Practice auditions at home to help your toddler get the job.
You know you have a cute child, which is why you're determined to get your child into modeling or acting. Good looks will only carry your child so far in the competitive industry. Your child also needs to have an outgoing personality and behave well on set and on auditions.
Find a Good Agency
Choose a reputable agency for your toddler. If an agency is requiring you to take expensive modeling or acting classes, find a new agency. Although your child may need a headshot, a good agency won't require you to spend a lot of money for expensive photo shoots. Talk to other parents in the industry and read online forums to help determine which agencies in your area are legitimate and respected in the industry.
Practice at Home
When your toddler is being interviewed for an audition, the casting agent will want to see the personality of your child. The casting agent might ask your child about hobbies, pets or family. Practice these types of questions with your child prior to auditions. Your toddler will have a more articulate answer if she has had practice.
Keep your Cool
Casting agents want to work with easygoing parents. When you're on auditions, encourage your children, but don't be overbearing or abrasive. Casting agents are watching parents' interactions with their children as well as interviewing the child. Remain polite and smile to demonstrate your relaxed nature.
Limit Makeup Use
Casting agents want to see a more natural look on children. You can always put on blush or a dab of lip gloss, but never cake on the makeup. Beauty pageants can be an exception to the rule, but for acting and modeling roles limit what you add to your child's natural look.
Have Fun
Encouraging your child to act or model should be fun for the both of you. Your child may not want to continue when it becomes a chore. Before your child auditions for a part, remind your toddler to relax and have fun. Don't punish your child for making a mistake. Remove the stress from auditions and your child will get more roles by letting her personality shine.
Choose Ageappropriate Clothes
Never dress your toddler in clothes that aren't age appropriate. Dress your child in conservative and stylish clothing. Avoid dressing your child in high heels, short skirts or clothing that shows your child's midriff. Toddlers should be dressed cute, not sassy.
Choose Age-appropriate Material
If your child is asked to prepare a song or a monologue, choose something fit for a child. A favorite nursery rhyme or favorite children's song will do the trick. Having your child sing a song with an adult theme is inappropriate for child auditions.
