Has anyone had no experience with acting and gotten a good role?

Question

In a play, on TV maybe? Just curious, have you tried out for a role with no experience and gotten the part? Or another role even?

Answer 1

People usually sign up for acting/modeling classes and get an agent. the agent arranges for them to audition for a talent scout. When people say they where discovered in a mall or something its because the agent saw them. (in most cases). Barbizon is a world wide agency that offers acting classes. Just because you take the classes does not mean you will get work. And does not mean they will sign as your agent.  And yes you have to pay for the classes.  Not all places work that way, but many do. Just remember  they DO NOT guarantee work and if they tell you that you will get work if you take their classes they are not trustworthy.

My great Aunt was an Actress and My cousin is now. My son just started taking classes, If it never gets him a job, it will teach him confidence.

Answer 2

i know that lucy from narnia hadn't had any real experience before she got the part

Answer 3

I take acting classes but I have never gotten a role. You dont need experience but it looks good on your reusume. But its not nessacary. For example, if you try out for a part it could come down to two people ( experience, no experience) but ethier could go home with the prize. Some people just have natural talent and some people, trained or not sometimes have not talent whatsoever.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

I have a ton of experience and I must say it really, really, really, helps you get a role. From personal experience I can tell you that a good looking resume can win you a part over someone of equal ability. Of course, there are exceptions such as Miley Cyrus who simply had connections because of her father and Ali Lohan who ahs no talent and has a record deal because of her last name. Also, if you have outstanding raw talent there is a slight chance of getting a good role. Hope I could help.

Answer 5

all real agents are free.

and only get 10-20 % of the money you make doin commercials etc.

if some1 says you ahve to pay them for them to be your agent they their a scam!

and you need to bget experience cause it will look great on your resume example:

acting classes

singing classes

plays(major roles wouild look great)
