You need a top agent, and they aren't going to represent you without experience and professional training. It's most unlikely that your first few years' of experience will be anything other than theatre and student films. You need to build up a body of professional work, and theatre and student films is relatively easy to get rather than the more lucrative work that good agents and experienced actors will be pursuing. |
| Question: How do I start professionally acting? Posted: 02 Sep 2014 12:31 AM PDT Youth theatre groups are available in most big communities. There is no need to think about paid acting work at this time as agents can pick and choose and they do. Most work comes through good agents and they have no interest in unskilled young people. Their income depends on your ability to secure work at audition. If you assure your parents that you will stop youth theatre or other performing arts skills (dancing, vocal studies) if your school grades drop they will normally be more receptive. Right now you need to find out if you actually have any real acting ability and potential and whether you are prepared to put in the hard work it takes to become multi skilled and marketable. Your idea of "falling back"on a law degree is flawed. Law requires a full intellectual, financial and time commitment. It is not a casual job that will work around auditions, rehearsals etc. Any work you do to support yourself whilst pursuing an acting career must have flexible work conditions and hours. If you are keen to pursue law, then I recommend you keep acting as a hobby. These are both professions requiring enormous commitment - it is not possible to show the level of commitment they take, side by side. I am guessing that (in common with most young aspiring actors) you are massively underestimating the level of competition for even the tiniest of acting roles. Working as an extra is not acting- it involves being a human prop. You cannot include extra work on an acting resume. I suggest you start at the beginning and become knowledgable about what is essentially a money making business. Spend time with other young actors and work out if you have the commitment it takes. Best of luck. Daughter studies full time at well known acting school (years of performing arts high school, youth theatre, vocal studies etc before that). |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2014 09:34 PM PDT Do u remember that flashback of the father and son entering her town? Well she loved the idea of having a child and feeling loved. So she kinda kidnapped him and killed the father if my memory serves me correct. but when he left her because of what she did to his father she decided to ask rumple to adopt one. Now since rumple was clever he gave her emma swan's child. |
