I can sing, dance, model, and act (and much more, not to brag) and i've been dancing and singing all my life and i modeled when i was little and i've done litteraly 28 musicals/plays. And I think it's time to move on. And when i saw Peter Pan, Pirates of the Carribean, and Haunted Mansion...that's when I decided that I wanted to become a REAL actress...A Movie Star! But how do I get there? You see the problem is that I don't live in Califonia which is the hottest spot if your looking for Stardom. I live in stupid old CO. So, how can I get my taste of fame? I've looked for months on the Internet trying to find auditions for young teens, but so far nothing! 1) What should I do?
2) If you find NE film/movie auditions for young teens PLEASE tell me!
Sincerely,
MiSSc

If you want to be a professional performer while you're still a kid, the best thing to do is get an agent. Check your local yellow pages or do a web search for reputable agents in your area (and do your research carefully, because there are quite a few shady ones). An agent may be able to help you find commercial work in Colorado, or get you auditions if there are any movies filming nearby. She or he can also steer you toward good professional theater productions. It's a long shot, but if you get a little more exposure locally and things go well, you may decide to try your luck in Hollywood.
If you're serious about an acting career for the long term, though, I would focus your attention on your training for the time being. Find a really good acting coach, and learn everything you can about your craft. Child stars tend to fade out pretty fast, because often all they know is how to play cute. People who start later usually have longer careers, because they're better prepared. And most of the actors you see playing teenage parts are a lot older in real life.

Thats the best things I can suggest. [ DruidX's advice column | Ask DruidX A Question ]
