How does a 14 year old get her name out in the Acting world?

Question

Like I said, i am 14 and have been acting since i was like 3 years old. I have alot of experience in my community and recently i went to an audition for an american acting school and got picked out of 500 people (about 20 had been chosen)

Anyways, I just want to know how i could maybe someday make it in a big movie. Or a small movie. Yeah i just wanna be in a MOVIE.

Thanks ;)

By the way i live in Montreal, Quebec

Answer 1

I have worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge. When I started out, I didn't have much information and spent countless weeks, months and even years learning the ropes by trial and error. I know how valuable information and resources are to people who are starting out from scratch. So I recently decided to use some of my spare time to create a blog with Disney Channel casting notices, audition information, information on getting an agent, demo-reels, resumes, etc. There are far too many scam artists out there who take advantage of those actors who are trying to make their dreams come true. The information and casting notices I provide are totally free and legitimate. Hopefully I can save some people a few bucks and a lot of footwork.

(I have also created a sister-site Hannah Montana Auditions, and a general Acting Auditions site)

Sincerely,

Alan Baltes

One more thing.... NEVER give out your personal information to anyone on Answers because you never know who they are. I have noticed a certain someone here who always asks minors to email him directly for "mentoring". All of the information you need is out there for free and without a strangers "mentoring".

Answer 2

Best way to begin would be to get an actor's head shot to mail to different agents. You can usually find agent lists online through the SAG website. You'll need a large number - a few hundred. They cost $1-3 each.

A note on agents - Make sure whatever agent/agents you sign with are reputable. Your agent costs NOTHING, they work off commission. That means when you get a part, they take a percentage of your pay AND THAT IS IT. There are laws set up that regulate what % they can take. This is the biggest mistake newbies make - they pay their agent to get them work or their agent forces them to get new pictures/head shots done in order for them to make money.

One you have your heads, make a resume to attach on the back, make a cover letter that basically states your interest in acting, any special abilities, etc, and mail it to as many agencies in your area. Make sure your cover letter has all your contact information so they can contact you back. Flood the market. They will contact YOU if they're interested. Your agent will get your bookings.

What acting school? Turn all that experience into a resume, get a head shot and ap[ly to agents.
