TO YOUNG ACTORS; SASHA BINDI ETC
Tue, 22 June 2004, 05:13 pmTo Sasha Luke Bindi etc etc
OK kids, you all seem (with perhaps the exception of Luke) to be incapable of extracting the good advice and answers to your questions from what you view (incorrectly) to be critisism. In the interests of attempting to end all this godawful and increasingly boring sniping, let me try to help;
IF YOU ARE YOUNG (IE UNDER 18ISH) AND YOU WANT TO BE AN ACTOR;
1. posting on this board and asking for a part will not work;
2. agents will rarely be interested in you (especially in Perth);
3. there are unlikely to be many parts for you to audition for at your age;
SO
4. find a reputable school and take a whole bunch of classes, get better and learn about your craft;
5. look at the auditions on this page, call the number, book a time, prepare a couple of pieces and go try out. Please note, the directors will not call you, even if you post on this board and ask them to, you have to call them;
6. look at the Companies section of this page, ring your closest one and ask if there are any auditions on. If not, ask if you can help out in some way so by the time there are auditions they like you and might cast you;
7. form your own company, find your own scripts, get your mates together, rehearse and perform, in the backyard if necessary.
8. do all of the above over and over and over and over and over again, be nice to people and cross your fingers.
Sucess in this business is (arguably) about 10% talent, 60% opportunity (which you can make yourself) and luck (which you can't) and 30% who you know, or, more importantly, who knows you and what your reputations is.
The one rule overriding all others is BE PROACTIVE! Go out and find or make your opporuntities. No-one will hand them to you.
Some of you have burnt some bridges on this board, not a good idea, especially because, as has been pointed out, some of the people you have annoyed might be sitting in the chair on the other side of the table at your next audition. But try anyway.
Get ready for an awful lot of rejection, its the most common experience actors have and one we all share. But try anyway.
Break a leg.
Now please go away.

Leah's excellent, concise and conclusive post (which I believe ought to be bookmarked and sent to all future wannabes who post here) may have wasted 10 min of her time - SHE obviously doesn't need the advice - but it was in response to the hundreds of others who have been posting here who obviously DO need those answers to their questions, because they don't seem to read any other posts on the subject.
Of course, if YOU had read any further, you might have realised this also..!
What is it with all these posts wanting the same thing but not ever getting any answer other than "this is why you should stop writing these posts"? Do they type "I want to act" in their Google search engine, find one of the millions of posts on this site, and then blindly add their request to the thread without ever realising they're not doing themselves any good? (I think this is how our occasional visitors from Kansas or Michigan find us. What are they expecting?)
If you add them all up, they end up wasting 'like' 10 MONTHS writing their posts and having us read them....Leah's 10 min certainly was NO waste of time in comparison.
But then, I wonder if any of these teenagers actually read, or do they just broadcast out their SMS-like diatribe without listening to or comprehending anyone else...?

Re: TO YOUNG ACTORS; SASHA BINDI ETC
Hi Danya,
While I think you have missed the point of my post, I will answer your question because I think it might actually help you and the others out.
I am in my depressing mid to late twenties. The way I got started was by posting on this website and asking for an acting job when I was fifteen and then sitting back and watching the offers roll in. I have now found a similar website based in Hollywood called www.clickheretobeastar.com. I have clicked on the "Make me A Star" button and am awaiting my call from Mr Spielberg.
But truthfully. I may not be able to help you out. I act because I love it, not to make a billion dollars or to be famous enough to have magazines comment constantly on my weight, or for the public at large to think my love life is their business. I am not a professional actor.
I have, however, got about thirty shows, full length and one act under my belt, as well as several acting awards and experience with some of the best directors in Perth. I audition for parts, I show up to rehersals on time and prepared, I try not to yell at people too much while I'm there (shut up Mr Lee, no-one asked you!), I do my best to support my fellow actors and make the show as good as I can. I go to see other people's shows whenever I can, in a show of mutual support and solidarity for our community (sorry Deano, still trying to get to "Away"!).
I started at 16 when my drama teacher asked me to fill in for an actor in a short excerpt from a show. I liked it a lot so I called my local theatre companies and asked about joining. Two of them told me I was too young. I thanked them polietly, and kept trying til I found a company that didn't tell me I was too young. (In an aside, I have never auditioned for those two theatre companies, despite being asked to in the past). I did the drama course at school, stage managed the Rock Eisteddford, entered all the school aged speaking and acting competitions I could, joined the debating team. When I left high school I auditioned and auditioned, and did all I could with each part I got.
Gradually, I learnt more and I got better. I formed some of my best friendships and had some of my most creatively rewarding experiences. I am now in a position to make my own opportunies which, with the help of some amazingly talented friends, is what I am doing. I hope to provide opportunies for other people, and be able to keep my "hand in" theatre for many years to come.
I also have a day job. I am ashamed to say I didn't have the courage of my convictions that David Meadows or Craig Williams et al had. They went out on a limb and chased their opportunites down, sometimes at the expense of their own comfort and financial security. They commited to it. I didn't. I lived as a poor student for six years and decided I would prefer a BMW, a big house and many many pairs of shoes. As a result the chances are I earn more money than either of them probably ever will, but they are doing what they love. I know DM at least would tell me, without a shadow of a doubt (has he ever had one?) that he made the right decision, and I made the wrong one.
So please, go back and read my other post, and get to it. You already know you have to be prepared to be rejected constantly, and to pick yourself up and try again over and over. You already know that there are a handful or superstars in the world, a slightly larger handful of actors who make a living out of it and floods and floods of actors who don't (more than the population of New South Wales in LA alone).
Once again, no one is going to hand you opportunities because you ask for them, not on this board, not anywhere. Those who tell you they will, usually just want your money.
Hope that helped.
Now, again, please go away.

