Additional Information Her personal website www.maddiek.com contains more videos and information about Madeline. Her voice since making her last demo has grown incredibly so it really has to be heard in person. They are not professional videos and the sound quality is not great.
Recently Maddie was voted national 11yr. old NES Princess, overall most beautiful and Madline is Jr Teen Miss Connecticut Tourism 2010 as well as the Connecticut state finalist for National American Miss. Much of her modeling experience comes from pageantry. Pageants make extensive use of modeling and have strict scoring rules.

When she gets up and sings in public the MC tells the audience to remember her name because she is going to be a star someday, something her family has known her entire life. Some people have star quality and Madeline falls into that category. She could sing before she could talk.
Please take the opportunity to interview Maddie in person. What cannot be conveyed in a resume is the heart of the person it is trying to represent. Maddie has an attraction that draws people to her. Small children love her because she is so kind and they think she is pretty. Kids her own age like her because she is so relatable. For all of her accompishments she doesn't see herself as any different than anyone else and would love to go fishing or go for a bike ride. Adults love her because she is a beautiful, respectful, nice person, who sings songs like "Blue Bayou" that they know the words to, and she doesn't wear skimpy clothes or use bad language. Best of all she isn't shy. She has learned the art of conversation at an early age. She has a vocabulary to draw on. She has traveled and is interested in other cultures. Please look beyond just the pretty face. Madeline Kean has so much to offer the world, some day she will take it by storm.
PLEASE NOTE: MADELINE IS 13yrs OLD. Please do not return call backs for auditions and turn her away when she gets there based on her age. The information is in her profile and is all on file. It says she is 12 here. It costs money and takes her out of school to attend auditions. She has valid working papers for NY state and looks and can play much older than her real age, but she IS 13. Thank you, Mary Kean.
