I need an acting carrer!
Wed, 9 Nov 2005, 10:06 amHeyI'm 13 and I know there is a LOT of teens out there that want to act is much as me, but all of us cant act, so i think whoever is really intrested in acting like me should be the ones to succed. If anyone can help us get satrted then PLEASE do. And im not sure if i have to pay to act ina film, but i hope not. I'm sure that most of us dont have a lot of money. If i did recive enough money i would by my family a new house!
Re: Probably worth pointing out that...
Wed, 30 Nov 2005, 09:53 amOn my third issue of your ezine Na.
Although I'm in WA and there is never a lot of work about! I get by...I like your format and the articles are mostly well written and even mostly about "youth" (And Im a crusty old geezer)
Ive sent the details to my 16 yr old studying and working stepson actor in Sydney. How does he get work? hes got an agent, he goes to drama school of excellence, he tries, practises and never ever gives up. He did over 200 auditions before his first professional job here in WA at age 9. And he hasnt looked back. Why's he in Sydney?, thats where the work is.
And no Im the last one to be a "theatre/TV" parent. He did it and does it because it is his driving desire. He is better, more ablle and more flexible than I. I just earn more money...at the moment.
So any kids reading this..thats what you need. Commitment guts and talent. Having your 8 year old crying his eyes out after his 100th or so rejection, man. I didnt want to go with him to any more auditions. I said to him, no way dude, but he persevered. Next call he's dragging me to the car. I made him make all his own appointments after that. He did.
I reckon your doing a great job Na. Keep it up.