Re: TO YOUNG ACTORS; SASHA BINDI ETC
ok! leah!
i find it rather hard to gather your words in some ways they are insults but then also compliments.As for the postings, i work from an agency, and i also do acting because its my talent, and i would act to anyone for nothing, because its what i enjoy.Being an actress gives you the opertunity unlike others to have an array of aliases as well as be in any professioj in the world, as all you need is talent an imagination.I agrtee that there is no way that people can get jobs at the drop of a hat it takes training and endurance, but me posting that, was out of sheer bordem, i am sorry if peole think i'm a fruit cake, but personally everyone on here does it.By saying I NEED WORK i am merely saying, that i am interested in any auditions that may be on, if people neee someone for anything then they can let me no, but as i said i dont expect to becom someone over night.I am in it for the fun and enjoyment it brings to myself and others around me, money is nothing, because if it was the world wouldn't be so chaotic.

Re: TO YOUNG ACTORS; SASHA BINDI ETC
Thanks for the thought Leah, but if you want to see "Away", you will need to take the 30 minutes drive down the Freeway to Kwinana. The rest of the season at Subiaco is completely sold out!
Kwinana still has seats available for 2 and 3 July and they can be bookeds by calling 9439 0290.
Thou fawning full-gorged wagtail! (How true!)

Yes but it's no good just believing in yourself while you do nothing positive or pro-active, that's just the same as just believing in a dream that hasn't got a hope in hell. I think that's whats so sad about a lot of these (mainly teenage girls) posts, I'm sure they don't mean any harm but then again on the other hand they are doing nobody any good either. I don't hate anyone for posting those types of notes, I just find it sad because everyone else seems to hate them for it and it really is all quite pointless.
You have to really get off your behind and do something first, and then that's when you also need to believe in yourself to make it work.
Sasha, I certainly don't want to give you abuse for sharing your opinions, but I wish you would extend that courtesy to everyone else. I was really resentful of the way every post you wrote, and there have been a lot of them this week, was rude and angry and disgusting. Then at last I saw one post that seemed genuinely polite and appropriate, but then you dropped back to the ugly language again. I thought for a moment there there was someone I might like to get to know (I'm from an Irish background too) but then it disappeared. I'd really prefer it if all of the disussion remained relevant to theatre, and we treated everyone respectfully even if we disagree with what they say. And that includes people like me who don't write much but like to read messages. There's no pleasure in it if I'm not being respected, and find myself having to read filth and bitchy fighting.
Thank you.

Re: TO YOUNG ACTORS; SASHA BINDI ETC
Is it at all possible to turn this website into XXXX 18+? Maybe that'll keep the children away. Seriously. ENOUGH already.
*Thank* you, Miss! Finally, some helpful information, posted in a vain attempt of ridding this website of teenagers who seem to have nothing worthwhile to say, and don't appear to have learnt how to use WHOLE WORDS in sentences. What are they teaching children these days??? I ask in all sincerity........
SMS speech is evil and should only be used on those funny cordless telephone thingies the youngsters of today seem SO obsessed with...
Listen to my dear friend here, kiddies. She knows what she is talking about.
Now unless you have something constructive to add, GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!
I thank you.

Re: TO YOUNG ACTORS; SASHA BINDI ETC
Ok, but while we're on the topic Julia (and while there's already enough drivel to make this go mostly unnoticed) - could you also please use capital letters in their proper places? It's net-iquette gone a bit far perhaps, but it is easier to read your lovely reviews when there isn't random 'all-capitals' words jumping out at you in the middle of the sentence (and if we're being uber-net traditional, I think typing something in 'all caps' is a sign of aggression or something similar)
