Demystifying the "Perfect" Audition: Why Authenticity Wins (Featuring Stranger Things Kids' Auditions)

It Wasn't Perfect, It Was Real

Consider the story of Finn Wolfhard, best known as Mike from Stranger Things. He didn't book the role with a polished studio tape; he recorded his audition from bed while sick. It was grainy, imperfect, and technically "bad" quality. Yet, it captured exactly what Netflix needed: a real kid, not a polished performer.

An exception to the “rule”: Finn Wolfhard filmed his original audition tape from his bed because he was super sick. While we don’t recommend this for your self tape, he was able to deliver exactly what Netflix needed. Casting call him in for more auditions that booked him the role on Stranger Things.

The Shift: Stage vs. Screen

Transitioning from theater to camera requires a massive shift in technique. On stage, you project to the back row, using large gestures and booming vocals. On screen, the camera captures every micro-expression. What works in a school play often looks exaggerated on film, which is why understanding this difference is vital for success.

Studio vs. Home Tapes

You do not need an expensive studio setup to succeed in TV & movie auditions for kids NYC. While good lighting helps, it never outweighs an authentic performance. Casting directors want to see the child, not the production value. A simple, well-lit corner of your home with a basic backdrop allows your child's natural personality to shine through without distraction.

This is a well lit self tape frame for musical auditions or a TV / Film audition that requires more physicality.

Great framing for a focused and intimate on-camera scene.

Don't Guess—Train

While natural talent is the spark, technical skill is the fuel. Your child likely has that "Stranger Things" factor, but they need the tools to capture it effectively. We focus on bridging the gap between raw personality and professional execution, ensuring that technical missteps never get in the way of a great performance.

Ultimately, the goal is not to be perfect, but to be undeniable. At Broadway Kids Auditions, we empower young actors with the specific child actor self-tape tips and techniques needed to translate their stage energy into subtle, camera-ready performances. Ready to turn that self-tape into a callback? Join our upcoming On-Camera Workshop for Kids.

Your Child’s First Broadway Headshot: What Parents Need to Know (and What to Ignore)

Navigating the world of professional theatre can feel like a whirlwind, especially when it is time to secure your child’s first set of professional headshots. At Broadway Kids Auditions, we know that these photos are the most critical tool in a young performer's toolkit. It is the very first thing a casting director sees before deciding to offer an audition. Our goal is to ensure your child’s headshot works as a powerful calling card, accurately representing who they are today while helping them pop in a crowded database.

Prioritizing Authenticity Over Glamour

We always emphasize that a headshot must look exactly like your child does when they walk into the room. Casting directors are not looking for a stylized, "glamour" shot; they want to see a real kid with a vibrant personality. We suggest keeping clothing simple and the background clean to ensure their eyes and energy are the primary focus.

Navigating the Braces Phase

When your child has braces, we recommend getting a variety of looks, specifically including non-smiling or closed-mouth shots. This is particularly vital if the braces are scheduled to come off soon, as it provides a glimpse of their future look. Since theatrical casting is often flexible, having these options ensures your child remains competitive throughout their orthodontic journey.

Managing Your Investment Wisely

While high-quality photography is essential, we advise parents to be mindful of their budget. As a general rule, we suggest you do not spend more than $800 on a theatrical headshot session for a child. Because kids grow and change so rapidly, these photos will need frequent updates, making it important to find a balance between professional quality and sustainable cost.

Creating a Standout Calling Card

Ultimately, your child’s headshot is their primary asset for securing auditions. We want their photo to capture that elusive "spark" that makes a casting director pause. When the image is clear, professional, and full of life, it serves as an invitation for the industry to see your child’s talent in person, giving them the best possible start.

At Broadway Kids Auditions, we are dedicated to helping young performers find their light and navigate the industry with confidence. Whether you are preparing for your first open call or looking to refresh your portfolio, we offer the coaching and resources necessary to help your family succeed. For more professional tips on starting your journey, we invite you to explore our upcoming workshops or contact our team to discuss how Broadway Kids Auditions can support your child's dreams today.

The Ultimate Guide to Crafting a Kids Audition Resume in NYC

Navigating the competitive theater scene in New York City requires more than just talent; it requires a professional presentation that respects a casting director's time. One of the most vital tools in your young performer's arsenal is a clean, concise resume. We understand that formatting this document can feel daunting, but following industry standards is essential for success.

Keep the Contact Information Professional and Secure

Privacy and accessibility are our top priorities when organizing a young actor's contact section. You should never include a home address on the document for safety reasons. Instead, clearly list the parent’s name, a reliable parent email address, and a primary phone number. This ensures that casting offices can reach you immediately regarding callbacks or bookings.

Essential Personal Stats and Age Requirements

In the NYC market, specific details help casting directors place your child in the right roles. For any performer under eighteen, the date of birth is a mandatory requirement on the resume. We also recommend including current height, weight, and eye color. These "stats" allow creative teams to visualize how your child fits within the specific ensemble or family dynamic.

