Perhaps you have hired a
"Children's Entertainer"
for your kids party and thought
I could do that
But don't know how to begin

"So Where do you start?"
Well first of all realise that entertaining children is not easy.  Do not be fooled by all the happy smiles.   

A good entertainer makes everything look easy and he is having fun at the same time but the reality is he is working very, very hard on your behalf to ensure that your child has a great party.

Also remember that entertainers are NOT all the same.  There are as many bad ones as there are good ones.

Here are my Top Ten Tips to Becoming a Successful Children's Entertainer

     It may sound obvious but you do need to have a love for entertaining and also a love of working with children.  Children can detect a phony right away so don't try to bluff your way through a show.  Trust me you will regret it.

   A good way to learn whether or not you are suited to work with children is to perhaps offer to baby sit for a friend or family member.  This way you will quickly learn children's humour and is a great way of finding out what they like, what makes them laugh etc.

   Also do volunteer work for a local youth organisation such as the Scouts or a church group.  I was a Sunday School Teacher for many years and found interacting with children to be very natural especially when it came to the Children's Christmas Shows and summer trips.

Okay so you find that you like working with children and they like you but you still need a show so.....

   First watch as many children's entertainers as you can to see the variety of styles and decide where you see yourself fitting in.

 If you see an entertainer that you particularly like and feel his style suits you then ask that entertainer if he will help you.  Having a mentor is invaluable to help you avoid mistakes.  He can also help with greatly with the business side of things.

    It is hard to gain experience in being a children's entertainer.  You need a show and you need to perform it many times to iron out problems and to improve your entertaining skills.  Accept the fact that not everyone is suited to entertaining children.  It is a tough audience, much tougher than entertaining adults.  Just ask anyone who has done both.

   Consider taking drama and/or acting lessons to build upon your natural  entertaining skills.  Experience the stage fright which affects everyone.  Learn how to cope with your fear and realise that even seasoned actors experience "stage fright".  At this stage you want to build your confidence to stand in front of an audience.

   Next you need to create your own show routine.  What you do will depend on the skills you already have.  For example many magicians perform magic shows for children.  If this appeals to you you need to learn magic and the best way is to join a magic club to perfect your magic tricks.  Remember that there are different kinds of magic and children's magic is only one branch of magic.  Alternatively You might be good at organising children's games and this could form the bases of your show.  Then again you might be good at balloon modeling and this could be your starting point. Start by perfecting a fifteen minute performance.  You can then, at a later stage, build your act up to thirty minutes and then one hour. 

  When you feel confident, practice your routine in front of a live audience say a small group of children which could be your own children or friends and family.  Start with the easy age group ie five and six year olds.  If that goes well start offering your services as a children's entertainer at fetes, birthday parties, basically anywhere where children need to be entertained, but again restrict the length of your show to no more than 30 minutes and that way you always (hopefully) leave your audience wanting more.  This will help to build your confidence.

  If you have got this far and are serious about becoming a children's entertainer then you might as well be rewarded for your troubles.  The props you use are not cheap. likewise most entertainers use music and good music systems cost money.  You will need to be properly insured and have your equipment PAT Certified and a good entertainer always volunteers to be CRB checked.  This all costs money so at the end of the whole process you should consider charging a fee to pay your expenses.

Remember to be successful in show business you not only need a great show but you must always make sure that you attend to the business side of things.

And Finally....If you are very serious about making a living from being a children's entertainer then I can help you learn easy powerful entertaining magic.

Give me a call and I shall explain how you can quickly and easily learn the ins and outs of putting on a successful show and also how to organise the business side.
