I am 15 years old and love acting, but have not been able to do much of it as of yet. I am wondering how I could get an acting role or if there were any spots available. I live in NSW, it would need to be within the state. Can any one help?

Brian, and other young people posting here, might like to take THIS into consideration...



If you want to have roaring fire, put wood in FIRST.

If you want your car to drive you across town, put petrol in FIRST.

If you want to find a job, get out of the house FIRST.

If you want someone to value you as an actor enough to offer you money for it - you guessed it - put the effort in to become a valuable actor FIRST.



Everything has a price....and not necessarily a monetary value. The things you can buy are actually quite cheap and can be easily obtained. But it's the qualities you can't buy...The skills, experience and attitudes that are going to bring you success as an actor can only be bought by paying the price - spending the time working on them, putting the effort in first, and making yourself the most valuable commodity you can so that you stand out from your competition.
But the thing is, once you DO put the petrol in, your car is more able to grant your request. Once you put the effort in to become a valued performer, then you are more able to obtain the jobs you ask for.

"15 year old requires acting job" is never going to cut it. "15 year old displays so much dedication, skill, initiative, and pure charisma that everyone is climbing over themselves to secure them for the next job" possibly is. But only if you can get out there and prove it.


All the best
