What websites can u find agents for actors??? Plzs help!!!?

Postby luther » Mon Dec 19, 2011 2:40 am

I want to find the best auditions!!!Trust me I've been searching non stop for like a year in a half!!! And I've been using google because that's the only place I know!! I'm 13 living in Fayetteville north Carolina and there is no acting auditions here!!! I promise I'm 110% serious, I want to be an actor. I'm even in an acting class that is almost over but the only thing I hate about it is that it's for theater and I want to be on tv not a stage! So after this is done my dad said he wants to put me in a camera film acting class but I want to find auditions now because I know I can do it. It's my passion and i find joy doing it!!! Plus Ive already proven I'm dedicated by going to an acting class that's not even in my town!! It's in raleigh which is 2 hours away so I have to get up extra early just to make it on time!! I even spent my time on the internet for 2 years looking up monologues and free scripts so I can practice then I watch carefully on how tv actors make it look so real then I searched on the web to see what makes a great actor! I really want to be on a tv series that is science fiction or action or even comedy but I don't want to be on Disney or nickoleden. Please I'm begging u please help me I know I can do it I just need someone to believe in me too!!! Thanks :)

I'm sorry, but you've been wasting your time searching for a website.
Auditions are only found through a good agent.
To get an agent to represent you, you'll need to be attending a good stage school and get spotted when the agents go to their showcase performances. That's how almost all kids get agents.
Agents expect their clients to have attended the best stage schools and had loads of relevant stage experience, with them in leading roles.

I appreciate that it's your passion, and you think you're ready for real work, but what you have to realise is that there are thousands and thousands of other kids, just as talented as you, if not more, and your resume has to be the best one an agent sees, out of the hundreds that he gets every week, for him to pick you. And the main things they look for are training and experience.

One thing that concerns me, it you saying you hate theatre acting. If you really mean that, you don't have what it takes to be a professional. Acting on stage is how almost all acting is taught, and no serious actor would limit themselves by only wanting to act to camera. All really successful actors are happy to work in any type of performance, and are brilliant on TV, in movies or in stage plays.

Most good actors actually prefer live performance - the story gets told in the right order, you can put so much more of yourself into it, and there's the fantastic feeling of getting a response from a live audience! Do re-think this. Stage acting is real acting. Maybe you'll appreciate that when you're older.

On the other hand, you're intelligent enough to realise that Disney and Nick are to be avoided - the acting there is truly terrible!

I hope this helps you see the way things are - but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, only you can help yourself, by getting more and more training and experience, and being realistic.
Good luck!
