How can I get a talent agent to represent me in LA?

I%26#039;m a struggling actress and I%26#039;ve been submitting my headshot and resumes as well as my cover letters to various (and legit) talent agencies in Hollywood and LA, and I havent been getting any replies what so ever. I%26#039;ve attended many casting workshops, showcases, acting classes....and still no luck. I will never give up because I%26#039;m extremely dedicated, determind, persistant, and I have perseverance for what is to come. Acting in mainstream entertainment film industry is my dream, but it is a long process and it is a little frustrating with no luck. If anyone has any connections, any more advice to offer, or would be willing to help me out in anyway possible, it would be greatly and beyond appreciated. Thank You.

I%26#039;m with you too so your not the only one. I%26#039;m having the same problem. But remember that a lot of agencies get many many many candidates for this industry all the time. It might take a few weeks to a month to get a call or letter. My friend had the same problem so she just keep sending in her stuff to the same people with a couple of different agencies and she finally got a call now she has many wanting her. That whats she telling me to do and I hope it works. Also make sure that they represent what you want to get into. Some only does theater or some do all. Also if you do get a call from one and then you audition for a role and land it make sure you have a permit in the industry flied you can get one at childrenflims.com. Also just don%26#039;t send your stuff to them sign up on there website if you can. I live in Texas and I almost sent my stuff to one where I live but found out they only do ages 5-15 and I just trued 16 so that was a downer. But keep your head up high. What you want will happen if you want it bad enough like you say you do.

Same principle as with all casting Agencies, perseverence is the key.





But you also need to lead in from the ground up. Remember, casting agencies get hundreds and thousands of applications, its fairly certain you could wait 6 months to a year to hear back from them, and thats IF you have something that interests them. Then you also need to consider the very real possibility that a lot of these agencies will not read through every single applicant. They will look to see if a name is recognizable, and process from there, or add the name to a database and keep track of you from there.





To enhance your chances, move to US and register with any legit agency, and take all the work you can get. Theatre, Adverts. For the main agencies anywhere to sign you, you need to get noticed, but to be noticed you need to be there and be seen. It%26#039;s going to be a long hard struggle, so never give up. Move to US and work whatever legit work you can find. Every 6 months send out your resume and keep doing your best and learning your craft.
Reply:Same thing with me, There are millions of people like us. But I have it worst... I dont live in LA. I live in CHICAGO with like only 1 or 2 legit agencies that actually can help you.

Does anybody know any funny or serious plays that only require two actors?

It would be done by two 19 year olds and preferably a 2 act show, thanks!
Does anybody know any funny or serious plays that only require two actors?
Any plays can be done by 2 people.





A great one to choose would be %26#039;Talking Heads%26#039; by Alan Bennet, a comedy.





I did one of the scenes, based in a group therapy session, as a monologue, acting all the roles, simply by identifying each individual character with their own distinct voice and a hat/wig.





This could easily be done with 2 people, considering I did it alone.





My friend and I also worked a 2 man show of A Christmas Carol.





Really you could do any play you want, just sit down and tweak it to your needs. Pick a play you both enjoy and run with it.





Your only other choice really is Waiting for Godot, but it can be tough to pull off as its a quite intellectual comedy play.

Jekyll and Hyde::








The book begins with two men, Mr. Utterson and his cousin Mr. Richard Enfield, on a walk in London. Although the two men are initially silent, after passing a mysterious cellar door in a basement, Mr. Enfield launches into a strange occurrence that centered around the door. Late one night, while he was on his way home, he chanced upon a deformed, short man who trampled a girl in the street who was on her way to get a doctor. The girl%26#039;s family and Mr. Enfield catch the mysterious man and instead of getting the police, they decide to blackmail him and force him to give the girl%26#039;s family money. Agreeable, the mysterious man disappears into the same cellar door and comes out with a check bearing not his own name, but that of the respectable Dr. Jekyll. Surprisingly, the check was not a forgery.





After hearing the story, Utterson returns to his home where he removes Dr. Jekyll%26#039;s mysterious will, which he recently filed with Mr. Utterson. Jekyll%26#039;s will stated that in case of his death, his substantial estate will pass to Mr. Hyde, but even stranger, in case of his disappearance for more than three months, Hyde will assume Jekyll%26#039;s life without delay. He also realizes that the mysterious door is connected, in an L shape way, to Jekyll%26#039;s home. Utterson decides that Jekyll is being blackmailed by Hyde and seeks to search to see his face in order to understand why. After tracking him down, he is initially civil but turns angry when Utterson proceeds in the conversation.





