Hi there, I'm working with Moho Productions, the company behind artists including Nickelodeon's Ashley Argota. They are dedicated to helping teen and preteen artists promote positive messages. I'd like to bring the company founders on and maybe book one of their artists on to perform. How do I go about it?
Here there Ms. Tyra Babbbbayyyy. :o) Thisis a great topic, and one that is discussed in my household and at various auditions for my daughter on the regular. She is 7 and has been doing some modeling since she was about 18 months. She is now crossing over into the acting arena and my husband and I have always told her that whenever any of this isn't fun for her anymore, it's time for her to stop. Initially, people encouraged me that she had the look and so forth so we tried it to see if she'd like it because she was so young. She absolutely loved it (cried because she didn't want to leave the set, etc.). Now that she's older and getting even more professional projects, SHE loves it even more and encourages me as her MOM-anger to get her more gigs. She was contacted by a company in Beverly Hills to rep her back in April and I tell you we are being so careful that we are still checking out the agency and the contract has not yet been executed. My goal is to make sure that this is ultimately what she wants to CONTINUE doing and make sure we as parents protect her as much as she can. Additionally, we express to her that not only does she have to want to do this herself, she knows her education comes first. She is a blessed little child...she's been able to continue being an honor student (as a matter of fact she just won 2009 Student of the Year and 2009 Most Well Rounded Student) and continue working towards what she calls her "Disney" career. God has blessed her with a look, talent and our ultimate goal is just to be there to nuture her gifts
I'd like to assisent her to be the better
I ndon't have any kids, but I have Godkids. I would push, motivate, and inspire, but I would not under any circumstance pressure them to do anything.
My 11 year old daughter has an agent and she started at 9 years old. I always ask her what she wants. We have driven to an audition before and she has changed her mind and we left. She tells me she wants to be an actor and I will do anything within my means to assist her in that, but it she says she doesn't want to do it any more then that is it. We are trusting God with her future. This may not be what God has in store for her. Nonetheless, it is preparing her for something. I always tell her to have FUN!!! My goal is to protect her and I will without putting any undue stress on her. If it is meant to be God will put the right people in her path!!!
When my daughter was around 6 years old she went through a modeling school. We did this for about a year then SHE wanted to quit. I didn't push her to do anything she didn't want to do. So all these stage moms/dads, need to really sit down and talk to their kids to see if this is what they really want.
one more think. sorry it just popped into my head but u should have all your shows the hole show posted on ur site for everyone to watch cuz i never know wat time ur channel ur on. it would just be easier if it was online. and its always there... thanks
Hi Tyra, omg! On June 9th you came in to Down To Earth on maui and i was the cashier that rang you up. I never said what i wanted to say because i was in shock so im going to say it now... i love ur shows. ANTM and the tyra show. i love the message ur trying to portry to young girls and women and all the other topics u talk about too. U have helped me with my self esteam and and making me feel pretty. i wanted to tell u that but once i knew it was really u after handing me ur credit card i was soo nervous. i shoulda told u when u were there cuz that was like a once in a life time thing. The only reason im writing on this thing is because i know u really read them like ur one show u did on answering peoples comments. im a big fan!!!
Hello!! I'm watching the show on moms doing anything to make their kids stars. Tyra, I love your show, I record every single show, but this one, um, it's a really good topic but I think you need to go back and watch your reaction and producers reaction!!!! I agree with you, but your overall reaction was like: "stop acting like that!!!!" You kept referring to the audience reaction of what the parents were willing to do (again, I dont agree with what they were willing to do)and of course you're going to get a reaction!!! If you would had said eating carrots is bad for kids, the audience would have reacted according to what your reaction would have been. If you go back and watch yourself, I think you'll understand what I'm talking about. The parents did not have a fair trial. It's always about: "tell me what happened to you" so if you're gay, it's because something happened to you to make you gay. If you hate your race, ok "tell me what happened to you as a child" if you don't like the color pink "something your parents did made you hate pink". Ofcourse something happened. Isnt it obvious? Anyway, I love your topics but I feel sometimes you OVER React!!! thanks!!!
i have already been in that position with my daughter who is now20 years old. At 11 years old i put her through modeling school and when she finish we started to get calls for her to model ,but the jobs i felt were to old for her and not appropriate for her age group ,so i end up turning them down and told my daughter if she wanted to model she would have to wait till she was 18 when she could make her own decission
hi tyra ma name is cathy from Kenya {Africa}had a querry.ma boyfriend has a kid with his long term girlfriend..the lady is insisting that ma boyfrind should marry her now that they both have a bond here.. the guy is not ready to marry her but gives her the necessary support.. should i quit this relationship coz i'm very jelous bout him seeing her frequently for the sake of the kid..
hi tyra if i have a baby and already a teen i would talk to them let them have freedom. i would not lock my kid cause that makes it worst i would tell her you better get good grade in skool to go out side and party like teen does. but i would always have contact with my child even my self would go with her.
I would not put make-up on my child nor plastic surgery. A little just for lighting purposes would be okay. Plastic surgery might give the child the message that there is something wrong with their own looks or them. As for a backstage mom, they can have an agent and i will sit in the audience. Acting or whatever would have to be a hobby to regular life, they can choose at 18 to pursue anything else. thx for your time
This is a good show idea. I don't have kids but if I did i would probably try to talk them out of show business until they were at least 18. That business is just too much for kids.
Dear Tyra, I love your show. I especally liked this one it was very shocking I couldn't not believe was parents were willing to do for there kids to be famous. It made me sick I almost wanted my mom to tell my mother to turn the channel. I the only reason I kept watching was becase I was curious about what the man had to say. And it was't what I was expecting but, I was glad someone had their head on straight.
