Toronto Acting Agency – Kids Acting Agency Toronto – Audition Tips For Parents

It can be difficult for parents to help children with auditions without knowledge of the industry or acting. Parents usually want their little talents to have fun but also book jobs so that they feel successful. The following tips may help to create this balance. 

Toronto Acting Agency – Kids Acting Agency Toronto – Audition Tips for Parents

1. Let Kids be Kids

Casting directors want actors who will be real and authentic. When they are looking to fill a role for a 10-year-old, they want an actor who behaves like a 10-year-old. While teaching your kids to behave and to be polite are great life lessons, casting directors want to see the kids be kids when in the casting room. 

2. Avoid Making Them Read Their Lines Too Much

Prioritize explaining the character to them. Once their imagination has created the life and personality of the character, you may then have them practice lines. 

3. Support Them To Love the Creation Process and Not Focus on Booking

You cannot guarantee whether they will book or not. As mentioned on our blog before, a lot of reasons may cause casting directors to choose someone else- age, ethnicity, eye color. It is all about the vision that they have for the character. Encourage your child to enjoy the process of creating and auditioning. 

4. Let Their Personality Show

Casting directors want to see child actors who are free and enjoying the work, not controlled actors. Let them shine.

5. Prepare Them With Acting Workshops

They need to be around other child actors to grow, create and be confident. Do not wait for an audition to train them as it may be too late then. You want them prepared when that comes along and that happens with consistent training. 

6. Agents, Managers, and Casting Directors

Trust the way that the industry works and respect the time of their agent/managers and the casting directors after an audition. While checking in with their agent regularly is encouraged, do not try to contact them persistently. Trust that they are putting in the time to find work for your child and will reach out as soon as they have updates.

#1. Walk on the sidewalks, not the roads.

While it may be tempting to be running back and forth across the roads to visit houses on both sides of the street, make sure your children are staying on the sidewalks.  While it is a special day, there are still people driving on the roads who may not see your children in time.  If you must cross the street, wait until you are at a street corner and be sure to look both ways!

#2. Have an adult present while trick-or-treating.

If your child is still under the age of 12, make sure you are going out with them or another adult you trust is. Young children need supervision especially at night when interacting with strangers.

#3. Keep the costumes safe.

Some ways to keep kids costumes safe include avoiding masks, keeping them light coloured if possible, and making sure the costumes fit to avoid trips or falls. Making kids carry a flashlight or other glow in the dark items is also a smart idea.

#4. Dress warm.

It is officially fall and the weather is getting cooler. Even though it may not necessarily go with the costume, make sure your child is layering up. Whether that is wearing a sweater on top of their costume or long sleeves under, make sure your kids are staying warm!

#5. For children: do not go into a strangers home.

Do not allow your children to enter a strangers home and if you are not with your child when trick-or-treating, make sure to teach them not to do so!

#6. Do not let your kids eat any candy before they get home.

Do not allow your children to consume any of their treats before you get home so you can properly inspect it and ensure they are safe. Also, instill that message into your kids who are trick-or-treating on their own so they stay safe as well.

#7. Put your childs name, address and phone number on their costumes.

In case you get separated from your child, it doesnt hurt to attach your information to them so whoever finds them can return them to you safely.

#8. Bring a cellphone with you.

As a parent you should always have a cellphone on you in case of an emergency. If you have a child trick-or-treating on their own, make sure they have one as well.

We hope everyone has a safe Halloween!