Focus on Credits Rather Than Mission Statements

A professional resume should be straightforward and factual without unnecessary fluff. We advise parents to skip "mission statements" or "objective" sections entirely, as they take up valuable space. Avoid overselling your child's abilities with flowery language; let the list of productions and roles speak for themselves. A clean, column-based layout for past credits is always the preferred industry standard.

Highlighting Special Skills and Training

The final section of the resume is the perfect place to showcase what makes your child unique. Include specific vocal ranges, dance styles, and any unique hobbies like gymnastics or playing an instrument. We suggest listing formal training programs and coaches to demonstrate your commitment to the craft. Authenticity here is key, as casting directors may ask for a demonstration.

Building a professional presence starts with a resume that reflects your child’s dedication and talent while adhering to the strict standards of the NYC industry. By focusing on clear contact details, essential stats, and honest credits, you provide casting teams with exactly what they need to move forward.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health During Audition Seasons

Audition season is exciting, but it can also be a pressure cooker for young performers. The highs of callbacks and the lows of rejection take an emotional toll. At Broadway Kids Auditions (BKA), we believe performer well-being comes first. We don't just train voices; we nurture resilient minds ready to handle the industry's realities with genuine confidence.

Here is how to understand what your child is going through and practical tools to help them thrive.

Understanding the Biology of Nerves

First, it is helpful to normalize what your child is feeling. Anxiety isn't just "in their head"—it is a physiological response. When a young performer gets nervous, their sympathetic nervous system activates (the "fight or flight" response), leading to a racing heart, shallow breathing, or difficulty concentrating.

We teach students that these sensations aren't a sign of failure; they are simply the body preparing for a challenge. By recognizing these biological cues without judgment, we can address them directly rather than letting them spiral into panic.

The Unique Pressure of Auditions vs. Performances

You might notice your child is fine during a school play but freezes in an audition room. This is common. Auditions trigger "future-oriented thinking"—worrying about the implications of not getting the role ("If I don't get this, I'm not good enough").

While a performance is about being in the moment, an audition often feels like a judgment on their future. We help students combat this by grounding them in the present moment, reminding them that the stakes of one audition do not define their long-term potential.

Navigating the "Grades vs. Art" Transition

Adolescents, particularly those around middle school age, often struggle with the transition from academic grading to artistic subjectivity. In school, if you study hard, you get an A. In the arts, you can work incredibly hard and still not get the part due to factors outside your control (height, voice part, casting needs).

This shift can be jarring. We work with students to separate their work ethic from the outcome, ensuring they understand that subjective casting decisions are not an objective grade on their talent.

Practical Tools for the Toolkit

At BKA, we integrate evidence-based psychological frameworks (such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy concepts) into our artistic training. Here are a few techniques we use to build resilience:

• Name the Anxiety: We encourage students to give their anxiety a name or a silly persona. This technique, known as externalization or diffusion, helps them realize that they are not the anxiety; the anxiety is just a temporary visitor. It allows them to separate their identity from the emotion.

• Breathwork & Bodywork: Since anxiety is physical, the solution must be physical, too. We utilize tools like "box breathing" (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4) and finger breathing to calm the nervous system. We also use "power posing" to help students physically inhabit a space of confidence before they even open their mouths.

• Focus on Technique: When fear sets in, the brain can scatter. We provide students with specific performance cues—focusing on a specific technical element or the meaning of a line—to give their brain a constructive job to do, steering it away from fear.

A child’s value is never determined by a callback list. Our workshops emphasize that a "no" is rarely personal; it’s just part of the business. We nurture the whole child, ensuring they feel valued and extraordinary both inside and outside the audition room.

Finally, anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared. BKA’s rigorous private coaching ensures students walk into rooms knowing their material inside and out. When they trust their technical training, there is less room for debilitating self-doubt to creep in during high-stakes moments.

Supporting your child’s mental health is the most important aspect of their long-term success. If you want coaching that prioritizes resilience alongside technique, connect with the BKA team today. Let’s help them thrive on stage and off.

Introducing the BKA Talent Database for Young Performers

From Rehearsal to the Big Stage: Our NYC Performance Weekends

For young performers, finding opportunities that bridge the gap between training and real-world experience is essential. Many families involved in NYC kids auditions seek a path to build confidence and skills in a professional setting. That’s precisely why we created our NYC Performance Weekends—an immersive experience designed to elevate talent and showcase it on a professional stage.

Train with True Broadway Professionals

Our program provides unparalleled access to top-tier training. Performers work directly with Broadway professionals and our elite BKA coaches. These sessions aren't just about running lines; they are intensive workshops focused on advanced movement, vocal technique, and industry-specific insights that give young actors a competitive edge in their next audition.

Develop Your Unique Performance Piece

We believe in personalized development. Each performer receives a new solo song, duet, or monologue perfectly suited to their strengths. They rehearse their piece with a live accompanist and a dedicated director, ensuring they are prepared and confident. This material is supported by custom learning tracks and marked sheet music to guide their practice.

Personalized Virtual Coaching Included

Preparation doesn't just happen in the city. To ensure every performer feels ready, our Performance Weekends include two 30-minute virtual coaching sessions. One session is dedicated to the music and one to the coaching, allowing for focused, one-on-one feedback and refinement before the big weekend even begins.

