Wanted: young actors/actresses, 11-15 years old.

Your frustration at the lack of paid theatre and film work is understandable, but honestly posting more and more one paragraph statements requesting others contact you is not going to help, rather it will just conyinue to clutter up the board. Acting is a profession where actively hunting out auditions is necessary to gain experience and roles. Simply saying "I need a job -please help" after about 15 other people in the same situation have done so is only going to waste your time and others who boter to check these messages.

Why don't you kids do something proactive and join a drama class, create your own shows or call around personally to some of perths amateur companies who can almost always use an extra hand for sewing on buttons or painting the props. That way you might actually gain some contacts who WILL be able to help you find a role, or at least an audition in the near future.

Just my two cents.

Thou mangled swag-bellied lout!

I do have to say that everybody here is just LAZY. Okay, doesn't everyone want to grow up and be a famous actress like Hilary Duff, or some other teen actress? GET OUT THERE AND DO IT! The only one who is going to deny you the right to act is yourself. So just stop. I can't help it. Everyone screaming and crying, looking back and saying "why didn't I take up acting" It's never too late. Get yourself out there and take up some lessons. Go to every audition, no matter how bad at acting you are! Don't give up!
