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?

I hate to ask the obvious but do you actually think that you will get a job by posting... "I desperately need an acting job??"
No one is going to hire you off this page... everyone that visits this site wants an acting job... so why do you think that you will get one just because you say that you are enthusiastic... I'm as aspiring actor too, but i'm not stupid enough to post "hire me" on this page. A few words of advise and people have tried before but it doesnt seem to be doing anything. 1. Instead of sitting on your computer at home writing "hire me" why don't you go to google and look up... Acting casting calls Brisbane or sydney or where ever... the best way to start in unpaid and gradually you work your way up to paid... 2. Get experience... get involved in as much theatre as possible... take acting lessons and give people a reason to hire you... look up workshops in your area and take some of them to... the more experience the better the chance of being hired and 3. Don't expect anything to be handed to you on a silver platter because it won't be... we have to work for everything in life, and acting in probally the most competitive profession in the world... so don't walk around thinking that just because one person said that you have amazing talent that you do... not to be rude but people have said it to me as well and it hasnt gotten me anywhere... get out there and do the work for yourself... also... if you cant get work yourself then dont think that getting an agent will change this dramatically!! Best advice ever told to me... Being a good actor is 15% talent and 85% dedication... Hope you take this advice seriously!!! Best of luck -Nici
