As a parent, you know your child is adorable, and if they can also sing, you may be interested in having them audition for singing roles for networks like Nickelodeon and The Disney Channel. In New York singing auditions are held occasionally, and one good way to find audition opportunities is by checking websites that show where upcoming auditions will be held, and what the requirements are for each audition. This is one particularly good website for finding those audition opportunities

Advice has been given by people in the industry, and the most important advice is to show up early for the audition, be sure that your child is prepared, and that they know the song they will use for the audition. The song should be so well memorized that it becomes second nature to them. New York singing auditions can be very stressful, and every step should be taken to minimize that stress. Being prepared is an important first step.

You should have photos of your child with you, known as head shots, along with information about the child so you will be able to give a copy to the director at the casting call. It is important that your child do the best job they possibly can to maximize their chances of being chosen.

The person holding the audition is simply trying to fill a position, and an audition is very much like a job interview, only for the performing arts. Keeping that in mind, encourage your child to do the best they can. Some children are naturally performers and will have minimal problems with things like nervousness, other children are more sensitive and become nervous before a performance. It’s important that the child doesn’t eat anything for two hours prior to their audition, and that you both show up early, prepared for the audition. With preparation and a little luck, your child could be on the way to an exciting career!
