Self-Tape Success: Video Audition Training

The world sure is different for us singers, wouldn’t you agree?

We’re hearing data from various sources that singing in groups, with no masks, is still months, maybe a year, away.

And yet art endures. Artists will endure.

Because an artist creates no matter the circumstances, because we can’t NOT create.

At Confident Voice Studio we’re doing more and more to keep singing actors performing during these trying times…like our world premiere virtual musical, The Show Must Go Online.

And you can expect more companies to follow suit with more virtual productions and more virtual or self-tape auditions.

5 Effective Tips to Teach Your Child the Value of Self-Discipline

Empowered Kids, Family

Discover the value of self-discipline that can shape your child’s journey to responsibility and self-mastery.

Self-discipline is an essential skill that parents should teach their children early in life. It helps them resist unhealthy temptations, endure discomfort associated with goal-setting, and delayed gratification.

The best way to teach your child self-discipline is by consistently setting reasonable and attainable expectations for them through consistent communication and reinforcement that help shape positive behavior.

Children who acquire self-discipline tend to have higher academic achievements, better decision-making skills, and stronger relationships with others.

By instilling self-discipline in your child, you are setting them up for a better future and building a solid foundation for a healthy parent-child relationship.

Learn the secrets to nurturing a sense of self-discipline in your child with these effective tips:

1. Build self-discipline into a routine.
2. Explain the reason for your rules.
3. Set consequences for their actions.
4. Reward good behavior.
5. Make self-discipline a habit.

Empowered Kids, Success & Personal Development

Transitions are a part of growing up. The older they get, the more complex the changes are that happen around children. As a parent, it isn’t easy to see your child go through challenging times. It’s also hard at times to avoid taking their behavior personally, but it’s important to remember that they are going through many changes and need your support.

1. Understand what they are going through
2. Don’t take their behavior personally
3. Let them know you are there for them
4. Help them find their support network
5. Encourage them to stay connected to hobbies and interests outside the home
6. Keep the lines of communication open

Transitions can be difficult for everyone, but especially for children. By understanding their situation and supporting them in finding their support network, you, as a parent, may help your child through these changes.

How To Help Your Child Stop Negative Self-Talk

Confidence & Self-Esteem, Success & Personal Development

All children occasionally criticize themselves. However, if their inner voice consistently uses poor language towards them, it may have a negative impact.

Negative self-talk can take many forms. It can seem realistic, such as “I’m not that good at this, so I shouldn’t really bother trying it,” or it can sound outright cruel, like “I can never do anything right!”. It may appear to be a realistic assessment of a situation at hand (e.g., “I barely passed that test. I guess I’m really not good at math.”), but it can quickly turn into a terrible declaration (“I’ll probably fail this class and never get into university”).

This negative self-talk disrupts our children’s productivity and life goals. If they constantly have negative thoughts in their head throughout the day, these thoughts might make them feel disappointed, angry, helpless, or depressed.

Parents should take it seriously when negative self-talk becomes frequent and causes issues at school or with friends. Eliminating negative self-talk is one of the most critical mindset shifts you can make in your child’s life. Although everyone seems to understand the importance of this change, the majority of people still struggle with it.
