Q&A for How to Become a Nickelodeon Star

There is no limit. If you're a Nickelodeon star, you will likely be in at least a few movies along with your show.

Yes. You may have to move if you're accepted, but sometimes producers accept video auditions.

You can audition for the character you want. If you fit the part, you might get it. The directors may also assign you to a different part that they think is more suitable for you.

You can email an audition site or contact the director of a show you would like to star in.

You can be any age, but you need to know how to read to be on Nickelodeon.

You need good grades, but if you're talented enough, there may be some wiggle room. Make sure you are not failing, with a minimum B average.

It depends on how many fans you have. They could decide for you to be part of the nominations. It also depends on how long your show has been aired or how many times you star in shows and movies.

Improvise and try to get to the part you know as quickly as possible. Maybe it will turn out to be better than the actual script!

Ariana Grande was payed $9,000 per episode for her role as Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon's Victorious.

It doesn't matter what age you are.

Yes, it is a very tough industry, and there will be thousands of other people auditioning who want the role as badly as you and are just as talented as you. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

It depends on where you live. (If you live near the spot you're filming at you don't need to worry). If you have a starring role in something, your family (or some members of it) may be willing to relocate to be with you.

It varies based on what the show is looking for, but they will tell you beforehand so you can prepare. They may ask you to come perform a monologue (a long speech from a movie or play) or song of your choosing, or they may just ask you to come in and read from the script they've already written for the show.

Yes, if you are under 18 and going to be on TV, make sure you ask your parents, and get their signed permission if necessary. Also, have a conversation with them about how they would feel as your parents if you were to be a star on Nickelodeon.

It's alright. Include any skills or experience you have in sports or school clubs, awards you've received, and volunteer experience you have.

It completely depends on the role you get and how long you work for Nickelodeon.

If you get an audition on Nick and get the part, you have to move somewhere close to the studio, which is in California. But you don't need to live in America to audition.

If you can find trustworthy agents and companies offering classes, you can ask them upfront and they should be able to tell you. You should also be able to find their rates in their website or on the contract you have to sign when you get their services.

At Nickelodeon's studios in California, but first you have to follow the instructions if you want to meet him.

You can usually find good acting classes that are local. Look for places that are well known. If you can't find a place that has good acting lessons, see if your school or your community center has any drama clubs.

Great. Just try to act as casual and comfortable as you can.

Try to get someone local with a lot of money to help you buy flight tickets. You can start a gofundme page as well.

Usually there are teachers on set and the young actors receive lessons in between shooting scenes.

It should be. There are audition studios everywhere in the USA.

Do a Google search for classes in your area.

It's possible, because you can call or video chat with the director and get sponsors the move to NY, California, or Florida.

Yes, but you may have to move if you are accepted for an audition. They may also accept video auditions if you cannot move there to audition.

It depends. Different shows offer different salaries, and sometimes the salaries can be different based on how big of a star you are.

There are always new shows coming out on Nick. So you will be able to act if you are accepted.

Always have a backup plan!
