Children's castings are just as difficult as adult ones. Let's figure out how to pass Kid Model Casting Call successfully. 

Create a portfolio

You need a portrait, a full body, and three-quarters of photos. They can be taken both in the studio and outside, but make sure that the focus is on the child’s face and figure.

Clothing should be simple and in neutral colors. Jeans with a T-shirt or a simple suit without accent details are the best.

Specify the child's age, height, parameters, eye and hair color, and shoe size.

Create comp cards and always bring them to the kid’s model casting call.

Sign up on the site with announcements about model casting calls

Create an account at kidscasting.com and check job ads. To simplify the search, use filters: specify the kid’s age, ethnicity, and location.

Go to various castings

This rule is a bit tricky. On the one hand, it is worth going to various castings to understand what the kid is good at and what he or she likes more. Maybe, your child is great at acting, or at posing for clothing catalogs. 

On the other hand, it is worth being selective and not visiting all the castings in a row. It can tire the child and discourage him or her from participating in auditions. Find the balance.

Develop the child's creative skills

Model castings require certain skills, and the more of them a child has, the higher the chances of success. Teach the kid to walk confidently, pose for the camera, and feel free in public. Encourage acting classes, stage speeches, sports, etc.

Develop kid’s communication skills

When modeling, a child will have to communicate with adults and other children. It is good if the child can freely communicate with people and understand the tasks. If we are talking about younger children, they need to be friendly, easy-going, etc.

The great parent’s task is to create a healthy atmosphere. Casting is an opportunity to learn new things, have fun, and develop a kid’s talent. Explain to the child that for you, he or she is the best in the world. Help the child feel confident and loved, refrain from criticism, and always be on your kid’s side.