Shine on a Professional NYC Stage

The culmination of this hard work is the performance itself. Our students perform their pieces in a curated concert on a professional NYC stage. We capture the moment with professional event photos and provide a video recording of the entire live-streamed performance, creating a valuable asset for their reel.

These weekends offer more than just a performance; they build confidence, skills, and industry connections. At Broadway Kids Auditions, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive training that prepares students for the realities of the business.

On Camera Workshops

Mastering the Close-Up: NYC On-Camera Audition Coaching

In today's digital age, a significant portion of auditions have moved from the stage to the screen. For young actors, mastering the nuances of an on-camera audition is a critical skill. It’s a different medium than the stage, requiring a unique set of techniques to truly connect with casting directors through the lens. At Broadway Kids Auditions, our NYC on-camera audition coaching is designed to equip your child with the confidence and skills needed to shine in their next self-tape or in-person camera audition. Our specialized coaching helps young performers understand the technical and artistic demands of acting for the camera. Watch our recent reel on The 3-Second Rule: How to Hook Casting Directors Fast.

Understanding the Frame

On camera, less is often more. Unlike the stage, where gestures need to be larger to reach the back row, the camera picks up the smallest of movements. Our NYC kids coaches teach students how to use stillness and subtle expressions to convey a wide range of emotions. They learn to control their physicality and use their eyes to tell the story, ensuring their performance is both powerful and captivating within the tight frame of the camera. This control in developing authentic performances that fully embodying character within themselves is a key differentiator in a successful on-camera audition.

Connecting with Their Scene Partner and the Lens

One of the biggest challenges for young actors is creating a connection without a live audience. We train our students to create a genuine connection with their scene partner that is captured by the lens-fostering an intimate and personal performance. This technique helps them to deliver a genuine and believable performance, allowing their personality to shine through. By building a relationship with the scene partner(s), young actors can draw the viewer in and make a lasting impression on casting directors.

Technical Self-Tape Proficiency

A great performance can be lost in a poor-quality self-tape. Our NYC expert on-camera coaching covers the essential technical aspects of auditioning from home. We guide our students on proper lighting, sound, and framing to ensure their self-tapes look and sound professional. From choosing the right backdrop to understanding the editing process, we provide them with the tools to create a polished submission that allows their talent to take center stage. This technical knowledge is crucial in the modern casting landscape.

Building Confidence and Consistency

Repetition and constructive feedback are key to building confidence. Our coaching sessions provide a safe and supportive environment for young actors to practice, make mistakes, and grow. Through mock auditions and personalized feedback, we help them develop a consistent and reliable audition technique. This preparation empowers them to walk into any audition, whether in-person or virtual, with the confidence to deliver their best performance every time.

Voice Over Demo

Your Voice, Their World: Crafting a Professional Voice-Over Demo

In the dynamic world of entertainment, the demand for fresh, youthful voices in animation, commercials, audiobooks, and interactive media is constantly growing. For aspiring young voice actors, a professionally produced voice-over demo is not just an asset – it’s a necessity. It’s your child’s sonic calling card, showcasing their range, personality, and ability to bring characters and narratives to life. At Broadway Kids Auditions, we specialize in guiding young talent through the exciting process of creating a standout voice-over demo that opens doors to incredible opportunities in the industry. Watch our recent reel on the #1 Voice-Over Mistake Young Actors Make and How to Fix It.

Identifying Your Child's Unique Voice

Every child possesses a unique vocal quality. Our expert NYC coaches work closely with young actors to identify their vocal strengths and natural acting instincts. Whether it’s a bright, energetic tone perfect for commercials, a warm, inviting voice ideal for narration, or a versatile range for character work, we help pinpoint the niches where your child’s voice will truly shine. This discovery phase is crucial for building a demo that authentically represents their talent and potential.

Script Selection and Character Development

A compelling voice-over demo relies on carefully selected scripts that highlight a diverse array of vocal abilities. We curate age-appropriate material across various genres, including animation, commercial, and narration. Our coaching focuses on teaching young actors how to analyze scripts, understand character motivations, and imbue each line with genuine emotion and intention. This process helps them develop distinct vocal personas, demonstrating their versatility and ability to embody different roles effectively.

Professional Studio Recording Experience

The recording studio can be an intimidating environment, but our supportive New York City voice-over coaches make it an exciting and educational experience. We partner with professional recording studios, providing your child with hands-on experience in a real industry setting. They learn microphone technique, how to take direction effectively, and the discipline required for successful studio work. This invaluable exposure not only results in high-quality recordings but also builds confidence and prepares them for future professional engagements.

Expert Mixing, Mastering, and Demo Production

After recording, the raw audio needs expert refinement. Our team oversees the professional mixing and mastering of each segment, ensuring optimal sound quality, seamless transitions, and a polished final product. We then compile these expertly produced clips into a concise, impactful demo reel that grabs the attention of casting directors and agents. The goal is a demo that is not only technically superior but also strategically structured to showcase your child’s very best work.