One year later, Hyde murders Sir Danvers Carew with a cane. With help from Utterson, the police find Hyde%26#039;s apartment ransacked. After leaving, Utterson proceeds to Jekyll%26#039;s and confronts him for harboring a murder. Jekyll claims that he is done with Hyde and promises that he has nothing left to do with him. He does, however, have a farewell note from Hyde. Utterson examines the note and his clerk, Mr. Guest, later discovers that the handwriting from the note matches a dinner invitation written by Dr. Jekyll. Angrily, Utterson assumes that Jekyll has forged a letter for a murderer.





More time passes, and we learn that although Hyde has not been located, Dr. Jekyll becomes more and more social until one day Utterson attended a dinner party at Jekyll%26#039;s where Lanyon was present. Shortly there after, Jekyll secluded himself and Dr. Lanyon fell ill and died. After his death, Dr. Lanyon left Jekyll a letter than instructed him not to read it for ten years. After these mysterious events, Enfield and Utterson again walk by the mysterious door. Through one of the windows, they witness Jekyll having a frightening seizure through the windows of the cellar.





About a week later, Poole, Jekyll%26#039;s butler, approaches Utterson, who is afraid because Jekyll has locked himself in the basement and the only things that hear is strange sounds, including crying. The only communication that has come is letters desperately asking for a specific type of salt. Utterson follows Poole to Jekyll%26#039;s house and breaks down a red cabinet where the body of Hyde is found. In the laboratory, the two discover a large envelope addressed to Mr. Utterson. Inside, Jekyll urges Utterson to read the package from Lanyon and if he wished to know more, read the further description that Jekyll provided within the envelope.





Lanyon%26#039;s narrative begins by describing a strange letter he received from Henry Jekyll, the night after a dinner party at Jekyll%26#039;s residence. The letter urges Lanyon to go to Jekyll%26#039;s house and get the contents of a drawer in the laboratory. Afterwards, a strange caller will come to Lanyon%26#039;s house in Jekyll%26#039;s name and recover these same items, powder, a phial, and a paper book. Lanyon does as much, thinking that Jekyll is crazy, and Mr. Hyde appears at the subscribed time. He gives Hyde the ingredients; Hyde mixes them into a potion, and after drinking it transforms into Dr. Jekyll. This shock, the pure evilness of the situation, was what brought about Lanyon%26#039;s subsequent death.





After reading the account of Dr. Lanyon, Utterson then reads Jekyll%26#039;s own account of his failed experiment. Jekyll believed that the soul is made up of two separate distinctions: evil and the good. These two separate beings live in continuous and inherent conflict with each other. Slowly, Jekyll begins an experiment where he makes two potions and transforms himself into Edward Hyde. Shortly after becoming Hyde, he drinks a second potion and once again becomes Henry Jekyll. This experiment begins Jekyll%26#039;s exploration of his other self, a side that he freely explores and feels no remorse for the negative and evil actions of Mr. Hyde.





For some months, this behavior continued until one moment, %26quot;I had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, I had awakened Edward Hyde.%26quot; Alerted that the character of Hyde might irrevocably stay, Jekyll chose to give up the freedom of Hyde and for two months his decision held weight. Unfortunately, he was tortured with Hyde%26#039;s longing and he once again took the potion and brutally murdered Carew. Because of the manhunt for Hyde, he swore this character off forever and set out to try to remedy the evil.





This, however, failed because Hyde was an irrevocable part of Jekyll%26#039;s character. One night, while contemplating the deeds of Hyde, Jekyll was once again transformed into Edward Hyde. Realizing that he could not return to his house, he sent the letter to Dr. Lanyon and Mr. Poole and went immediately to a hotel. He went home once again but every time he would fall asleep, he would revert to Mr. Hyde. Soon, his potions began to fail to work and he ran out of the salt needed for the potion. Hyde launches a desperate search across London for this potion, but was unsuccessful. In the end, Hyde kills himself and therefore lets both Jekyll and Hyde free.

its called The Universal Language by david Ives and this whole play this woman comes into a place to learn the language of una munda, and shes conviced it stopped her stuttering, but the whole thing is actually a scam and at the end they decide to work together, its kind of hard to explain you just kinda have to read it oh and the male has verry wacky lines like

Kipps hopes that doing so will help him purge his memories of the events.It%26#039;s a flesh-creeping journey to eerie marshlands, amid moaning winds and silence-shattering screams...a ghost ride that will keep you jumping with fear





If you guys are very good at comedy %26quot;A GREATER TUNA%26quot; its two guys but each play like a dozen roles each.





