For all people who want to act
Wed, 5 Jan 2005, 03:30 pmI've seen this site a couple of times, and I'd just like to make a comment.
Whether you want to believe it or not, I'm a successful actor.
Everyone here who's asking for a role: Stop!
Everybody who looks at your messages are just kids - there's no casting directors or agents out there looking at your messages.
Believe me; you're not going to get any work by posting here.
Go to any theatre you've heard of, and do lots and lots of shows.
Submit a resume to every theatre you know of, and make yourself known!
The truth is: 99% of all actors actually get paid/professional work.
It's unfortunately the truth, even it is sad.
But if you believe in yourselves, and you really believe you have what it takes, then go for it.

Sat, 15 Jan 2005, 03:13 pmUnfortunately jen, most auditions are not posted anywhere - in fact, most entertainment jobs in general, are not posted anywhere - check the Age or other newspapers in their entertainment section. I'm a tech, so I mostly look at tech sites, but even then there are hardly and Australian sites that provide space for auditions and job ads. Like the rest of those looking to start, and those who have started, most of the jobs are gained from networking and word of mouth. And applying directly to companies and local groups.
One of the things that bothers me about the industry is that it is so secretive. People will tell you that that's what agents are for - finding work - but nobody says anything about those people who don't want an agent, or for us techs (as there are not very many agencies for techs).
Just keep looking, the information is out there somewhere.
