Publisher's Summary

Do you have a talented child that everyone says is made for television but you’ve hit a brick wall in helping them break into show business? Well this audiobook will outline everything you need to know and do to successfully navigate the entertainment industry. No matter where you live, there are steps you can take to get your child’s professional acting career started today!

There are many people out there who claim they can help guide you through this journey but the reality of it is that no one can understand what it means to be the SPCA (Supportive Parent of A Child Actor) unless they’ve been one. Every parent’s journey will be different but all SPCAs can resonate with each other’s stories. Can you imagine getting a call from a Hollywood producer your child is working for and they tell you to watch your child closely because “they (industry professionals) will f--k him”, you begin to understand quickly that this industry journey is one you don’t want to take alone.

I have experience in casting and producing but more recently, I’ve joined the team of talent agency in Los Angeles where I’ve been working in the Youth Department. For over seven years I have managed my son who is a series regular on a television series so I’ve shared my experiences and what I learned all in this audiobook. Raising a Child Star is jammed pack with useful information, tip, tools, and resources that will answer questions like “how do i get my child started” and “how do i find a talent agent for my child”?

After listening to this audiobook, you will know exactly what action steps you need to take to get your child’s career started, you will understand what is necessary for your child to become a working actor, and the best ways you can support them along the way. I share with you the lessons I’ve learned so that you can be prepared to push through the hurdles that you may be faced with. Raising a Child Star is a must listen for any parent who has considered supporting their child in the entertainment industry.