Kiss of the Spider Woman is a great play by Maunuel Puig will tell you one of the charactes is gay but if your mature enough you can do it.

Reply:You could look at Gangster Apparel by Richard Vetere. Here is a synopsis:


Cast: 2m. %26quot;A madcap spoof of gangster movies.%26quot; (N.Y. Times) Smalltime hoods Louie and Joey are about to go out on the hit of a lifetime. But Louie tells Joey that clothes make the man and his lack of style is holding back their careers. To Louie, style is everything: the suits you wear, your haircut, the way you hold your gun. Dressed to perfection, they go out on the hit- a big success, except that they are identified by an eyewitness who remembers Joey%26#039;s snazzy yellow pocket handkerchief! Locked in a cell, Louie decides that they%26#039;re not going to spend 25 years to life in orange prison jumpsuits. Louie spills all to the feds about %26quot;the Boss%26quot; and gets himself and Joey into a witness protection program- unfortunately it%26#039;s in a remote section of Arizona where the fashion statement is jeans, plaid shirts and boots! Joey thrives there; Louie is miserable and, through an indiscreet phone call, leads the Boss%26#039; hit men to them. A play about friendship, betrayal and the battle of style over substance. %26quot;Offbeat charm and lots of laughs.%26quot; (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Three simple sets.

you need the union you or you agent is a part of but put it on and put none if you dont hae one same thing with agent
Acting Resume help?
You should separate film, theater, television, modeling, and commercials into 5 different groups. I don%26#039;t really think that Girl Scouts is really a skill, unless you mean it as you are really good with promoting things, such as girl scout cookies, which is really good for commercial advertising. And training comes after your experience on a resume. But since you have none, you can start taking acting classes somewhere close to you. But everything else looks good to me.

Is acting a good job?

im 14 and for my whole life ive wanted to become an actress but when i was about 10 my mum said that there is no work(good pay jobs) so when ppl asked me what i wanted to do i would say dream or reality so my dream is to become an actress and reality is to fly in the R.A.F. so when i moved into my dads house i asked if i could go to this acting thing which teaches you on a saturday morning but then you get filming as well so 3 girlsd in my class do this and there always having a few days of school my dad said no as its too much money (拢192) a term but yesurday morning he had found this school where you drop all lessons ex maths english , science %26amp; ict i was really happy but then i hit will i get any work at the end of it cause i want to give my future kids anything they wish for.so what shall i do ?

Is acting a good job?
It is best one, but u should hard work. many preperations are there. if u want to become an actress, then u should be lost manythings. But somebody told there is no work, but it is not true.
Reply:Acting is a good job. Do not drop everything else as you need something as a backup if the acting fails. If you are serious and want to appear on TV, I would recommend you get an agent. They take commission on your earnings and do NOT take an upfront payment. The acting world is cruel so you need to become accustomed to the word %26#039;no%26#039;. It may not be that you are not talented, but your face might not suit the part. Go to drama classes on a Saturday so you can keep up with your studies also.
Reply:can you act like it is,,,
Reply:Yes and no, totally depends on your expectations. I am a working actress. I love my job. But you should first decide if you want to be an %26quot;actress%26quot; or a %26quot;celebrity%26quot;. These are two different subjects. You can work as an actress at theatres, if you get lucky in movies. But noone can say if or even you%26#039;ll be famous. Besides, if you care about fame, you might end up at a strip club. (Because fame hunger and obsessions are very distracting).





You should also know acting is too much work and STRESS! People just see movie stars at premieres and when they party. All of them wake up around 4-5 AM to get to work. You can have scenes any time in the day. You may get sick to your stomach but you still have to be on stage if you have a show. It%26#039;s also a very stressful job. Even if you%26#039;re not famous and not stalkes by paparazzies, you%26#039;ll find yourself worrying about your performance everyday. You%26#039;re gonna work with your body. You need to stay healthy, pay extra attention on your sleeping hours, you may have to dye your hair to the color you hate, you may cut your hair off, gain weight, lose weight...etc etc And God forbid, if something happens to your body/voice, you%26#039;re gonna be unemployed.





Don%26#039;t give up on your dreams. But be realistic and always have a B plan. I strongly recommend you to get an education about something else as well.

Does anyone prefer Dorothy GIsh to Lillian Gish?

