Q: to start a career in acting would it be best to get an agent?.. if so.. how much are they and where can i get a good one? are there any other ways to get started? thank you!
Hey to start your acting career you should really start at your local community theater. Maybe take a few classes. Be in a few plays and maybe in your highschool or middle school or wherever be in school plays! Oh By the way AGENTS DON'T COST! Yep you read that right. They don't cost. Usually agents look for experience on your resume to see if they would like to represent you. If they do they'll call you and say they will. Then they will look for auditions for you. If you get a job they get a certain amount of money i think around 15-20% of what you earn. See? They dont cost they just take a percentage of what you make on your acting career. Hope I helped!

Q: i cant get over my fear of singing infront of people. my dream is when io finish college is to move to California and become a singer and actressand if that doesnt work then like a phsycologist for kids. i cant even sing infront of my own family. if done it infront of three of my friends but that was it and i wanna sing infront of my mom because i get my talent from her. she has the best voice. i wanna do the talent show too but i cant do that. i get real embarresed when i try singing in the shower cause if my dad hears me hell go,"sing brianna sing," and then that makes me nervous and then i stop. i really want to become a singer. i can act just fine. i do it in a heart beat. i dont get nervous or anything. ive been in chior and everything. so what can i do to get over my fear. ive tried singing in the shower and in my room. i only sing by myself too. when nobody is home. so if you have any answers please tell me!! thatks to everyone who helps!!!
I used to be like that. Where I was scared to sing even in front of my family. But you should tell your parents not to disturb you when you're practicing your singing. Like when he said sing brianna sing that just makes you more embarassed. You should tell them that you will practice a song and sing it at the end of the week for them maybe on like a friday or saturday night. And they have to promise not to say anything or come in when you're singing. So that you'll be all ready when the time comes to perform. It's a start so you should try it :)

Q: ok so lately a lot of people have been talking about a show or movie called high school musical. what is it about? is it like grease or something? i've never even heard of it but people around school seem to know all about the thing. what tv station is it on too?

thanks im just curious.
Yeah its like a modernday grease but a little bit different. Because in the movie they are trying out for the drama play and it's completely unnormal for the school so it's hard for the entire school to accept them tryingo out for it. Yeah thats bascially it but it's an AWESOME movie.

Q: im going to camp center stage tomorrow. (its a singing, dancing, and acting camp.) it lasts for 6 weeks and all of the camp time we work on for performing a show. this year we are doing suessical. so, my question is, what are some good audition songs? we need to have an audition song thats 32 measures or less for auditions. can anyone give me some good ideas?! help! this is all to much -- we have to have it memorized by sometime this week for auditions! :-/ answers asap would be appreciated. ill rate !!! ♥
hey i am going to an audition this monday and I needed to sing a 16-32 bar song so I chose Tomorrow-from the production Annie. It's PRETTY simple exept for the "Tomorrow part" which is pretty high but still. IT's a good song for auditioning. Hope I helped.


Q: Okay, I don't usually get nervous before performing on stage. I get really nervous during auditions, though and because I'm nervous I perform poorly and I don't get a callback. I hate knowing that I could do really well, but blowing it because I'm nervous. Does anyone know how I can overcome my audition nerves? I will rate high. Thanks.
You can try just thinking that you are the only one in your room. Just tell yourself over and over in your head "i'm the only one in the room" and just think that you're at home in your bedroom. If you love to act just tell yourself that you can do it and that nothing can stop you from living your dream. I hope you get over this fear soon :)


Q: What advice would you give a 14 year old aspiring actress who's parents don't give a damn about her dreams, who lives out in the country, and isn't the stereotype of pretty?
Hey if you wanna be an actress your gonna be an actress. My parents are the same way like they can't seem to help me with auditions and all that other stuff. And we might move to indiana so i'm just totally bummed. But they do know that I would like to act. I've told them about a THOUSAND times!! But you know, if you're parents won't help try to find auditions and things on your own. And ask your parents to at least drive your places and stuff. If you're at it alone your probably gonna have to make your own money so better start that. I love this site www.talentrock.com and one of the people in my school has been to it and been on commercials voiceovers and lots more. *RECOMMENDED* but money needs to be saved. I'm probably goin to it soon but not now. I hope you'll ask your parents because it probably builds self esteem too. And it's not impossible to be discovered at 14. Lots of stars have. So don't listen to anybody who says different. Kay hope i helped :)

I love music and drama they are my life! And I know some people might think it's weird but I love disneychannel shows and don't care what they think. Miley Cyrus is my role model. I love lots of other T.V. Shows and movies that are awesome too. I also love hearts. I'm addicted! Beads are cool too. I love shopping with a passion. If somethings cute I'll buy it I honestly don't care where it's from.
