Position:Home>Theater & Acting> I Want To be An Actor.HELP!!!?Question:I live in Iowa, one of the worst, in my opinion, states for finding acting work. I went out for my first HS play and got a supporting character (I was the only freshman that went out,it was mostly seniors) We did a great job on the play (Sylvia) and now I want more. But there is a problem, the only theater near me almost NEVER has teen parts in their plays! So, I was wondering if there were any good acting camps/schools near me, like Chicago maybe, or if you have any tips for me?

Send your picture and resume to agents and agencies - getting roles in your high school play won't - and I'm sorry to be frank - get you a job. Only agents can do that, unless you're chosen from thousands at an open audition. You could try camps like Frenchwoods or Stagedoor Manor, but those might be a little far for you. I live in NY, so It's MUCH easier for me. Get headshots, and go from that. Plus, actors don't always play their own age - I've taken roles for 11 year olds, and I'm years older than that. |