If so, why? She generally seems to be in her sister%26#039;s shadow...
Does anyone prefer Dorothy GIsh to Lillian Gish?
Sadly, there are few films left with Dorothy%26#039;s performances in them to make any kind of accurate assessment of her talents,. The obvious one is %26quot;Orphans of the Storm%26quot;, where she and Lillian play sisters, but Dorothy having to play blind limits her role extensively. She does her part well, and is overshadowed by Lillian, but then, Mr. Griffith preferred (and coached) Lillian%26#039;s emoting style to fit his vision of her and the characters she played.


From the scant evidence, I%26#039;d have to say that ,ultimately, I prefer Lillian as an actress--her range and power were dynamic, when she turned them on, and her ability to convey nuance was just as good as could be---and when she finally left Griffith%26#039;s tutelage and went on stage and on to other films, she was hard to beat. My parents, who actually saw Miss Lillian play Lizzie Bordon in a stageplay, were electrified by her chilling interpretation---and her later filmwork, in films as varied as Island in the Sun, Night of the Hunter, The Whales of August and her comic turn in Sweet Liberty, showed her abilities remained vital even as a senior senior.


...But Dorothy was prettier...

Acting Jobs?
Try your local community theater. Finish school.
Acting Jobs?
start out small. go to your local community theater and do every show that you can and have time to do. make sure you still have time for school. check out your schools plays and musicals too. finish school and go on to major in something in showbiz. then eventually you can do it professionally wether in a movie, TV or on Broadway!


break a leg鈾?br>Reply:I agree, finish school. That is most important. We are a nation of quick fix and whatever is easy lets take it. Life is not easy, it just is not. So stay in school, look for a casting agent to help you with booking some work while in still in school. This is a very difficult business, but if your heart is in it, you should go for it. After school go to college and major in drama. Best of luck.
Reply:may your personalty may not good.
Reply:you have to start small to end big, go to your local community theater and do as many plays as you can (even behind stage is good experience) Be in drama at school and even do school plays. You want to build up your resume a lot before you start TV work. After you do some plays see if there are any acting agencies around you that have classes or workshops for beginning actors/actresses. Then get headshots (most actresses/actors have black and white, but i would get a few of black and white and color.) Then you might want to look into getting an agent there the best source of information for TV or professional theater auditions -- and never pay for anything. Start with doing commercials (most actors/actresses start that way) then you can do bigger things. Also a great thing to put on a resume are sports do you do sports can you sing, dance, taken lessons? Good Luck! :)

I am currently enrolled on the BA (Hons) Theatre Studies at Rose Bruford College, and am studying via Distance Learning.

Les Miserables musical?

Where can I watch for free the entire show, either Broadway or West End on the net?..
Les Miserables musical?
have u tried you tube?


or your local library?????????


they might have a copy
Les Miserables musical?
ya it is.
Reply:You shouldn%26#039;t be able to. Sorry, but any copy you find anywhere for free is pirated (read, %26quot;stolen%26quot;) and deprives wages from everyone involved in the musical. Plus, there%26#039;s nothing like going to the theate and witnessing an event like Les Mis in the company of others. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Every penny. Save your money and buy a ticket and don%26#039;t steal from actors, directors, composers, and musicians by rying to get stolen and inferior versions of their work
Reply:I do not believe it is even available by legally purchasing the DVD or download. All I can find is the concert version for the various anniversaries of Les Mis that they have at Royal Albert hall every 5 years. That is the DVD I own.





I agree -- don`t deprive composers playwrights and actors of their money by going for pirated anything.

I need to memorize a part in the play a midsummers night dream. I lost my sheet so does anyone know the part??

Me and my partner are doing the part of puck and fairy. I am puck, and my partner is fairy. I believe it is act 2 scene 1. I start with: %26quot;how do spirit! Wither wander you? and then fairy says her speech then i say the king doth keep his revels here tonight...take heed the queen come not within his sight.


Also, does anyone have any memorizing strategies for me?

I would advise you to obtain another copy from it%26#039;s original source. Whilst it is all shakespeare the wording can vary slightly from printing company to printing company.





As for memorising your lines - practice, practice, practice!Read and re-read, it will eventually become second nature to you. Start with a paragraph if you like, then once you have it memorised go on to the second and so on until you can say it aloud start to finish. Once you are confident that you know it, give your lines to a friend so she/he can follow on whilst you say your lines aloud. This way your friend can make notes and let you know if you are skipping over lines, words or saying things incorrectly.

