Why do you want her to be a star? if she is a kid, let her be a kid! If she is an adult, let her make her own choices. Why can't your daughter be good enough as she is?
Reply:This is my "been there, done that" and "been there, should have done that" list for anyone who wants to be in the performing arts.





For the Performer:


* Memorize at least three good monologues, ones you like and ones that aren't from famous plays or movies.





* Never, ever, ever audition with a song from Les Miz, Phantom, Rent, Chicago, or Cats. People who cast shows are sick of well-known songs and will reject you right away.





* Take voice lessons or at least sing in the school choir.





* Monologues: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksea...





* Songs... Are a little harder to find. Ask your choir director or voice teacher for suggestions, as they know your range better than I do.





* Take dancing lessons, or at least practice a lot when you're in a play. On a related note, buy a pair of Character Shoes: http://www.discountdance.com/frame_set.p... Yes, it must be closed toe and it must have an ankle strap. You'll understand why those are important when you note that they don't fall off your feet. :)





* Take every role you're cast in during High School, even if it's "just" the Chorus. You'll learn.





* Be a Stage Manager, at least once.





* Learn everything you can about Lighting and Set Design. That way, even if you don't get a part, you can learn by watching the other actors and learn a valuable skill you may very well learn to love more than acting. There is more demand for Lighting Techs than there is for Actors, after all!





* "Acting Schools" are often overrated and overpriced. If you want the best that Michigan has to offer, go to Alma College. The faculty there is top-notch and class sizes are small enough so that you'll be able to get involved easily.





* No matter where you go, audition for a scholarship to help defray your tuition bill.





* Start a savings account now. Put at least $20 into it from every pay check. Do NOT dip into it for anything that is not an emergency. Spring Break is not an emergency.





* Double major in something that will help you pay your bills. You should not have to rely on acting to feed yourself. It doesn't work.





* Get a job waiting tables while you're still in high school, so you'll be an experienced server in college and after. It's the easiest way to make a decent bit of money in the mornings while you're not in rehearsals. You'll get the most tips on Sunday morning, so don't pass up working Sunday morning so you can stay out late Saturday night.





Most importantly:


You cannot afford to have an ego. Actresses are as common as oxygen. Do not think you are talented. You are a beginner. Talent is merely a matter of hard work and a willingness to let go of your pride and let yourself relax on stage and be in the moment.





Tips for Mom:


* When you take your daughter to an audition, sit in the back and be quietly supportive. "Hi, I'm %26lt;Name%26gt;'s Mom, %26lt;Your Name%26gt;" should be all you need to say, unless the director has questions. Mom talking too much at Auditions almost always makes a bad impression.





* If your daughter wants to audition without you, let her--though this probably won't happen. Yeah, it's hard, but she'll do a better job if she feels more relaxed.





* Don't be upset if she doesn't get a lead role with the first company she works with. A lot of times they cast new people in small roles or a chorus just to see if that person is reliable.





* Don't be upset if she gets small roles. It's vital to have good people in small roles, and some of the most memorable performances of all time are by "Character Actors" who have small parts. Think about Tuptim in "The King and I." It's a small but marvelous role. And the murderesses in "Chicago."





* If you need to drive her places, *never* be late. Be 10 minutes early.





* Volunteer to help with costuming, set design at Auditions for Community Theater, especially if you're going to be driving her. Make the offer to the High School director and to the Community group (again) when she's cast. You're already driving there, you might as well have fun and your being useful makes your daughter a more useful person to have around.





* If you help with costuming, don't just work on your daughter's stuff. Helping more people makes you more useful, and thus your daughter is more useful.





* If she wants to pursue the performance arts in college, start assisting her with college applications the fall before she goes, and auditions for scholarships are typically around February.
Reply:usually in newspapers and magazines there are ads of directors and producers looking for an actress. make sure your daughter wants to be a star though, because she won't have fun at all if it's not what she really wants to do.


there are also lots of agents out there. try and start with something small, such as being on a commercial. then she will gradually grow into the environment of being famous.
Reply:Sounds like you're the daughter posing as an adult. Unlikely that an adult would ask such a question or spell like that.
Reply:well if you live inn illinois like me you might listen to kiss fm also known as 103.5 FM thats a radio station and well sometimes you might hear that comercial about if you want to be famous and things like that. they usually give you the information were theyr going to be next if i hear this comercial once again dont worry i will give you the information ..this place is very god they give you a test to see how god you are..
