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.

Sun, 16 Jan 2005, 06:44 pmHi Jen,
I just want to mention something to you - whilst you may not want an agent as such, the reason that I have suggested to people to go to a modelling agency, is because they are the main source of "extra work" for television networks/locally produced films etc.
You dont have to pay them to represent YOU as such, just maybe join a class, and most of them still keep you on their books even if your not attending any more. (For extra work, you dont need to audition either, they have your picture, and the producer will just pick a bunch of them, and then your hired!!)
Its just a good way to gain a bit of experience (and a bit of money) to do mainly extra work.
But I do agree with what (na) has said.
Alot of theatre companies have regular newspapers, so you could subscribe to them for auditions etc, as well as check your local paper etc.
