What does an agent really want from a parent? What makes a child stand out for the right reasons - and what can accidentally get in the way?

In this honest and practical seminar, agent Bonnie Lia, joined by special guest Michelle Kirby, lifts the lid on the realities of working in the children’s talent industry, sharing insider advice on how parents can best support their child’s career while navigating auditions, castings, bookings, agents and clients.

From submitting the right photos and being prepared for castings, to managing expectations, communication and professionalism, Bonnie and Michelle will reveal the little things that can make a big difference.

The session will cover:

• What agents look for in a great client and a supportive parent
• How to make your child’s profile and submissions work harder
• Casting etiquette - before, during and after an audition
• How to communicate effectively with your agent
• What not to do (and the common mistakes agents see time and time again!)
• Managing rejection, expectations and the ups and downs of the industry
• How to support your child without putting pressure on them
• Building a positive, professional reputation within the industry
• With plenty of opportunity for questions, this is a candid, no-nonsense conversation designed to give parents a clearer understanding of the industry and the confidence to help their child navigate it successfully.

Come prepared to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask an agent!