The Unexpected Confidence Boost: Why Theater Training for Kids is a Game-Changer

When a child shows an interest in the performing arts, it’s a moment of great excitement for the whole family. However, at Broadway Kids Auditions, we've found that many parents initially focus on a single goal: booking the next big role. While we love seeing our students succeed, our mission extends far beyond the audition room. We believe that the true value of theater training for kids lies in the profound life skills it instills. Our coaching is designed to help children grow as people, building the confidence and resilience they’ll need to thrive—whether they're on stage or in the classroom.

Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone

One of the most significant benefits of theater training is the boost it gives to a child’s confidence. Through the process of memorizing lines, embodying characters, and performing in front of others, children learn to express themselves. This repeated practice of stepping out of their comfort zone builds a sense of self-assurance that carries over into every aspect of their lives.

Mastering Essential Communication Skills

Theater is a masterclass in communication. Students learn to project their voice, articulate their words clearly, and use body language to convey emotion. These are skills that are not just for the stage. Clear and confident communication is vital for success in school, in social situations, and later, in their professional careers.

The Power of Camaraderie

Performing in a show is a collaborative effort, and our training emphasizes the importance of working together. Children learn to respect the contributions of their peers, give and receive constructive feedback, and support one another’s growth. This fosters a sense of camaraderie and teaches them the value of being part of a team.

Build Emotional Intelligence To Navigate Relationships

Theater training encourages children to explore their imaginations and tap into their creative side. They learn to empathize with different characters and understand various emotions, which directly builds their emotional intelligence. This ability to understand and navigate feelings is an invaluable skill for forming meaningful relationships and navigating life's challenges.

The skills we teach at Broadway Kids Auditions go far beyond perfecting a monologue or hitting a high note. We are committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are confident, articulate, and emotionally intelligent. Our virtual and in-person coaching, workshops, and industry showcases provide a comprehensive training ground that prepares your child for success both on and off the stage. We invite you to explore the Broadway Kids Auditions difference and see how our approach can help your child discover their full potential.

The Benefits of Joining a Musical Theatre Group for Children

At Broadway Kids Auditions, we know that the world of musical theatre is about more than just hitting the high notes or mastering a dance number. While those are certainly important skills, the real value for young performers and their families goes much deeper. We believe that by nurturing a child’s passion for the arts, you’re also helping them build a foundation of confidence, teamwork, and resilience that will serve them long after the final curtain call. For parents, understanding these broader benefits is key to seeing the true return on this wonderful investment.

Building Unshakeable Confidence and Self-Expression

Musical theatre gives young people a safe space to explore their emotions and express themselves. Every time a child steps on stage or even into an audition, they are overcoming fear and embracing their unique personality. This process directly builds confidence and self-esteem. As they learn to project their voice and embody different characters, our students at Broadway Kids Auditions become more comfortable in their own skin, both on and off the stage.

The Art of Collaboration and Teamwork

A show cannot go on with a single star. Musical theatre is a powerful lesson in teamwork. From the ensemble to the lead roles, every person has a crucial part to play. Kids learn how to listen to others, offer support, and work towards a shared goal. At Broadway Kids Auditions, we emphasize this collaborative spirit. Our programs teach kids that the success of the group is just as important as their individual performance, fostering a sense of community and mutual respect.

Fostering Discipline and Dedication

Mastering a song, a scene, or a dance requires commitment. Musical theatre teaches children the importance of discipline and a strong work ethic. They learn to be punctual, prepared, and dedicated to their craft through rehearsals and practice. These are not just performance skills; they are life skills. This focused approach helps our musical theatre kids develop the discipline they will carry with them into their schoolwork and future careers.

Nurturing Empathy and Emotional Intelligence

By stepping into the shoes of different characters, young performers develop a deeper sense of empathy. They learn to understand and portray a wide range of human emotions and experiences, which helps them become more emotionally intelligent and socially aware. This ability to connect with others on a profound level is a core benefit of every workshop and class we offer here at Broadway Kids Auditions.

Joining a musical theatre group is a profound experience that extends far beyond the stage. It's a journey of personal growth, skill-building, and self-discovery. We are incredibly proud to see our students flourish, not just as performers but as confident, collaborative, and empathetic individuals. Learn how Broadway Kids Auditions can help your child find their spotlight, whether in an audition room or in the world, by exploring our workshops and showcases.

The Importance of an Acting Coach for Young Performers

For a young aspiring actor, raw talent is a great starting point, but it's rarely enough to navigate the competitive world of professional performance. Just as a young athlete needs a coach to master their sport, a young performer benefits immensely from the guidance of a professional acting coach. An acting coach serves as a mentor and an expert guide, providing the essential tools and support to turn potential into a successful career.

Expert Guidance and Professional Insight

An acting coach brings a wealth of knowledge and industry experience that a young performer and their family may not have. They understand the specific demands of different mediums, from the subtle nuances of on-camera acting to the grand presence required for the stage. A coach provides crucial insights into the business, helping young actors understand casting expectations, industry etiquette, and how to build a professional presence. This guidance can be the difference between a great performance and a successful audition.

