I have always have mixed feelings about kids in entertainment.
There are some kids who have parents that are crazy psycho about getting them the best roles and opportunities…not necessarily to help the child but to help themselves.
You see this frequently….living through the child.
It’s not just happening in entertainment because I’
ve seen it on the football field too!
Anyway, just as there are those parents who are psycho-crazy, there are also parents who genuinely desire to help their child realize his dream. Fortunately for these parents there is Gonnabe.com!
Gonnabe.com is a membership based networking organization for children who want to get into acting, singing, dancing, etc. It’s not a talent agency, but members do get to learn the necessary skills in entertainment and they also get the opportunity to perform in front of live audiences. Some members even get to be on a tv show!
I think Gonnabe.com is a great idea because it seems to be a way to give both parents and children a good idea of what it is like to work in the entertainment industry and to work with the industry’s professionals. I also think it’s a great way to actually meet those talent scouts!
Seriously, I just like this whole concept…it seems like a more responsible and respectful way for parents to let their child “get their feet wet” in an industry that does not have a stellar image!
