Become a Nickelodeon Star
Most kids want to become Disney Channel stars, but for other kids who might think that Nickelodeon is better and more suitable, you'd probably not know how to start. Nickelodeon is a very popular channel and you'd be very well known if you're in there, but getting in won't be a piece of cake. Here's how to do it.

Steps
- Remember to stay strong. Nickelodeon is a friendly, bubbly community that will always give you second chances. Because of how popular it is, not a lot of people get to be an actress or actor on Nick, but you shouldn't let that get you down. If you really want to be an actress, be patient, even if it took a couple of years.
- Take acting classes. Before you even think about contacting an agent or even starting your attempt to become a Nick star, you have to have some education in the world of acting. Although it sounds like an insult and you feel that you're totally awesome at acting, you need to be PERFECT. You need to TRANSFORM your acting into a pro if you want to be in Nickelodeon. Take at least three months of acting classes. If you think it's too long, you can go right on ahead and give it your best shot, but you're only making your chance a lot thinner. It'll pay off taking classes. Remember, patience!
- Find an agent. Make sure they are reliable, take a FAIR amount of payment, and they are really doing a good job of finding auditions for you. Finding a good agent will take a month or so, but it will really pay off.
- Make Your Best Application. Write a draft, then choose a great template from Google, and finally type your resume! Taking a good headshot could cost a hundred dollars. You could use an HD camera and take maybe five tries to make it look pro, but that wouldn't be too good.
- You finally got an audition, and you need to calm down! The three locations of Nick are California, New York, and Florida, so you're probably going to get one! You're waiting to audition for the lead role of a new TV show coming out and you don't think you can compete against the other awesome actors. Remember, messing up is something you THINK would be horrible, but it doesn't look as bad as you think. You still have a good chance.
- If you got the part, congratulations and well done! You've made it into stardom and you'll now be rich and famous! The excitement is overwhelming and powerful, and you can't believe you're going to be on TV! You'll win awards and rub elbows with Victoria Justice and Spongebob and Miranda Cosgrove! You'll be able to join Brain Surge and more! If you did NOT get the part don't be upset! Because guess what? They now know who you are and you already have a headshot, resume, and talent agent! A second try will be a whole lot easier than the first, right? And you don't HAVE to be on Nickelodeon! You could try Disney, ABC Family, Cartoon Network, and more! And if you decide to stick on Nickelodeon, trying again will be a piece of cake because now you know what to do. Be cheerful!
Tips
- Make sure your parents are on board if you're under 18. Being young is even better because Nickelodeon is always looking for young kids to star in their shows.
- Remember this might not actually happen. So don't worry if you don't get in, and don't let it get you down.
Warnings
- Keep in touch with your schoolwork because all of this auditioning and effort could stress you out and lower your grades.
- Nickelodeon probably won't accept you at all, not on your second try or third try. Nickelodeon needs good actors, and they will want pros. A few more years of hard work could really lead you up to something even bigger than Nickelodeon.
- Don't get grouchy. All of this work can get you tired and you'll be even more stressed and you'll probably decide to give up. Don't do this. Life will always hold opportunities and you CAN'T give up because this is probably the biggest one!