Skill Development and Technique

While some children are naturally expressive, acting is a craft that requires discipline and technique. An acting coach helps young performers develop core skills such as character analysis, vocal projection, emotional recall, and physical presence. They teach them how to dissect a script and bring a character to life, ensuring their performances are authentic and compelling. This structured training builds a strong foundation that will serve them throughout their career.

Building Confidence and Professionalism

Acting coaches provide a safe, supportive environment for young performers to take risks and grow. By working through challenging material and receiving constructive feedback, a child builds confidence in their abilities. This mentorship teaches them to approach their craft with professionalism, take direction gracefully, and handle rejection with resilience—all vital skills for both a long-term career and life in general.

Audition Preparation and Strategy

One of the most critical roles of an acting coach is to prepare a young performer for the audition room. A coach helps select the right material, provides mock audition scenarios, and offers feedback on everything from an actor's headshot to their demeanor. This targeted preparation ensures the young performer is ready to deliver a confident and memorable performance, maximizing their chances of landing a role.

Ready to Help Your Child Succeed?

The journey of a young performer is challenging but incredibly rewarding. With the right coach, your child can unlock their full potential and achieve their dreams. Broadway Kids Auditions offers personalized coaching from industry experts dedicated to helping young performers shine. Learn more about our services and schedule a session that could be the first step toward a successful career.

The Benefits of One-on-One Acting Lessons for Kids

Children dream big, and for many, that dream involves the stage or screen. While group classes offer a great introduction, one-on-one acting lessons provide a unique and powerful pathway to success. Broadway Kids Auditions (BKA) understands that every young performer is an individual, and our personalized approach is designed to help them thrive both in and out of the audition room.

Personalized Attention and Tailored Curriculum

In a private setting, a coach's full attention is dedicated to your child. There are no distractions, only focused, constructive feedback. This allows the coach to identify your child's specific strengths and weaknesses, tailoring a curriculum to address their individual needs. Whether they need to work on character development, cold readings, or vocal projection, private lessons ensure that every minute is spent on what matters most for their personal growth as a performer.

Building Confidence and Overcoming Nerves

The audition room can be an intimidating place, but one-on-one lessons create a safe space for your child to explore their creativity without the pressure of an audience. This focused environment helps build a strong foundation of confidence. By working through scenes and monologues repeatedly, they become more comfortable with the material and with themselves, making it easier to overcome audition nerves and deliver a stellar performance when it counts.

Audition Preparation and Skill Refinement

Broadway Kids Auditions specializes in real-world audition preparation for musical theatre, film, TV, and voiceover. Private coaching allows us to simulate the actual audition experience, providing invaluable practice and feedback. We can refine a child's song interpretation, perfect their monologue delivery, and teach them how to handle the specific demands of professional casting directors. This targeted training gives them the competitive edge needed to land roles in national tours, Broadway shows, and TV series, just as many of our alumni have.

Flexibility and Convenience

We understand that modern families have busy schedules. One-on-one lessons at Broadway Kids Auditions offer the ultimate in flexibility. With the option of both live sessions in New York City and virtual sessions for students worldwide, you can find a time that works for you. This convenience ensures that your child can receive top-tier coaching no matter where you are, making consistent training easier than ever before.

The Real Secret to Booking: Why Kids Need Audition Coaching

Think raw talent is all your child needs to succeed in NYC Broadway auditions? It’s a great start, but the real secret to booking the job goes deeper. At Broadway Kids Auditions, we believe in pairing talent with strategy. The most crucial element is one that many young actors miss: direct industry feedback. We’ll show you why specialized kids' audition coaching is the key to unlocking your child’s potential.

It’s More Than Just Talent

Your child is talented, dedicated, and passionate—we know that. They might be the star of their school play or have the best voice in the choir. While that raw ability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee a callback. The entertainment industry has its own set of rules, and understanding them is what separates a good performer from a working performer.

The Real Secret: Industry Feedback

So, what’s the secret sauce? It’s getting your child’s performance in front of the people who make the decisions: casting directors. This is where the magic happens. Real, actionable feedback from a top industry professional is the single most valuable tool your child can have. It’s not just about what to do; it’s about understanding why from the perspective of the person on the other side of the table.

Ready to help your child achieve their Broadway dreams? Sign up for our next workshop today!

Mastering the Material

The foundation of any successful audition is a thorough understanding of the material. Encourage your child to memorize their lines and songs completely, focusing not just on the words and notes, but also on the emotion and intention behind them. Practice performing in front of family and friends to build confidence and identify areas for improvement.

Stage Presence and Movement

Broadway isn't just about singing or acting; it's about captivating an audience. Help your child develop strong stage presence by encouraging them to project their voice, make eye contact, and use expressive body language. If the audition requires dance, ensure they are comfortable with the choreography and can execute it cleanly and with energy. Most of all, it’s important for the artist to know “why” they are singing the song, “who” they are singing it to, and “what” they want in the song, monologue or scene! 

The Power of Practice Auditions

Familiarity breeds comfort. Recreate the audition environment at home as closely as possible. Set up a mock "panel" and have your child perform their pieces as if it were the real thing. This helps them get accustomed to the pressure and allows them to practice their entrance, performance, and exit, mimicking the professional setting.

