Atlanta weekend

My kid's dream is to be in the entertainment business. More specifically, she wants to be on TV. She has wanted this for a couple years. So, like the good parents we are try to be, we are doing whatever we can to help her achieve this.

This last weekend was a big part of that. She was able to meet a lot of agencies from around the world, and, in turn, they were able to see her. This is way better than spending all kinds of money, traveling all over the place, with the hopes someone will like her.

At the end of the event, on Sunday, we found out if any of the agencies were interested in her by any callbacks she received.
She received three!!! Yay!!!!

One agent just wanted to talk to her, and tell her he wanted to watch her over the next couple of years -- and then take her to New York and Paris!! She's too young to bring to NY right now.

The next agent we talked to works closely with the first one. She is based in Atlanta (very do-able). She will be contacting us within the next couple of weeks.

The third agency is also based in NY. He was interested in her doing TV commercials. Very huge opportunity. Unfortunately, we were unable to talk to him. He had an early flight. We were, however, able to talk to the agent that does the commercial print in the same agency. He took a picture of her, and had a very good idea of what the other agent was looking for. He will give the TV commercial agent her information when he returns to NY.

The Little Diva really showed her stuff this weekend. She would be nervous, but wouldn't show it. She always looked completely relaxed and natural. Well, when it counted... After she would finish some pressured part of the schedule, she would come to me and start freaking out. She would shake a little bit, feel nervous, anxious, etc... That adrenaline rush hitting, and all that rot. Which was perfect timing! Agents want people that can perform under pressure.

It was cool. We are so very proud!
She was able to perform under pressure (which the agents look for).
