My 9 yr old daughter is joinin acting class next month.do u know anyone who made it as a extra etc by classes?

Question

she wants to be on tv soo bad n they always have ''extras'' in paper. are these real? whats the % she can get somewhere from these? what next after this? ive never been into acting or did anything like this in school. im a cosmetic/body tattooist n i dont know where to start. if she wants this-its on her to do her best. i think she'd be great-she tells lies as stories n believes herself all the time just to get u to listen to her more n more...now she could play out something right..? i think she will learn how to be a better fibber tho.

i dont want her gettin on net from scum. the class is thru city theater show.

any info i should know? thanks

Answer 1

being an extra in a movie isnt that great on a resume, what you should do is get her into local theatre shows, especially shows like annie or shows that have kid roles in it. it is a great thing for an actor to start that young because by the time she is in high school she will have such a great resume and experience that she will be such a key player. good luck to your daughter

Answer 2

She's 9, dont get your hopes up, Try Getting her involved as much as she can until she's 16, then try for an agent, THEN let her audition.

Good Luck!
