Acting help ?

Question

okayy soo i really really want to be an actress..

ive taken classes, both were on camera ones... im going to take one for improv soon .. what else can i do ?

i don't know where to go for plays because my school doesnt have it and my town .. well .. its just kinda not the greatest say lol & my really creepy 40 something neighbor is always in the plays & i dont really wanna be near him lol

anyway .. i wanna go to college for acting but i dont wanna wait 2 more years to do something about it what can i do NOW !?

no online websites like hollywood auditions help because you have to pay .. anyone know how to find independent film or student auditions ? thank you :]

and is there ANY chance i would get hired with no experience but classes and i have no agent because my parents won't support me on getting one..

Answer 1

The next time that you're on the computer, look up talent agencies in your area. Call around to see how they find new people to represent. Most of them hold open calls. They will find other talent scoots that will want to hold audititons.

If you can't find a tlent agency, audition at theatres in your area. The more you audtion, the better you'll get. Good luck! :)

I assume you're in highschool then? If that's the case I'd recommend just checking around about anyone in your school who's into making movies and just telling them you'd be interested in any projects they might be doing.

You could also just google "(area) film makers"

(where area would be where you live, not exactly your city. For example instead of just putting in San Francisco, I'd search Bay Area). Or go on myspace to find film making groups in your area.

It should actually be really easy if you ask around/look around long enough. The important thing is to keep your options open, and just take whatever opportunities you can find (within reason obviously), so that later on in life when you start organizing your portfolio you'll hopefully have enough work to show you're experienced. You can always discard anything that you feel is of bad quality later on down the road.