Go to this website: www.gutenberg.org. Search for Shakespeare and look up A Midsummer Night%26#039;s Dream. You%26#039;ll find it there.

I am really talented and determined. It%26#039;s kind of like I know I %26#039;m going to get there I just have to get there. I%26#039;ve been looking on craigslist, bacstage, backpage, casting dept., freecasting calls and more. and I havn%26#039;t gotten much. I%26#039;m going to an audition next week i found on craigslist but I NEED MORE! I want to get as many things in my almost non-existing resume as I can. I %26#039;m getting pictures taken for my file but I don%26#039;t know what else to do. I%26#039;m just 14 years old. I want this so bad though, I don%26#039;t want to give up but I feel like I%26#039;m in over my head. Staying on the computer for hours on hours hounding for auditions. I really need help, advice, anything (even though I already know the basics like, don%26#039;t contact agencies till you are ready, take some calsses-which I have yet to do, have a head shot and full body shot, have a good resume, don%26#039;t pay up-front legit angencies take about 15% of your paycheck) Please if you have anything on auditions in houston, please TELL ME
Where can I find auditions?
Hey!





You%26#039;re just like me, I love acting also! I don%26#039;t live in houston but here%26#039;s a cool place I found while I was on the web http://www.nextactor.com/ I%26#039;m pretty sure u have to pay but you could get that just for experience. Another thing also is maybe go and ask them about community theatres! Because those are amazing to work in! So try to find someone who does theatre (maybe at that place) and ask them about community theatre!





Laterzz,


Becky
Where can I find auditions?
Check out Variety magazine. Also, the best way to find auditions is through networking. Get involved with your local community theater. You may not be acting at first, but it will be a great way to make contacts.
Reply:well, You can search on the Internet on sites like


www.play auditions in Houston.com Or if you have a community center you can ask if there is any classes you can sing up for and if there is go for it, but ask your parents first. I know you can do it cause belief in you!!

Try http://www.surfthechannel.com/tv/ which is where I catch up with Heroes, which is on the BBC but not available on iplayer (and iplayer only has stuff for a week). I notice it has a Proms category on the Music tab, but it doesn%26#039;t seem to load anything. Keep checking back, or use the community page.





Or you can try one of these YouTube vids http://www.youtube.com/results?search_qu...

Acting Agent?

how do you go about getting an acting agent for an under 16 year old?





also how can you tell whether that particular agen is worth having?
Acting Agent?
ive been asking the same thing. you cant really find a %26quot;perfect agent%26quot; that is worth having, because when you get an agent you have to form a bond with him or her to get better aquainted. with that said, if you have headshots and a resume with any sort of acting experience, staple those together and find out agents in your area (look for books for agents) and send your things out to them. hopefully you get your shot, thats what im doing.
Acting Agent?
Your parents have to get one for you. they should follow the advice in Acting as a Business by Brian O%26#039;Neil.





The better agents are SAG or AEA franchised. They will advertise this or you can ask them.

What can I do to get over my stage fright?

Me and my friend were making up a dance to a song. We practice a lot and feel like we should show our school on stage. We really have stage fright and we have no idea on what to do about it. Can you please help me?
What can I do to get over my stage fright?
Breathe! lol dont think about what you are doing. Just pretend you are practicing at home. whenever i do preformance i do that and it works!
What can I do to get over my stage fright?
Get out of the box, me being an inspiring actress, it%26#039;s hard because I%26#039;m scared sometimes too, but you have to put yourself in a different perspective or have an alto ego and pretend to be a fearless different person while your on stage, trust me it works!!
Reply:i love to be on stage, but at the same time, i get really nervous. It%26#039;s best to just jump in the ring and have fun!! you%26#039;ll gain confidence from that experience, which will make it easier next time!!
Reply:Just believe in urself! There%26#039;s nuthin 2 b afraid of. . .I%26#039;m sure even the best performers get stage fright ^^
Reply:Here%26#039;s what you do, puts your eyes on the back of the wall (what ever wall is behind the audience) don%26#039;t look anywhere else (they%26#039;ll think your looking at them but your not) break a leg
Reply:umm. you can try and look at somewhere else other than the audience.. like.. look at their shoulders instead of their eyes and focus on that.. so it would seem like you are looking at them but you are not. or you can imagine that they are something funny.. like they are all fishes or something.. whatever that put you at ease.. hope this helps. it works on television :D
Reply:See if you can get access to the stage you%26#039;d be using before you actually do the show. That%26#039;ll give you a sort of taste of what it%26#039;ll be like, plus its good practice.





