How can I get my child into tv commercials?

Answer by  thelostone (1457)

If you live in a bigger city you should start with getting professional photos taken of your child in several outfits and taking this portfolio and trying to find an agent. That is the way to start off without getting lucky and being discovered.

It is best to look online first, at local talent agencies in your area. You would likely have to buy some sort of headshot photos of your child to leave with particular agents. Along with a short resume,that includes your child's talents and positive television traits.

The best way to do this is to find an agency to sign with that will help you find work for your child. You can also keep a lookout on Craigslist and in the newspaper for open call auditions in your area. It would be best to have professional photos taken that you can submit for review to different agencies.

There is no cheap way to do this really. You need to get some professional photos called headshots taken of your child, and also find a good agent for him or her. Agents usually demand a fee upfront to have your child on their books and will take a percentage of your child's pay.
