Blogging about my personal experience with my own child....

There are so many opportunities here locally, however, if you really make an impression on these agencies, you will often be referred to auditions in Los Angeles.

This is where I fell short with my daughter because they would call you at 6pm at night and say be here tomorrow morning.  So without notice, I would be packing the car and running to LA all day for auditions.

This can usually only work if you are a stay at home mom or self employed.  Then to make things harder on the endeavor, if you get a call back, you could drive home and wait a day and get called back for the next day.  They just don't tell you anything or give you any notice usually.

I like to always deliver the good with the bad, so please keep that in mind.  If you are really serious about your child breaking into show business, you have to look at the commitment it will take.  You will make a financial commitment to training, photo costs, voice tapes and travel.  Then, there is the schedule commitment.  Home school might be a requirement as well because usually schools will not put up with students missing school regularly.

I actually gave up on the idea of traveling for my own child's auditions.  I just could not do it.  I was a self employed real estate agent, but I would have to cancel appointments and move things around so much I was going broke.

Just read the story of Britney Spears mom.  She quit her job, packed up her child and moved across the Country.  Can you do it?  If not, you might just stick to small local jobs for your kids and an occasional big opportunity that hundreds will be fighting for.

If it is a dream though, never quit, never give up.  You can do it!

Acting Classes Near Me For Kids

This is going to be more geared toward locals, however, I will do my best to list some resources for those that may be visiting from out of state

• As promised, if you are not in our local area, here are some resources to help search near you:  Stagemilk acting resources, Hollywood talent manager presents this YouTube video to show you how to find great acting classes in your area, NYFA multiple location camps, SAG AFTRA online workshops.
  

• Triple threat program - This is a program in which a child can become a fully rounded success in the industry. The program is designed to create a performer that can act, sing and dance. These children acting classes can be taken from two and a half years old to teens and up to 19 years old. Why is this important? because if a child can only act, they are less likely to be cast for a play or show. Casting directors are looking for versatility and if your child can shine on stage in multiple settings, then they will be more likely to be chosen and remembered for current and upcoming projects. They will build skills and with skills comes confidence and with confidence comes self esteem.  We can all agree that self esteem is an incredible value in todays society along with the ability to succeed at something they love.

• Clark County School District and Community Centers - Drama Kids International is a company that works with CCSD for our public schools and charter schools as well as community centers and other locations offering affordable kids acting.  For example  ACT UP ! to stop bullying and various holiday and summer camps.  They are a member of the After School Alliance and the Educational Theater Association.  Classes are offered in the Northwest, Southwest and Summerlin and range in age from preschool to teen actors.  Visit here to check out courses and see what schools and areas of interest these are available. Children acting classes available are preschool, kinder, lower primary, composite and upper primary.

• Sprouts, Play production, I Movie making and so much more.... - This place has it all!  Sprouts teaches basic stage terminology, etiquette, following directions, self esteem, focus and teamwork. These classes are FUN and adventurous with characters such as pirates, superheroes, villains and dragons.  Kids learn to write scripts and change costumes.
