I'm glad it was helpful to you. A callback is a great thing. It truly means your child is castable -- the casting director obviously felt that she was right for the part and did a good job and that is why she got called back. Just encourage your daughter to go to the callback and do what she did the first time and most of all to have fun. It is hard (impossible) to predict what your daughter's chances are. As I mentioned in my article, there could be just a handful of kids called back for a role (maybe as few as 3 or 4), but typically there are more than that--maybe 10 or even more. So any one of the kids called back could get the part just as your daughter could. Just take her to the callback and remind her how fabulous it is to get a callback. Don't put any pressure on her. Just let her do her stuff and then move on and try not to dwell on it. Then, if she does book the part, when you get the call, it will be a very pleasant surprise. I always like to write down when the job is supposed to work, and when that date has passed (unless the commercial shoot date got moved), I know that the job was not booked. But really it is best just to try not to keep thinking about it but just to go about your life. It is more common NOT to book a job than to book it. Good luck, and let me know how the callback goes! Best regards, Debbie Sikkema Hi Becky,

Its for Japan Telecommunications. At first I thought that she already got the part but after reading your article which was by the way great, I realized its just another audition. We are very proud of her especially since its only her second audition but what are the chances of her not getting picked. Usually about how many people are called back whene there are only four girls needed? My 11year old daughter has a callback audition tommorow. Its for Japan Telecommunications.

But, I haven’t obtained a call nevertheless. I keep considering to myself, possibly he believed that he would call me until eventually an individual auditioned following me that perhaps was improved.

My 9 year old son just got his first callback on a national commercial. We are very excited as he has been represented for 5 years now and has never landed a commercial yet. The callback is being done by videoconference. Should I be nervous about that, it sounds intimidating? Thanks! Hello!
