Attending a talent showcase is considered the pinnacle of the Hollywood Group program. Still many parents ask, "What is a showcase" and "Where do I find a script for the showcase?" To answer these and many other questions about showcasing, we are proud to announce our newest workshop for parents, Showcase Planning.
The Showcase Planning Workshop equips the parent with ammunition to help their child make the most of their showcase performance. Topics to be discussed include:
- What agents and managers look for and how they select new talent
- Dos and don't including appropriate wardrobe and etiquette
- Guidelines for selecting and writing commercial material
- Tipes for encouraging your kids without pressuring them
Once your child is in front of agents and managers, the outcome is ultimately up to him. Before bringing your child to a showcase, however, it is up to you to make sure your child is fully aware of what a showcase entails and determine if your child is ready to shine. Your child has approximately one minute to impress the VIP's. Will they be ready?
