Where do i go to audition for tv shows or movies.?

Question

I REALLY want to be an actor and i dont know how to audition or what i ned to do.

Answer 1

You can only audition if there is an audition in the city where you live.

If you do NOT live i a city where movies and television shows are produced you can't audition for tv or movies.

The movie and television industry is in New York City and Los Angeles.

Answer 2

I'm a member of the Screen Actors Guild. First off, where do you live? Do you live in/near a large city like Chicago, New York or Los Angeles? The best thing to do is to take an on-camera acting class to get some experice. Do some acting in your local school/community plays. You need some experience before you start getting into the business! You should also start working on two monologues (no more than two minutes total for both, and one comedic and one dramatic). Look for plays at your local library or book store. Then, get headshots, and then start a mailing and submitting your headshot and resume to agents in your area. Go to the Screen Actors Guild website for a list of local agents in your area. Include a cover letter. Inside the cover letter, talk about your latest class you are taking or the play you will be in and talk briefly about what type of work you are interested in (commercials, theater, film, indy film, industrials, trade shows, modeling, etc.). Also include a resume of all the roles you've played, and a professional headshot. If the agents are interested in you based on your submission, they will call you in for an audition in their office based on your "Look," "Type," "Age Range," and "Experience in the Field." You will then read cold copy (part of a script you've never seen before) and make a screen test perhaps with some prepared material like a monologue. If they like you, they will sign you and they do all the work for you. BE PREPARED! It takes time to get called in, and sometimes it may take up to a year or two to even have an agent call you in. You can only submit every six months to agents. Be patient and don't give up hope! Sometimes an agent may think you're talented or like your look, but they may have too many of your type on file and you have to wait until they get a little older, drop out, or move. It really is a "game" and just be prepared for more failure than success. A working actor in a commercial in the guild only makes $500 for one commerical...you won't strike it rich right away! Best of luck! Also be prepared to pay up front for nice headshots ($200-500). NEVER PAY TO BE ON FILE WITH AN AGENT. Agents will sign you and you do not have to pay anything to them until they land you a job and they get a percentage of your fee.