Then try it with some family members or friends in the audience so that you get used to people looking at you.





And last, see if you can use the lights available to you to your advantage. If lights are pointed at you correctly onstage, you shouldn%26#039;t be able to see the audience much anyways.





Break a leg!
Reply:It%26#039;s especially hard to perform in front of your peers. But, you just have to tell yourself that you%26#039;ve worked too hard to give up because of stage fright. Stage fright is the only thing standing between you and what you want - to dance on stage. Tell yourself that you are both worth it, and that in the scheme of things, it doesn%26#039;t really matter! Try to turn that nervous energy into excitement and focus! Good luck!

Theatrical divices to make Alice fall down the rabbit hole?

I need some theatrical divices that make Alice appear to be falling down the rabbit hole in %26quot;Alice in Wonderland%26quot;. The more abstract and creative the better!
Theatrical divices to make Alice fall down the rabbit hole?
I believe that was done once already, by the Master of illusionists! The man who wrote the book.
Theatrical divices to make Alice fall down the rabbit hole?
you could have a trap door on stage for her to fall in and then close the curtains for a lil %26#039;break%26#039; like they do on tvs for commercial breaks and then when it starts again, have like a black tunnel at the top of the stage and a camouflaged matress (painted green for the grass) for alice to land on when she comes out the tunnel!
Reply:Do you want to depict the events while she is falling, or just going from up to down?





For the %26quot;while falling,%26quot; get Alice onto a platform perhaps 7%26#039; from the ground. Run a narrow scrim behind her, with rear projection onto it of the passing scenery of the hole. Pull some items up past her on wires, for the items she plucks from the walls. Use a nice fan, if possible, for the wind of her falling.
Reply:You could have a blackout but just have the sounds of her falling down, or if possible, you could have a film on a screen of falling down a hole from her perspective while she%26#039;s still on the stage.


Hope I helped :-)
Reply:The way my school did it wasn%26#039;t very abstract or anything, but it worked.





We had that first part before she fell out on the apron with the curtain closed. We had the mirror on top of the fireplace (the mirror was really just a frame) then when Alice is looking for the white rabbit she had to climb on top of the fire place, and as she was reaching down for the paper she fell through the %26quot;mirror.%26quot; We had her fall on some padding so that it wouldn%26#039;t make a noise that time, then had her sneak behind the curtain (the fireplace in front of where she%26#039;d come in through so that no one would notice) then she%26#039;d go to center stage, sit down, make a loud sound with her hands on the stage so its like she fell right there, then opened the curtains.





Sorry, lots of explaining for a not-so-great illusion.
Reply:When Alice is on stage, have a brown- colored light shine onto the center of the stage. Once she steps into it, you can have stroble lights come on, which really adds a cool effect, and the audience will get that something wierd%26#039;s happening. Have the brown light expand and expand until it%26#039;s not just a small pool of light anymore, but takes up the whole stage. And Alice can be acting like she%26#039;s tumbling around, while really just running and spinning around on stage. The strobe lights will help that look more jerky and awkward.

Is Trauqe talent agency a scam?

Don%26#039;t think so. But they are quite exclusive, representing only 300 models.

Acting UK/USA is it possible.?

I totally love acting so much. I do wanna do school plays but they suck so bad. I Live in the UK and i need to build up like a extra or something, but i want to do stuff in america, ya%26#039;kno. And yes i know u have 2 start small first, But like nothing happens here, i mean i dont wanna get stuck on eastenders as my acting career but i need to do sumthing. I know a really good site which has disneychannel audtions atm, there gna bring in a new show, it starts production in september and they are still taking people on, they said by mail only, i have the adress should i go for it, and while im over there do a film or something?! x
Acting UK/USA is it possible.?
It seems to me that you care a bit more about being hired immediately to work in a TV show and less about developing a craft. That will get you nowhere; for one thing there are a million actors who are going to go for those roles that have experience and for another thing there are many of us here in the states competing for jobs. Its not as easy as you%26#039;re making it out to be.





I%26#039;ll agree that perhaps the school plays aren%26#039;t the greatest. That being said you live in the UK; there is a GRAND theater tradition there! Take advantage of it and LEARN YOUR CRAFT.





Then worry about being a movie star. You can do a lot worse than being on Eastenders. I could use a job and if they%26#039;re hiring, I%26#039;ll take it!
