15 year old requires acting job

Ok so by now this topic is pretty much flogged to death and we're all mighty bored, but bear with me...

To all those young people who have been posting these "please give me a go" ads, I sympathise.
You have a dream, you want to act on it but you're not sure where to begin, so here's a helpful website and maybe just maybe if you put up your hand you'll get the job.

But everyone just complains about you.
Unfortunately, that's showbiz.

So here are the Tips:

1. don't post your details unless in specific reply to an audition notice cos it's most likely that if the auditions already up don't mention a character in your age bracket, we just dont know what to do with them.

2. for younger people, community theatre is a hard area to get a foot in, {see Luke Heaths note on performance schedules}.
So...try EVERYTHING else.

Join a youth theatre that will be more involved in weekend work
Talk to casting agencies
Enter talent competitions, do street theatre, busk
If you're a little older, volunteer with local theatre for usher and front of house. When that pivotal part does come along this gives you connections with those in the know.

Everyone wants to be in the spotlight but at your age life experience is what will give you the edge in the long run.
All very annoying but all too true.

And here ends the latest addition to this ongoing spiel of encouragement and irritation.
If it means anything.
Good Luck!
