Child Actor Coaching for Parents: How to Navigate Self-Tapes, Agents, and Auditions

From Overwhelmed by Auditions to Confidently Supporting Your Rising Star

Helping moms of young actors cut through the confusion of self-tapes, headshots, and casting sites so they can guide their child with clarity, confidence, and calm.

The Momager
Behind the Mission 

I started where many moms of young actors do, completely overwhelmed by auditions, confused about headshots, and second-guessing every choice. We spent money on photos that did not get our daughter noticed, struggled through self-tapes that ended in tears, and felt lost in the maze of casting platforms. 

After years of trial, research, and learning from real-world experience,
I discovered what actually works.

Today, I help moms cut through the noise with simple, step-by-step tools that save time, money, and stress so they can feel confident supporting their child’s acting journey.

By the Numbers

  • 4 years of researching books, articles, online posts and attending classes to better understand directly from casting directors, agents and managers what “works” in this business.

    commercials on her résumé.

  • 20+ years of coaching expertise leading workshops, trainings,

Today, I combine decades of coaching expertise with my hands-on experience as a Momager…

Why I Do This

Because I’ve been where you are. I know what it feels like to second-guess every decision, waste money on equipment that you don't need, and struggle through stressful self-tapes that leave everyone frustrated.

I believe parents shouldn’t have to figure this industry out alone. With the right tools and support, you can guide your child with clarity and confidence - without burning out in the process.

My goal is to help parents of young actors feel calm, prepared, and supported
while giving their children the best chance to shine.

Fun Facts About Me 

  • I’m a proud mom of two kids (and two very spoiled dogs who think they run the house).

  • I’ve sat through more hours of rehearsals, recitals, and auditions than I can possibly count - and I wouldn’t trade a minute of it.

  • Travel is my happy place. If there’s a new city (or theatre) to explore, I’m in.

  • My guilty pleasure? Curling up with a good book and a mug of hot tea after a long rehearsal day.

  • I will always choose live theatre over movies - it’s where my heart beats fastest.

  • I never expected to become a “Momager,” but now I can’t imagine life without this wild, wonderful ride.
