About the audition
A children's TV presenter audition assesses whether you can inform and entertain young viewers while keeping their welfare central. The panel looks for clear age-appropriate language, playful but controlled delivery, sound safeguarding judgement and the ability to adjust quickly in a studio.
How to prepare
- Choose an age group and practise explaining everyday ideas in short, concrete sentences.
- Rehearse a game introduction with clear rules and a simple example.
- Review the production's safeguarding procedure and know who receives a concern.
- Practise changing your energy, pace or wording immediately after a direction.
- Prepare ways to recover when a cue, prop or demonstration does not work.
Common mistakes
- Using a babyish voice or talking to children as though they cannot think.
- Raising the energy by shouting instead of varying pace and expression.
- Promising to keep a child's concerning disclosure secret.
- Continuing an activity when a child is uncomfortable or wants to stop.
- Freezing when a prop fails or a studio cue changes.
