Professional Kids & Teens 101; A Primer For Parents
The World of a Child Actor
Is your child ready?
Are you ready?
- He’s smart, funny, and photogenic.
- She’s taken voice lessons and dance lessons for years.
- Friends and family, even strangers, say my child is “beautiful, dramatic, outspoken, self-confident, cute, talented.”
- My child says, “I want to be like…(fill in any child or teen TV actor), how can I be on tv?”
The truth of the matter is that many children ARE perfect for show business – Print, Commercials, Television, Film, Stage – wherever they’re comfortable. I will show you how to acquire professional child talent representation. They can be the boy-next-door or the gawky-girl-with-braces, they can be the beautiful dancer with a heart of gold or the sport-oriented young boy in the schoolyard. Just about any child with the right attitude, skills, and training can be marketable in the entertainment or advertising world. The basic methods used to enter the world of child acting have not changed in years. It is industry-driven by insiders and first impressions.
The power of the Internet has brought new capabilities and energy to the process, but the decision-makers have not changed. Nor have the requirements to function successfully in their world. And, as always, there are those who would manipulate an eager participant only to take their money and their hopes in a scam or dishonest venture.
Education is the key to success. The Professional Kids 101 Seminar is designed to answer basic questions about the process of participation in the child-performance world. You may walk away confident in knowing that this is where your child belongs. Or you may leave with the knowledge that he or she – or you – are simply not ready to take the plunge!.

“If you are reading this, either as a parent of a talented child or are considering a life in the arts yourself, you’ve stumbled upon THE best resource and door into succeeding in this industry. Endeavoring into the arts as a professional is one of the hardest industries to break into and the rejection and confusion of how the industry operates can be crushing. I’ve witnessed first hand the lives Leesa and LBC Talent have changed over the years: not just helping various children, teens, and adults land roles and launch careers in the performing arts, but gifting them with direction, purpose, and newfound confidence in who they are as human beings and that their wildest dreams are indeed possible.”

Many children begin in this industry with no formal training. However, at some point training will become essential.

There is no specific answer to that question. However there are more opportunities the earlier you begin.

I am extremely sensitive to financial constraints. The Seminar offers specifics about money matters and gives you the tools necessary to create a plan that works for you.
