I love to act, what more can I do?

Question

I have an agent in Portland, Oregon, where I live, and she does nothing. I'm joining an extras agency here at the end of this week. I REALLY, REALLY love acting, I want to devote my life to it! I don't care about being famous or rich, it's my passion. I would love to start getting work, I feel like I have a lot of potential! Are there any websites that I can submit myself to, maybe something Disney Channel? If I were to get an interview or auditon, I would travel to LA for sure! Please help me!

Answer 1

Get a degree,,NYU has a great theatre school..............learn the skills and make some great contacts

Answer 2

Well, i would drop the disney channel idea. Sorry to tell you this, but disney channel shows are very poorly written, and 90 percent of the actors and actresses on their shows are forced to be too big and goofy, making them less of a thespian than they really are. i would start with local things, plays around you, what not. you have to keep your head up and remember that you dont need to be on a screen to act. Keep it up, you can go far with your head in the game.

Answer 3

I disagree with the post about not auditioning for disney. While I do admit there stuff is poorly written and the directing is bad and it doesn't give actors a chance to shine, it is good exposure. It sounds like what you do now is good. I wish I had an agent!
