soon.

Remember the most important thing is to listen to your child. If he/she says they don't want to do it anymore you have to listen. You have to take your child's side and be their advocate, because if not you then who? You and the set teacher are the only ones on set who are supposed to be there for your child, so listen to your child. Even if you have to cancel an audition, etc. because he/she's having a bad day... oh well. Just take the consequences and let your kid have the bad day.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Take the child to a legitimate modeling agency. As for acting, most successful actors just started out in school plays.

Answer 3

You need to remember, your child comes first. Does he/she WANT to get into acting??? well, the best thing is to google it. you should say something like "Kid auditions for acting in _______'' and say where you live. not your address, but your state or city.

Answer 4

You will NOT find legitimate websites for auditions with kids. Legitimate Talent Agents cannot have websites.

You did not indicate in which USA city yu live, so someone can give you recommendations. (always include your city)

Answer 5

Go get a copy of the Ross Reports, it's a complete listing of legit agencies and films accepting mail ins right now.

Please remember that anyone that wants you to pay them up front or asks you for money of any kind is a scam.

Answer 6

I hope your child wants it as well.

And... all I can think to do is Google it.
