A question: should....
Wed, 12 May 2004, 01:41 pmHello there - only having recently been interested in theatre and acting at 25, I'm now trying to decide where to start. I've had an extensive look around this site and still have no idea where to start . I was thinking of auditioning for some plays or student films but with having done no degree of acting before I was wandering if this was a good idea - maybe just to see if I WAS any good or not. But didn't know if this would be a waste of time or not.
Should I start auditioning straight away or perhaps doing a course .? which would be the better option . I was also wondering if anyone might be able to recommend an acting course in PERTH .. as I have no idea as to whats out there , maybe a course that one of you might have completed and felt was very beneficial to a beginner ..
Thank you for your time .

Thu, 13 May 2004, 09:19 amIf you're mainly concerned with doing acting for fun, rather than as a career path, training is probably not needed to start with - just get some experience in amateur/community shows. Keep your eyes out on this site for the audition notices of plays/musicals coming up in your area, and go along and try out.
Another thing you might like to do is go and *watch* some plays by your local groups, and then talk to the members (cast, crew, front of house staff) afterwards and let them know you're interested in getting involved in theatre. I don't know of any amateur/community group that isn't eager to bring in keen and enthusiastic people.
Well, that's my 2c from someone who purely got into acting for the fun of it. It ain't my job, but it's a good hobby :)
