Have you ever wondered what your baby is thinking?

Babies have the gift of curiosity and thirst for knowledge. What if you were able to understand what your baby was thinking about, and provide an enriching interaction based on that knowledge? The Baby Signs® Program allows you to do just that!



Babies can learn and use simple hand gestures, or sign language, to communicate what they need, what they want or what they see as young as 5 months old. Imagine if your 6 month old told you she wanted to nurse without crying, or your 11 month old told you he saw a dog across the street without grunting, or your 14 month told you the side walk was too hot for her bare feet without screaming!

This basic ability to communicate before they can talk, gives babies a great boost to their self esteem, helps parents and caregivers appreciate the intelligence of their babies, and can dramatically reduce the frustration that parents and babies experience when communication is difficult. The founders of the Baby Signs® Program, Dr. Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn, have completed intensive Research that demonstrates using signs with pre-verbal babies helps them learn to talk and gives them a jumpstart to their intellectual development in addition to other Benefits.

Why not give your baby the gift of communication?
Not sure how to get started?
Baby Signs® Program offers parent workshops and play classes through Independent Certified Instructors across the country. These fun and interactive classes teach you everything you need to know to start signing with your baby, and give you the benefit of one-on-one consultation with an experienced instructor.

Visit www.babysigns.com to find a certified instructor near you.

Audition Tips for Children

1. Encourage your child to be themselves. If your baby model, child model, teen model or child actor is the best "them" they can be.. you are ahead of the game and will enjoy the whole process as much as the rewards.
2. Some children may be shy and need encouragement. Start gently, keep it fun and do not keep pushing if your child resists.
3. Let the casting directors and children’s agents do their jobs. They do this full time and they want your child to be great.
4. If the audition has lines or takes place in a specific scene, Work with your child in the waiting room only, do not coach them in the audition room. Keep it fun and light.
5. Show up to audition casting calls on time or early if possible. That way you can both relax before the audition. Be professional.
6. Parents should be supportive and protective. Your child will not get many of the parts they try out for. Only one child gets each part. It is important for you and your child to learn to deal with rejection. There will always be another audition. Keep it fun and light.
7. Don’t take rejection personally. Maybe today they wanted a redhead. Or perhaps they decided on a three year old and not a two year old. Just because you didn't book this job, does not mean you did anything wrong.
8. Be professional and courteous -to everyone- from the security guard at the front gate of the studio to the receptionist to the casting director, and everyone in the audition room.
9. Teach your child to listen and be open to direction.
10. No chit chat. They don’t want to hear about the traffic, or how your day is going. Put yourself in their position. They will meet 15-50 children and parents auditioning in one day. Would you want to hear 50 excuses on why you were late?
11. Casting directors remember nice children and nice parents.
12. However successful children become, remember they are still children.
13. Support and encourage, but don’t push.
14. Set up short term goals to promote their sense of accomplishment and self-worth.
15. Maintain balance in their lives through quality family time.
16. Never treat professional children as superior to their brothers and sisters or peers.
17. Guard against children becoming either too egotistical or too insecure as a result of their career.

Helpful Insider Information
Kids Agent Tips

www.commercialkids.com/ck/helpful_tips.cfm

1. Write a short cover letter telling them about you. Be creative and professional in your mailing approach. If they want you– don’t make them hunt for your contact info. Include your contact number on everything! Be Polite. Don’t call again and again. They got your package. If they like your type or need your type, they will call you. If not now, they might need your type next month.
2. The more mailings you send out the better your chances. Kids talent agents come and go frequently and kids casting agents work on various projects. You need to keep your name, and photo out there and often. The more you are out there, the better your odds of booking jobs.
3. Always use a legitimate licensed kids talent agency. Get the up-to-date kids talent agent list at commercialkids.com if you are planning on doing acting, modeling, singing or dance professionally, these are the only talent agents you should ever use. If they are not on our lists, they are NOT LEGITIMATE and NOT LICENSED.
4. Do your homework. Millions of people are trying to break into showbiz. Be professional and stay ahead. You need to know who the executives are that are currently working on a project. All of our listings consist of currently working professionals. If they are not currently working, they are not listed. Just another way we save you time and money.
5. Study, practice and, then, study more. Take classes, and, then, take more classes. When you get that audition for that dream role, you will need the talent to back it up. Never stop learning and improving.
6. Don’t be afraid to start small. If you are planning on becoming a star and make your living as actor or model: learn your craft by taking smaller roles, doing plays, print work (fashion & commercial), and commercials. All are great things that will give you experience, skills, and credits and pay great money.
7. Be a big fish in a small pond. You don’t have to be in L. A. or N. Y. to be successful. Get a local licensed kid talent agency from our list and build experience locally before hitting N. Y. or L. A.
8. Do commercials. They teach you how to audition, work with kids agents, negotiate, act, work on a set, build your resume and bring income. One national commercial can pay you over $100,000 over two years. If you or your children are really serious get our Lights, Camera, Kid’s video and learn from industry professionals.

TARGETING KIDS AGENTS

* Determine what your interests and needs are and use our kids agents lists and preprinted casting director mailing labels to reach those specific casting agents, talent agents, modeling agents, music agents and dance agents.
* Reach out only to licensed legitimate agents. If they are not on our lists, chances are they will charge you fees and steal your money.

GET INVOLVED

* Take classes. Read books and listen to CD’s. These materials will give you an advantage over the competition.

RESUMES

* Children and babies are not expected to have a resume. However if you have taken classes or have done jobs, let the Casting Directors and Talent Agents on our lists know.
* All resumes are not created equal. Tailor your resume to the specific area of representation in which you are interested (i.e. If you are looking for a commercial agent, list your commercial credits first).
* Always keep your resume current, and remember to include a contact telephone number.
* Voice talent: An audio demo tape should generally not exceed 3 minutes. The purpose of the tape is to display your style, quality and range.

INTERVIEW YOUR KIDS AGENT

* Make the most of the situation. Ask questions. Be polite, but ask questions. The interview process works both ways.
* Remember, your agent works for you and you work for your agent. The ideal relationship will be satisfying and beneficial for both parties.

CHILDRENS HEAD SHOTS AND KIDS MODELING PORTFOLIOS

* Don’t spend money on modeling portfolios or head shots when you are just starting out. Especially with babies and young children. They change too quickly and you will waste your money. Get a nice snapshot and send that out. When you start booking lots of jobs, then make that investment.

Have FUN & BREAK A LEG!
