people who are looking for jobs
Tue, 7 Dec 2004, 01:43 pmhey,
i just wanted to inform some of the people that are posting things such as '15 year old looking for acting job' and so on that because there are so many of them, people are getting confused... well at least i am ;)... i know that it has nothing to do with me, but i know how confusing it can get when there are 50 people of the same age looking for an acting job and that because almost everyone has the same subject title, they hardly stand out... can i suggest that people change the subject titles? i know that that is hard but maybe, just maybe, it can make that small difference...

In the scheme of things....employers (i.e Casting consultants, Professional Theatre or Film) don't post jobs on here.
They go through agents.......and agents don't actively go out looking for talent on websites like this.

And the last thing we want to do at this point is to encourage supposedly 'young talent' to start posting their details, so perhaps the web administrator should clean up these postings.
Just a thought.

Re: people who are looking for jobs
You could place an ad like Bunning's do on tv..and see how that goes. That may be a tad too expensive.

Re: people who are looking for jobs
I remember thinking that when I was young, and telling people the same thing, everyone would say "get an agent", and I thought to myself "how can I get an agent with no experience..."
But I did....
So for anyone interested in acting/commercial/local tv extras etc, take note:
Go to your local Modelling/Casting Agency - you will more then likely have to pay for a course.. (Dont think that they are trying to scam you, you need to work with them before you work for them, vice-versa).
But go to a few first, and ask what commercials/productions/films etc their agency has been involved in - pick the best one, go in with some home snaps of you (usually one close up and full length), with a sheet of paper with your hobbies, experiences (e.g horse-riding, anything), and your personal statistics (weight, height etc)
If they say that you must pay to have proffesional photos done - try somewhere else- dont pay any more money then you have to!
When you start the course, make sure you let your teachers know that your interested in any experiences available.
Also, do drama at school, mabey even join a local theatre amateur group, build up your resume, and have fun!
And no, I'm not a proffesional actor or anything like that, but I've done enough to know that this is good and geniune advice!
(To look for an agent, see CASTING AGENCIES/ MODELLING in yellow pages)
hope it helps someone.
thanks, lynnette

Hi Vanessa,
If you really want to do acting, and you dont have the money to pay for an agent/classes, why not join with your local amateur theatre group instead.
The most you will have to pay is a small membership fee, ($10.00 or whatever it is) and you can audition for as many shows as they are holding.
Its fun, you get to meet great people, plus you get experience.
Then in a few years time, if you still want to do it, you can get a casual job (While still in school) and pay for classes at an agency yourself.
good luck and have fun!
