1. Getting Started
Age group: Generally 0–15 years (infants, toddlers, kids, teens).
Looks don’t matter as much as expressions, confidence, and natural charm.
Parents’ involvement is very important.
2. Portfolio / Pictures
Start with 5–6 best natural photos (not necessarily professional at first).
Clear headshot, smiling face, full-length, casual look, and one styled look.
Good lighting and natural background work better than over-edited images.
3. Where Opportunities Come From
Casting agencies & coordinators (daily requirements).
Advertising agencies & production houses (TV ads, print, digital).
Brands (clothing, toys, baby products, learning apps, etc.).
Competitions & reality shows (singing, dancing, acting, modelling).
4. Parents’ Role
Be patient and consistent (opportunities take time).
Keep your child’s pictures updated (kids’ looks change every few months).
Always check authenticity before attending auditions.
Never pressure the child—keep it fun.
5. Skills Beyond Looks
Dancing, singing, acting, or even unique talents help a child stand out.
Confidence in front of the camera is more important than perfection.
6. Common Misconceptions
Portfolio is not always mandatory to start.
Expensive shoots aren’t necessary—brands need natural faces.
Modelling doesn’t affect studies if handled wisely.
✅ Pro Tip for Parents:
Start small with good pictures and sending them to casting calls. Don’t wait for a “perfect moment.” Kids grow fast, and every phase can bring new opportunities.
