24-Carat Commercials for Kids : Everything Kids Need to Know to Break into Commercials

24-Carat Commercials for Kids: Everything Kids Need To Know to Break into Commercials, written by Chambers Stevens, Los Angeles' #1 kids acting coach, is packed with detailed descriptions of just what kids must do to win a career in commercials. This includes basic requirements for training + preparation, presentation materials such as resumes for beginners/pros (with examples) and photos (with examples), instructions for obtaining a work permit and 101 commercials for practice. Interviews are presented with three Hollywood commercial industry heavyweights - a casting director, an agent and a commercial director- discussing current industry requirements for young actors. Also included: Chambers' commercial audition Do's and Don'ts, a glossary of industry terms, a chapter on how to get an agent, names and addresses of top commercial agencies for young actors within active industry regions around the US, storyboard example and an index. The book is written for children to read and understand. The incorporated commercials require a minimum of props and work in impromptu settings. Great for classroom, variety talent shows, parties, competitions, and ultimately, auditions.
