#TipTuesday<\/strong>\u00a0is a series\u00a0MAX Agency<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 one of the top Toronto talent agencies\u00a0 \u2014 does\u00a0every\u00a0week where we share helpful tips for the industry. This could be tips on\u00a0auditions, bookings, beauty, fashion\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0more<\/em>!<\/span><\/p>\n

For any role, there can be up to hundreds of other talents auditioning.\u00a0 For children, its important to offer key support.<\/span><\/p>\n

What a special opportunity they\u2019ve been given! It\u2019s your responsibility to show them how fun the whole process can be, by remaining calm and up-beat no matter what happens.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how you can help them prepare\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Provide encouragement and positivity.<\/strong>\u00a0Though your child will be excited when their agent calls with the good news, most actors will struggle with some degree of \u201cnerves\u201d as the big day approaches. You want to address any feelings of self-doubt by reminding them how far in the casting process they\u2019ve already come.\u00a0Now, the first big priority for you two will be to make sure your child is \u201coff-book\u201d. For a few pointers on how to help your little one memorize their lines, please see\u00a0my video on memorizing lines quickly and thoroughly<\/a>. The more thoroughly your child has absorbed the copy, the more they\u2019ll be free to relax and just have fun in front of the camera. That\u2019s gold to the casting director! After they\u2019ve got their lines down, it\u2019s time to do some research into the project: If it\u2019s a commercial, go online to find out more about the product and the ad campaign. If it\u2019s a TV show, watch a couple episodes to understand the style of acting it requires. For a film, try to watch more of the director\u2019s work. Help your child bring whatever ideas their research gives them to their performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Do a little brush-up on\u00a0audition etiquette<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and watch \u201cHow to slate with confidence.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Parents, prepare\u00a0yourself<\/em><\/strong>! Your preparation here is as important as your child\u2019s. The entire day of the audition needs to be\u00a0planned out from A to Z<\/a>, to lessen the stress for both of you. The night before, take the time to look up the location (even if you have a GPS!) to find out how much time you\u2019ll need to get there. Launder and iron the outfit they\u2019ll be wearing if necessary, and check that their headshots and\u00a0resumes<\/a>\u00a0are printed, stapled, and ready to go! And always keep headshots in the car!<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Essential Needs for an audition (What to Bring):<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure that they arrive at the audition well-fed and well-rested, with all the materials they\u2019ll need in hand: sides, headshot\/ resume, and maybe some homework to do while they wait. Pack some healthy snacks just in case the wait runs long. And don\u2019t forget to give them a little pep-talk before they go in! Let your child know how talented and special they are, and that there\u2019s no need to compare themselves to anyone else. All they need to do is relax, listen, have a good time, and just be themselves. They\u2019ll do great!<\/span><\/p>\n
