Should a child actor practice auditioning at home?

Gabrielle Schary (Casting Director) gives expert video advice on: What should a child actor wear to an audition?; Do parents accompany their child to the audition?; How should a child actor behave during an audition? and more...

If they've been sent the sides and requested to do so, yes. But they need to be careful to practice it the way they would do it or the way the directions from the casting company were sent to them. They should be careful - parents should be careful, not to interpret the role and feed it to the child so that we get the adult's response to that role.
