I really want to be an actress. i have been thinking. But i have a few questions:
-Do you have to attend drama school?
-Do you have to have some kind of experience?
-Do you have to go through auditions?
any more help would be great! Thanks (:

Seldom is the star found that did not have any training or experience. While the answer to your question is probably no, the real question you should ask your self is:

Why would you want to limit yourself and not get any formal training? Training can lead to experience, which can increase your casting opportunities, which can increase your chances of success.

You have to audition for parts. You cannot just walk off of the street and ask for a part and get it. drama classes are very helpful. After you have done some things in school, try out for local theatre groups. Start building yourself and your resume. It will help you far more than hurt you.

If this is what you Truly want to do with your life, then you owe it to yourself to do everything you can to develop as an actress. That means that you should take the courses, because in the end, you need to know as many aspects of acting as you can. In a casting call, that can make all the difference in the world. So do not short change yourself. Good luck!

hi peeps, i need some help selecting a male monologue speech for my drama school audition. I need a speech after 1970, preferably contrasting to my Shakespeare speech (Edgar from King Lear). Any suggestions?

Apocalypse Now
written Francis Ford Coppola & John Milius

Kurtz: I’ve seen the horror. Horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me . It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and mortal terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.
I remember when I was with Special Forces–it seems a thousand centuries ago–we went into a camp to inoculate it. The children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us, and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile–a pile of little arms. And I remember…I…I…I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it, I never want to forget. And then I realized–like I was shot…like I was shot with a diamond…a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, "My God, the genius of that, the genius, the will to do that." Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they could stand that–these were not monsters, these were men, trained cadres, these men who fought with their hearts, who have families, who have children, who are filled with love–that they had this strength, the strength to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time were able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgment–without judgment. Because it’s judgment that defeats us.
I worry that my son might not understand what I’ve tried to be, and if I were to be killed, Willard, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything. Everything I did, everything you saw, because there’s nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies. And if you understand me, Willard, you…you will do this for me.

I feel so useless and i want to do more stuff to become an actor. Also what type of school do I need to go to if I want to be an actor? Shall I just ask my drama school teacher what to do??? Is there anything I can join? Could I be an extra on t.v or something? Or am I too young? (13).

First of all you are a minor so you must have a parent or guardian sign with you on any acting job until you are 16. Taking drama in school is good and singing or dancing if you are multi-talented is always a plus.
The more diverse you are the better for movies…
But drama is good…Depending on where you live, is going to depend on IF there are any accredited or connected acting schools around.
In Los Angeles or NYC you will have a better chance because that is where the industry is. If you are not in one of these areas, I would suggest going on line to find a good acting or film school Like Lee Strasburg, the best in Hollywood. ( which your parent or Guardian will have to sign and pay for) You can possibly get extra or commercial work, however this is still tricky and you actually need a personal manager or agent to help you get set up for business and get photos and composites( which also cost a lot of money) that will be required of you to get an audition for any work in the industry. There is a lot more to it than just walking on a set. TV makes it look so easy! Becareful who you hired and deal with , because most ACTING schools are just in it for the money and really do not have any connections, just a lot of empty promises for you. Don’t waste your time with them..do your research and homework on the subject of acting classes get background and references and track record proof of their accomplishments. Remember talk is cheap make them prove it!!! These schools are private and costly….
You are to young to do any of this on your own, and I would not suggest a city like Hollywood or NYC for a child without a parent it is much to dangerous. There is also the issues of the UNIONS which you cannot get into unless you have a job acting,however by the same token, most of the acting jobs (and all tv and commercials and most film) are UNION (SEG or SAG) jobs and you also cannot be considered for a (part) job without a union card. It is a catch 22 as they say…so You really need a personal manager to start with then an agent….as all professionals have one…THIS IS A BUSINESS and there is a lot to it and you really need to discuss this with a parent or guardian that supports your decision so that they can help you lay the ground work for your career in the right direction….Hope I have helped you….

I know in the long run it won’t matter who’s with who, what so-and-so did, and years later, these people will all be stuck around with lousy GPA’s and that is not the road I’m going down. However, it’s often difficult to block out all the typical drama you find in high school. Would appreciate any advice.

Well, it might help to know this quote that I find to be quite true: " If someone has a finger pointed at someone, they have three pointed at themselves. ".
Applies doesn’t it?

Hi my friend is really into drama but she’s sick of staying in Ballarat and wants to find something a bit bigger and better. I know that she has great potential and that she’d almost be guaranteed a place in a drama school. I would really like to find her a school that she can audition for.

Well I am an actress too and I live in melbourne and honestly it isn’t a great place to pursue acting because it’s very limited I am even struggling to get signed to an agent because unfortunately it is all about connections in Australia, you can be to most talented person in the world and you won’t get somewhere in this industry in melbourne. With the acting school thing also, when you audition for VCA or NIDA it isn’t just making up a scene if your friend is doing year 12 drama they will know that their is a number of theatrical elements that have to be put into the piece and remember their are many talented people out there. But I Hope your friend gets somewhere. She has similar aspirations to myself.

Hope it helps!