Nailing the Nerves

Audition nerves are natural, but they don't have to derail a great performance. Teach your child simple calming techniques like deep breathing exercises. Remind them that casting directors want them to succeed and that it's okay to be excited. Emphasize that the most important thing is to have fun and show their passion for performing.

Preparing for a NYC Broadway audition is a journey that requires dedication, practice, and a positive mindset. By focusing on these key areas, you can empower your child to walk into their audition feeling prepared, confident, and ready to shine. Don't let this opportunity pass by!

The Importance of On-Camera Coaching for Young Actors

Ready to help your young actor shine on screen? At Broadway Kids Auditions, we know the unique demands of on-camera performance. That's why we champion the invaluable role of on-camera classes in NYC for young actors. It's not just about memorizing lines; it's about understanding the subtle nuances that translate effectively from stage to screen. Learn more about why these coaching sessions are essential for your young actor, then contact us to get started!

The Close-Up Demands Authenticity

Unlike the expansive gestures of stage acting, on-camera work thrives on authenticity and subtlety. A slight eye movement or a barely perceptible facial expression can convey volumes. On-camera coaching teaches young actors how to internalize emotions and communicate them with a naturalism that reads powerfully in a close-up. 

Mastering Technical Skills

Beyond emotional truth, on-camera acting requires specific technical proficiencies. Young performers need to understand concepts like hitting their mark, maintaining eye lines, and working within the frame. Coaching helps them navigate these technical aspects seamlessly, allowing them to focus on their performance rather than getting lost in the logistics of filmmaking.

Building Confidence in a New Medium

For young actors primarily experienced in theater, stepping in front of a camera can be intimidating. On-camera coaching provides a safe space to experiment and build confidence in this new medium. They learn to trust their instincts and embrace the vulnerability that on-camera work often demands, transforming potential apprehension into empowered performances.

Navigating Audition Success

Many acting opportunities for young performers now begin with a self-tape or virtual audition. On-camera coaching is crucial for mastering this format. From proper lighting and sound to engaging presentation and effective self-direction, coaching provides the tools to create compelling audition tapes that stand out and showcase talent effectively.

At Broadway Kids Auditions, we believe that investing in on-camera coaching is an investment in your child's future as a versatile and successful performer. Help them unlock their full potential and prepare for the exciting world of on-screen acting. Contact us today to learn more about our on-camera classes in NYC! 

Self-Tape Success: How to Bring Your True Self to Every Audition!

At BKA in New York City, we know that mastering the art of self-taping is crucial for aspiring actors navigating the competitive landscape of auditions. With our on-camera virtual classes, we emphasize the importance of making a strong first impression. Here are four key points to help you nail your self-tapes and captivate casting directors:

The 3-Second Rule

Casting directors often review countless submissions, so making an impression in the first three seconds is vital. Start with bold choices that immediately showcase your understanding of the character and the world they inhabit. This initial hook can set you apart from other actors vying for the same role. 

Authenticity Matters

Your unique personality should shine through your performance. Authenticity is key in self-taping; let your true self come alive in your chosen character. This approach allows casting directors to connect with you on a personal level, which can influence their decision-making process.

Vocal Quality is Essential

When performing songs or delivering lines, ensure your voice is clear and resonant. Casting directors need to hear not only your vocal ability but also the emotion behind your singing. Strong vocal delivery can leave a lasting impression, showing your readiness for the role. Additionally, an on-camera coach can help you prepare.

Practice Makes Perfect
We can’t say it enough—practice really does make perfect, especially when it comes to self-taping. The more you record yourself, the more comfortable and confident you’ll feel in front of the camera. Watch those tapes back, notice what shines, and tweak the things that could use a little extra polish. It’s all part of the journey, and trust us, it gets easier (and more fun!) the more you do it.

At Broadway Kids Auditions here in NYC, we’re all about helping you grow. Our incredible coaches—like Brett Teresa, whose goal is to align passion with technique, the inspiring and detail-driven Melissa Rain Anderson, and the endlessly insightful Michael Brian Dunn—bring years of real Broadway experience and a deep passion for helping young actors thrive. Whether you're working on your first monologue or perfecting a scene for a big audition, they’ll guide you every step of the way in our on-camera virtual classes.

Self-tapes can feel intimidating, but with the right support, they become exciting opportunities to let your unique personality shine. Focus. Practice. Be your authentic self—and don’t be afraid to take risks!

So get out there and go for it. Be bold, be brave, and most of all—have fun!

With lots of encouragement,
Kurt and the BKA Team

10 Must-Know Tips for Parents Supporting Kids in Acting and Musical Theatre

As a parent, supporting your child’s dreams of becoming a Broadway star or landing a role in a TV show can be both exciting and overwhelming. From navigating auditions to balancing school and extracurriculars, helping your child succeed in acting and musical theatre requires a thoughtful approach.

At Broadway Kids Auditions (BKA), located in the heart of New York City, we’ve worked with hundreds of parents and kids, helping them navigate the competitive world of acting and theatre. Whether your young performer dreams of starring on Broadway or excelling in local NYC theatre productions, these 10 must-know tips will help you support them every step of the way.

