Question: I need help on Acting Castings and More!?
So i just graduated from John Casablancas, what most people call a scam!. Supposibly i should be getting my certificate in about a month!. My teacher there told me that i was very good at acting and that I should be getting my career started!.
She said once i get my certificate it will help me alot to get booked!.
also she mentioned that i should go to JC Pennys and model for them!.
Thats not what i want to do, i want to go and act, modeling was fun for me and all but i just took the classes so that i could learn to improve my acting!.
So i know this well known site that gives out info on castings,
I wanna try out an send my resume by mail but it says to send an 8 by 10 photo in!.
8 by 10!?
The envelopes not even that big! lol
So maybe im wrong and im humiliating myself but i dont want to get it wrong!.
Help!?
Any tips, advice on how to get booked!?
I want to get an agent but im already in an agency so whats the point!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
8 x 10 is the typically preferred size for headshots!. You just have to buy different envelopes (they do make them for that size!. Think of an 8 x 10 as a full sheet of paper!.

The agent is up to you!. It sounds like you've already done some of the work that they'd help with (i!.e!. find casting calls, get you signed up for them) and John Casablancas should be helping with that anyway, so your money might be better saved from the agent at this time!.

As for tips to get booked, just start trying for anything and everything!. You never know which will be the big one for you and it is always good to keep building your resume!.

Feel free to shoot me questions if i can help with anything else!.

Alright, if you already are in an agency I don't think you can go to another one, unless it's a PERSONAL agent!. And in order to send a 8x10 photo get one of those large orange envelopes to put it in and also put a resume in there to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Whew! Boy, have you been scammed!! A certificate from Casablancas, or from The Actor's Studio is of no worth in getting cast!. Casting directors do not care where or if you went to school!. They only care if you look the part and can act the part!. Yeah!., You sound too young to know what the heck you are doing!. A teen cannot get work without their parent's help!. They cannot get an agent without their parent's help!. if you classes had been worth anything they would have taught you how to get an agent, and for what they cost, they should have got you an agent Web sites that give info on casting are all scams to get your money!. You are not going to become a teen actor unless you parents work very hard to make it happen getting you experience, the proper training and an agent!. Sorry, but that is how it is done!. And have you never heard of Manila envelopes!? What agency are you in, Casablancas!? They will do you no good!. Get out of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
