Budding 13, 14 and 15yr olds!
Sun, 15 Aug 2004, 08:40 ami think its fantastic that so many young people are interested in the performing arts, its great and it represents a great future for the acting community...
having said that you have to be realistic... as previous posters have stated noone is going to just hand you a job, you have to work for it. nobody wants anyone of any age who has there head in the clouds and believes that posting two sentences about themselves on an internet site (some with a lot of spelling mistakes!) can lead to a dream career with lots of money and being oh so *famous*.
IF you are serious about the industry get off your lazy butt and go to school, learn as much as you can... go to afterschool dance schools, acting classes and singing lessons, build yourself into someone who could be respected as a performer.
AND for gods sake! this site itself has audition after audition listed, how about going to those theatre companies and seeing if they could use some help, maybe you could start out as a backstage hand in a local pantomime and at least that way you will be getting some first hand experience of what the theatre life is like behind the glitter and lights, and meeting people who have the same kind of interests! well i sincerly hope you take this advice in the good nature it is posted in and hopefully you'll see some sense in these words...