1. Understand Your Child’s Passion

Before diving into acting classes or auditions, take the time to understand why your child loves acting or musical theatre. Is it the thrill of performing? The joy of singing? The camaraderie of being in a cast? Knowing their “why” can help you guide them toward opportunities that align with their goals and keep them motivated.

Pro Tip: Many kids dream of performing on Broadway, but exploring local NYC theatre opportunities—like community stages or workshops—can be an excellent starting point.

2. Research the NYC Acting and Theatre Industry

New York City is the entertainment capital of the world, making it a prime location for young performers. To support your child’s journey, it’s essential to understand how the local industry operates, including:

• NYC-based auditions (in-person and virtual)

• The best acting coaches and programs in the city

• Networking events and workshops for young actors

• The importance of headshots, resumes, and self-tapes tailored for New York casting directors

Staying informed will help you make better decisions and ensure your child is prepared for the unique challenges of the NYC acting scene.

3. Provide Emotional Support

Theatre kids face rejection more often than success—it’s the nature of the business, especially in a competitive city like New York. Your child might not get every role they audition for, and that’s okay. Be their biggest cheerleader, reminding them that every “no” is one step closer to a “yes.”

Quick Tip: Celebrate their effort, not just their results. Say things like, “I’m so proud of the hard work you put into that audition,” rather than focusing on the outcome.

4. Help Them Stay Organized

Between auditions, rehearsals, and schoolwork, your child’s schedule can quickly become overwhelming. This is especially true in NYC, where auditions and callbacks can pop up at a moment’s notice. Teach them how to manage their time effectively by:

• Creating a shared calendar for rehearsals and auditions.

• Setting aside specific time for schoolwork and relaxation.

• Keeping track of deadlines for self-tape submissions and callbacks.

Bonus: Download our free Broadway Audition Checklist for NYC Kids to help your child stay organized and confident.

5. Invest in the Right Training

Acting and musical theatre require continuous skill-building. Enroll your child in classes or programs that focus on:

• Acting techniques (e.g., scene study, character development).

• Vocal training and performance.

• Dance and movement skills for stage performance.

NYC is full of incredible opportunities for kids to train with professionals who understand the demands of Broadway. At Broadway Kids Auditions, we offer top-tier coaching and workshops tailored to NYC kids and teens, ensuring they’re prepared for auditions and beyond.

Pro Tip: Look for programs with experienced NYC coaches who have direct connections to Broadway and local theatre productions.

6. Keep It Fun

While your child may take their Broadway dreams seriously, it’s important to keep the experience enjoyable. Encourage them to explore different roles and genres, and remind them that acting should be as much about the process as it is about the result.

Activity Idea: Take advantage of NYC’s rich theatre scene by attending kid-friendly Broadway shows or local performances together to inspire them.

7. Network with Other Parents (Especially in NYC)

There’s a lot to learn as a parent of an aspiring performer, and other parents can be a valuable resource. In NYC, there are countless opportunities to connect with families on a similar path, such as:

• Joining local theatre groups or Facebook communities.

• Attending workshops and events hosted by organizations like Broadway Kids Auditions.

• Sharing tips and advice with other parents at auditions or classes.

At BKA, we’ve created a supportive community for NYC parents to share advice, ask questions, and connect with industry professionals.

8. Teach Them Resilience

The entertainment industry is full of ups and downs, and building resilience is key to long-term success. Teach your child how to handle rejection, learn from feedback, and stay positive. Remind them that every audition is a learning experience, whether or not they land the role.

Mantra to Share: “Your talent will shine when the right role comes along.”

9. Support Their Growth Beyond Theatre

While acting and musical theatre may be their passion, it’s important to help your child develop a well-rounded identity. Encourage them to:

• Stay engaged in school and hobbies outside of theatre.

• Build friendships both inside and outside of the performing arts world.

• Take breaks to recharge and avoid burnout.

This balance will not only make them happier but also add depth to their performances.

Every child’s journey in acting and musical theatre is unique. Some may land a role quickly, while others may take years of training and auditions to break through. Trust that with the right support, training, and opportunities, your child will grow both as a performer and as a person.

At Broadway Kids Auditions, located in New York City, we focus on helping kids develop confidence, resilience, and professional skills—values that will serve them on and off the stage.

How to Make Your Self-Tape Stand Out: Tips for Teen and Kid Actors 🎭

If you’re a young performer dreaming of Broadway, TV, or film success, you’ve likely heard the term “self-tape” countless times. Self-tapes have become a cornerstone of the casting process, allowing actors to audition from anywhere in the world. But here’s the catch: casting directors often receive hundreds of submissions for a single role. So, how do you make your self-tape stand out from the crowd?

At Broadway Kids Auditions (BKA), located in the heart of New York City, we specialize in helping kids and teens ages 8–18 nail their auditions and land roles on Broadway stages, streaming platforms, and TV shows. One of the most critical aspects of auditioning is making a lasting first impression—and for self-tapes, that first impression happens in the opening seconds.

In this blog post, we’ll break down some expert tips to help young performers create self-tapes that grab casting directors’ attention and dramatically increase their chances of booking the role.

