Most good actors have spent years in college honing their skills. You can always ask around on the best schools your kid should attend.

Try and get an excellent headshot. As a rule, always try and avoid anything flashy or sophisticated. Producers are looking for a plain, professional headshot. A headshot can be the difference between the teen landing a leading role or not; so you want it to be the very best.

With scam artist out to defraud unsuspecting teenagers and parents, you can not afford to be too careful. Generally, they pose as potential agents or producers. Once they've gained your trust, they can either use the information you've given them for other fraudulent activities or they may try to solicit for money from you.

You have to make sure that your teen has a professional curriculum vitae. The CV should be detailed, simple and easy on the eye. Try and avoid unnecessary fonts and flashy colors; they really are not that important. The resume will basically detail what your kid has done in the acting arena.

If your child gets a role in a play or a chance to audition, take it upon yourself to help them through it. Practice and lots of encouragement from home can really help teens be good at whatever they are doing. Remember, your kid is looking up to you, motivating them to keep on can have a positive impact on their performance.

Most probably your kid will not land every role they audition for. Try and encourage them when they fail. Let them understand that even if they didn't make it today, there is always a next time.

Try and network with friends on places to land auditions and acting roles. You could talk to teachers, other parents or community leaders such as priests or sheiks. The idea basically is to look for roles that your kids can get experience from.

Online submission websites can also offer very high value opportunities. Though most of the roles you'll get from such sources may not pay very well, they serve best to improve your kids CV and are a good learning ground. With these few tips on acting Auditions for teenagers, you should be able to help your kid become successful in this field.
