Acting


Question Posted Monday September 3 2007, 5:05 am

Hey everyone, thanks in advance if you answer.

So I LOVE to act, and I've been told I'm good at it. I'd love to start a very small acting career like appear in TV ads or something but one small problem: I don't know how to start. My dad said ages ago those talent agencies are scams if they ask for money.

So where do I start? I'm 15 and I live in Australia.

Ignatz answered Tuesday November 27 2007, 12:56 pm:
Are there acting schools in your area? Local arts organizations will often give classes or workshops for young actors, and they're usually run by local professional actors. Ask one of the teachers for leads on good agents, advice for starting out, that sort of thing.

Also, keep an eye out for open auditions in your local paper. Keep hitting the cattle calls, refine your audition pieces, and take whatever roles you get offered. You'll start getting a reputation for persistence and a willingness to take direction. Once you have some roles on your resume, then you can angle for bigger parts.

Hope this helps.
