First, make yourself clear what you want for her and what she wants in terms of dedication!. If you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make her happy!. If she want to be "famous" to make money, you should differentiate that being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like!. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what she deeply wish, at least to do what will nurture her!. Best of luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

A great way for your daughter to get acting experience is to join a children's acting troupe!. She'll become familiar with theatre and performing, and have fun at the same time!. Sign her up for acting classes, and just be supportive of her talent!. also, keep an eye open for local community production auditions!. It is possible, if you get her an agent, that she could end up auditioning for commercials and small roles, but I believe that for someone who is passionate about acting, the stage is the very best place to start!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know a kid who is in a couple of commercials!. He just auditioned and got in!.
After that, he got into a film as an extra!. I guess maybe start like that, then work up!. That's all you can do at that age given she can't really go out and study for it yet!.

It's demanding on them though!. This little one was expected to be up until 2am, then start school the next day at 9am!.
Most of the time, he was just standing around waiting for them to do something!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She needs to get:
A headshot
An agent
As much training as possible

Once your child has an agent, the agent will find jobs for your child!Www@QuestionHome@Com
