About this listen

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

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 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, over 20,000 child actors audition for roles in Hollywood every year…and a whopping 95 percent 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 percent 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, patience, and 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
