Acting for my Son
Fri, 14 Aug 2009, 12:41 pmHi there.
I'm new and hoping you can help me out here.
My son (who is nearly 6) is extremely confident & outgoing and loves to sing, act, dance etc - basically he just loves to perform!
I am trying to find the right way to go about getting him into some acting - tv ads etc & possibly even theatre.
Also, which would the the correct type of acting classes to send him to? I had him with Helen O Grady's but that wasn't what I was looking for as they teach more confidence building which he definitely doesn't need. I want him to do something where he gets to perform & utilise & develop his talent.
His teacher has told me that he's a 'rare talent' and in her 10 years of teaching she's only ever come across one other child like my son. I even have the school principle encouraging me to get him involved in some other acting.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your

Thank you for your comments.
Sky, I hear exactly what you're saying & I certainly don't want to put my Son under any pressure. I just want to help him on the right path if you know what I mean.
I certainly don't want this all to affect things like school & just being a normal kid but I also believe he needs some outlet for his talent.
I'm going to look at the theatre schools & see if we can get him in there.
This is a great site & you have all been very generous with your advice.
