This is a good start?

Question

Hi i'm 14 and I have been taking acting,dancing and singing classes for almost two years I am moving to LA next summer and I want to know if this is a good start for acting and the other question that I have is how the actors have perfect faces?

Answer 1

You are awesome! You are way ahead of so many kids who come here and all they want is to be famous right now and they don't want to do the work! Congrats! Taking classes in those three things is great, but what have you done to add to your resume??? Have you been doing theatre or some student and indie films? If not, that's what you should be doing. You need a resume so that you can get an agent.

BTW, actor's by no means have perfect faces. They have awesome makeup artists :-) You have no idea what everyone looks like at 5:00am, trust me.

Here's a great LA resource for you to explore:
www.workingactors.com - although I've used thise book / site for years, you still have to investigate any business you use because they do pay to be listed so just because it's here doesn't mean their legit.

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. Another great resource is Ross Reports especially because they update their info so often but not all of the agents they list are SAG and you have to pay for the list. That doesn’t mean they’re not legit, but that’s why I always tell people to start with the SAG list. It’s free and those agents have signed an agreement to put the actor first! www.rossreports.com If you subscribe to backstage.com you can get a combo subscription which can come in handy but can also get quite expensive. When you're in LA however, it's almost a necessity because there are so many agents it can really help you to know which agents are taking submissions and which ones are not so that you don't waste your photos, postage, etc.

Then you can send the agencies 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. You never call the agencies directly. That is a big no-no! At least it is in LA. Please remember that reputable agents take exactly 10% of your pay AFTER they help you get a job. Not one cent more and not one cent before. Anything else is a scam. This is strictly for talent agents, not modeling agents or talent managers who take different percentages.

Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. Wherever you are right now, you can see if your state has a film alliance / commission / society or whatever your state calls theirs (some have more than one). Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre (and other auditions on backstage), you can go to backstage.com or www.actorsequity.com (click on casting call) If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying. This is an especially helpful tool in LA or NY.

BTW, you should if at all possible move to LA now or you'll miss the next pilot season!

good luck!

i'm particular no longer counting out any of the Hendricks drivers or Smoke for that remember. those are adult males who've been racing plenty longer than Kyle & frequently they do no longer start up making their pass till it gets all the way down to the Chase. look on the consistency from Junior. he's held it interior the precise 10 all season so a methods.( supply me the thumbs down...I suggested Junior.) while push contains shove, the communities incredibly start up displaying their power. there's an excellent variety of the drivers who know it's time to knuckle down and get interior the Chase. suitable now i'm no longer counting everyone out. it incredibly is tutor time now! =o`)
