Serious answers pleas; What roles should I play?

Question

I am an aspiring actress and I am making 5 minute videos to show off my characters and my talent. I want to play different people for example; different races, different accents basically different type of people. I have some ideas in mind but I need more.

For example;
I am playing a model,
a poor person,
a boy,
a crazy person etc.

I really need serious answers.
I enjoy acting I think is a wonderful kind of art for someone to express themselves.
Give me more ideas of what type of roles to play.
and if you want you can name them.

Answer 1

Don't just stay with your gender(awkward maby but it might happen it did to me). Try
maria-west side story
Taylor-High school musical
witch-into the woods
Mimi-rent
Conrad-bye bye birdie
mulan-mulan

And much more
all you have to do is look at movies/plays
and take characters from there

Answer 2

First, pelase don't play different races unless you are of mixed race yourself and actually can pass (without makeup) as these races.

Second, the video should be pieces of actual performances that you've been a part of, not just you at home in front of the camera. Take some on camera acting classes/workshops. They will give you a tape in the end that you can edit just for this purpose. Also, get into some theatre productions, do anything you can to get some real characters under your belt. I think once you actually get out there, you'll get a better idea of what acting is about.

If you're doing this to get an agent, you don't need it. You need to get some real experience first, then submit yourself to agents for representation.

If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.)

Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview

Try to get into your school productions, get into local theatre productions, you can also look at backstage.com and actorsaccess.com for auditions.

Good luck!!!

What do you plan to do with these videos? If you're trying to get an agent, I think you're much better off going to visit the agents in person.

Unless you're cutting together a video of actual performances you've done, in real shows, either films or plays, this video is going to look like a kid playing dress-up, and it's going to have exactly the opposite effect from what you want.

And playing different races from yours is really going to put people off. Eddie Murphy can get away with that, because he's a big star. You can't.

My suggestion would be to actually DO some acting, take some classes, build your skills and your resume, and get into the field that way.

Good luck and I hope you're a big success!

properly, a Jewish provider isn't embarrassing; it is not inflexible, yet distinctive human beings won't unavoidably are conscious of all of it without a splash education. yet no - no "holy rolling" or something like that :-) i assume the closest to "embarrassing" may well be the mikvah; it incredibly is a ritual tub used under particular circumstances. One enters it unclothed, even though it is likewise inner maximum (different than yet somebody else of an identical gender in attendance), and you're thoroughly undressed for all of roughly 2 minutes while you're interior the water.

Answer 5

I think you should do an example of...erm for instance.
'Walk on'
"Hi there, i just popped over to say hi..."
"Erm sure, i'd love drink, water....please"
"Oh go on then, a wine, but just a bit, red...please"
"Thanks, oh no! I've spilt it on your persian white rug!"
"I'm so sorry! I'll pay for it, no? Ok, i'll leave!"

You need to research and really get into a character that shows off your best assets. Hope that helped.