Why First Impressions Matter in Self-Tapes

Casting directors are busy people. For every audition, they may receive hundreds—or even thousands—of self-tapes. While they’ll likely watch every submission, they don’t have to watch the entire video. This means the first few seconds of your self-tape are crucial.

So, what makes a strong first impression? A self-tape that immediately captures the essence of the character, showcases your unique talent, and demonstrates your understanding of the material. In other words, you need to:

• Make bold choices right from the start.

• Showcase your vocal or acting skills immediately.

• Create a sense of the character’s world and environment.

Let’s dive deeper into how you can accomplish this.

1. Start Strong: Bold Choices from the First Frame

The first few seconds of your self-tape set the tone for the entire audition. Casting directors want to see confidence, preparation, and a clear understanding of the material. Here’s how to start strong:

a) Understand the Character’s World

Before you hit “record,” take time to study the script, sides, or song. Ask yourself:

• What is the character feeling in this moment?

• What’s their relationship to the other characters or the environment?

• What’s their goal in the scene?

By understanding the character’s world, you can make informed choices that feel authentic and intentional. When you bring the character’s environment to life—whether it’s a Broadway stage, a bustling city, or a quiet room—it shows casting directors that you’ve done your homework.

b) Make Specific, Memorable Choices

It’s better to make a bold choice and stand out than to play it safe and fade into the background. This doesn’t mean overacting or being theatrical, but rather finding unique ways to interpret the material. For example:

• Add subtle layers to your performance, like a moment of hesitation or a glance that adds depth to the character.

• Emphasize the stakes of the scene—what does the character have to lose?

Specificity can turn a good audition into a great one.

2. Showcase Your Vocal Quality Immediately

For musical theater auditions, your voice is your most powerful tool. Casting directors need to hear your vocal quality right away. If you’re submitting a self-tape for a singing role, follow these tips:

a) Choose the Right Song

Pick a song that highlights your strengths and fits the character. Don’t just sing your favorite Broadway hit—choose something that complements the role you’re auditioning for. Remember:

• Avoid songs that are overdone or too closely associated with a specific performer.

• Select a song that showcases your vocal range and emotional connection to the material.

b) Nail the First Few Notes

The first notes you sing set the tone for the entire audition. Warm up beforehand to ensure your voice is ready to shine. Make sure the opening of your song is polished, confident, and engaging.

c) Focus on Storytelling

Singing isn’t just about hitting the right notes—it’s about telling a story. Bring the lyrics to life by connecting emotionally to the material. This shows casting directors that you understand the character and the world they live in.

3. Technical Tips for a Professional Self-Tape

Even the best performance can fall flat if your self-tape isn’t technically polished. Follow these guidelines to ensure your tape looks and sounds professional:

a) Choose the Right Background

Use a clean, neutral background that doesn’t distract from your performance. A plain wall or curtain works best. Avoid cluttered or brightly patterned backgrounds.

Make sure you’re centered in the frame and maintain good eye contact with the camera.

b) Use Good Lighting

Good lighting is essential to make sure your face is clearly visible. Natural light works well, but if you’re taping indoors, use a ring light or softbox light to eliminate shadows.

c) Invest in Clear Audio

Casting directors need to hear every word you say (or sing). Use a high-quality microphone or position yourself close to your phone or camera for clear audio. Reduce background noise by recording in a quiet space.

d) Frame Yourself Correctly

For most auditions, a medium-close shot (from your chest up) works best. Make sure you’re centered in the frame and maintain good eye contact with the camera.

e) Test Before You Submit

Always review your self-tape before sending it in. Check for:

• Clear audio and visuals.

• A strong opening that grabs attention.

• Any distractions that could pull focus from your performance.

4. End Strong: Leave a Lasting Impression

Just as the beginning of your self-tape is important, the ending should leave a lasting impression. Finish with a moment or choice that sticks in the casting director’s mind. Whether it’s a subtle emotional shift or a powerful vocal note, make sure your performance ends on a high note.

5. Learn from Feedback

No matter how good you are, there’s always room to grow. At Broadway Kids Auditions, we offer self-tape feedback and review sessions to help young performers polish their tapes and improve their chances of booking roles. Our experienced coaches provide actionable advice to help you refine your technique, make stronger choices, and stand out in a crowded field.

Why Self-Tape Success Matters

In today’s industry, self-tapes often serve as the first point of contact between actors and casting directors. A well-crafted self-tape can:

• Help you land callbacks and auditions for major roles.

• Show casting directors that you’re professional, prepared, and talented.

• Open doors to opportunities in Broadway, TV, film, and beyond.

At Broadway Kids Auditions, we’ve helped countless young performers land roles in major productions like The Music Man, Les Misérables, and Trevor: The Musical. With the right preparation and coaching, your self-tape could be next!

Final Thoughts: Your Next Role Starts Here

Creating a standout self-tape isn’t just about following technical guidelines—it’s about showcasing your unique talent, making bold choices, and connecting with the character’s world. By starting strong, showcasing your vocal or acting skills, and paying attention to technical details, you can create a self-tape that grabs casting directors’ attention and leaves a lasting impression.
