He probably won't be asked any questions at all unless a specific skill was asked for. He will go in--alone--and they will say hello and take a few pictures and say goodbye.

In my experience during the last few years with my dd, now also 11, most of the time they don't ask any questions, if it's just for modeling. Sometimes they make small talk, ask if it's still raining outside, ask what her name is, how old, something easy like that. Usually they just snap her photo and we go home with crossed fingers and wait for a call. So it ought to be really quick and easy. If it's for a TV commercial they might engage him more, but mostly just want him to read his lines. Good luck! It's exciting to go on the first go-see! I'm crossing my fingers for him!

One thing I learned in print was to be prepared for anything. We went to go sees where DD was asked to blow a bubble with gum (she couldnt), ask to eat a cheese sandwhich for Kraft (she spit it out on the table and said "ugh")...obviously we didnt book that one Wink....they wanted to see only her hands and fingernails (I started carrying around nail polish remover and a nail file) etc. etc. By the time DD was 11 we had a "be ready for anything bag". Sometimes they want to know if you can swim, if you like or are allergic to dogs, cats etc. (because they may be used in the shoot with you) etc. etc. You just never know. But 90% of the time you just show up, sign in, they take a snapshot of you and you leave. No questions asked.
