Answer 1

You have to build a resume. School plays are where you start. Then you go to local theatres and then try for student and indie films. Everyone has to start somewhere and agents who will get you bigger auditions won't take you without experience. You also need your parents unconditional support because you won't be able to do anything without them.

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.). 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.

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. You can also 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.

good luck!

Answer 2

Acting classes help, but getting a good role in a school play is very useful as well. Acting is a job. For every profession, you must have a resume or some kind of experience that relates to your field. If you really want to get into acting without any "real" acting experience, putting down that you starred in a school play could really help you. Another thing that helps is attending acting classes outside of school or joining a community theater. Through there, you can meet people sharing the same interests and perhaps help you get auditions for small roles. Also, if you feel that you have a true talent, get an agent! They can help you find roles. But the entertainment industry is very tough and there will be rejections, but if you're really determined you might be able to make it. If you start up small, such as a school play then move up to a background actor, you may eventually start getting lines and who knows, perhaps become a professional :)

Answer 3

Well as a start you almost have to start in school plays. Then you can work your self up to a commercial and then you will work your self up to be on a show or a movie! You can also just make phone calls and just maybe go online and look for opening acts and things like that. But to start off with I would try a school play just so you know what it feels like to be on stage and other things. And also (I don't know if you want to do this because this is kinda like a life changing style)you could move to Hollywood or Vegas or New York City if you really want to act that bad. I am sure you will find a place there to act or be on stage!

Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Multiply each number in the first set with the numbers in the second set. So = 4*4 + 4*3i + 3i*4 + 3i*3i and then simplify the result as you normally would. Or if you just want to write the equation in shorter form it is: (4 + 3i)^2

Answer 5

look online to see if auditions are being held anywhere near u for commercials or something. Hope this helps
