If your kid has caught the acting bug and you want to help pave their way to stardom, then keep reading...

Does your child enjoy performing in front of an audience - be it at family gatherings or at friends' parties?


Have you lost count of the number of school plays or local theater productions your young one has starred in?


Are people constantly amazed when they watch your kid act out scenes from popular movies like a pro?


You may have only realized it recently, but you could be the proud parent of the next big child star. Naturally, you'd want to support their dreams and help them put their acting prowess to work.


But first, a reality check: even if your kid has plenty of talent, finding success in the entertainment industry can be quite challenging.


For one, just think about how stiff the competition is out there - after all, your child is not the only one hoping to be thrust into the spotlight.


In fact, according to HBO's documentary, Showbiz Kids, there are over 20,000 child actors who audition for roles in Hollywood every year... and a whopping 95% of them don't book a single job.


This is a sad reality that Makeda Tene' Ekakitie, a "momager" of a successful child actor, knows all too well. Her son, Innocent Onanovie Ekakitie, is, fortunately, part of the 5% of young talents who have booked projects left and right with no signs of stopping.


However, her son's success was not exactly a walk in the park - it took years of hard work, plenty of patience, and numerous mistakes-turned-to-learnings before they finally found his rightful place in the industry.


The good news is, your child's journey to fame does not have to be difficult. Makeda - an actress, writer, and musician herself - has created an in-depth guide to help you make your kid's acting dream a reality.


Inside, here is just a small fraction of what you will discover:

  • How to expertly navigate through an audition process without making costly mistakes
  • Fool-proof tips to secure the necessary work permits - don't let life-changing opportunities get away just because of technicalities!
  • 5+ ways to get the winning headshot - the most crucial marketing tool your kid needs to start booking jobs
  • The one thing you should never put in your kid's resume... unless you want to kiss their acting dream goodbye
  • How successful child actors build their "dream team" - discover ways to connect with the right agents and reps
  • A step-by-step guide to getting your child booked for their breakout role
  • What's a "self-tape" and why is it a must-have to ensure your kid's success in showbusiness
  • Time-tested techniques to protect your child's earnings... and why you should learn from the actor who played Uncle Fester in Addams Family


And much more.


In this book, several years of first-hand experience have been conveniently summed up in simple, practical, and easy-to-digest ways to help you and your child make it in the biz... and stay there for a long time.


The road to your child's stardom may be tricky and treacherous, but with the right tools and information, it will be a sweet and successful ride.
