Understanding Your Child’s Desire; The first step is understanding what your child really wants. Sometimes kids are curious, sometimes they’re passionate—and sometimes it’s both! Here are a few questions you can ask:
“What do you like about the idea of acting/being on stage or on camera?”
“Would you like to try acting classes?”
“Would you like to audition for a play or musical?”
-Getting them involved in community theatre or acting classes (in-person or virtual) is a great way to see if they ACTUALLY enjoy being in the spotlight, or if they just liked the IDEA of it. It’s also something they will have to do regularly as part of their acting journey.
&& if they are too young to talk: “Why are you so dang CUTE?!”
Ask yourself…
-What about them have you observed that may indicate they may have a natural talent for acting?
-Am I prepared to put in many many hours to help them navigate this industry in a SAFE and SANE manner?
-Are they in a good spot emotionally/mentally to be on the receiving end of a lot of rejection? If no, how can I help nurture their emotional resiliency so that this doesn’t completely f**k them up??*
**Side note: it’s OKAY if you do not know these answers yet or if you’re thinking, “oh man, I don’t even know if I can handle my kid being told, “no” over and over again… Stick with me and I’ll help you learn how to turn failure into a bigger and even better YES.
What is your biggest concern for your child possibly becoming an actor?

Went from knowing nothing about acting to guiding my child to an HBO role. Now I help parents start smart—with zero BS.
