Last night I had a first rehearsal for Annie Get Your Gun. I play Nellie, and all I'll say about the play, is that it's hilarious, and a bit inappropriate.
I think I like everyone, but I didn't see anyone I could really be friends with. That's sad.
But I know it will be fun.

Yes this is the info you want to put on your resume and include the acting class. The acting class will really impress them.

Look up acting resume on google to get an example on how to write that out too!

BTW, the acting class was a local thing done w/ a home school group. I thought it was 1/2 credit (it was ten weeks, ten weeks more in Spring that I might get to do), but the paper said 1 credit, so...? Anyway, it wasn't a big-name, well-known Hollywood class or anything, so...will that still impress them?

And I have looked up resumes! Some are different, so what do you include? BTW, I'm 17, will be 18 at the end of June. DO I fill out a child's resume or an adults?

Thanks so much for all the help you've given me, Damsel!

^ Its still good that you have that credit. Don't worry about Hollywood type credit yet because you are getting a local agent/agency nothing in hollywood so dont worry. You may end up getting shorter roles in films that comes to your state and may get known credit for it and then you move up to the bigger things.

Cool! That's good to know they'll like it.

So how much credit did you start out with? And any more tips about going about all this?

Oh my school did this musical last year!!! It is great fun, and I'm sure you'll be able to meet people

I have a new question: the agency I'm currently looking at (I don't think it is a fake after all) has a FAQ. And one of them was someone asking the agency that, if they live outside of [the city/state the agency is located], could the agency get them out of state auditions. The agency said yes, they could, in several states including LA. Now, my questions is this: if I sign w/ this agency and The Hobbit does auditions for Americans, will they probably do them in LA? And does this mean that I might get to audition for that movie after all?

Lu

I'm guessing that if The Hobbit does casting in the US, then it will be in LA. Whether or not you get to audition for the Hobbit depends on what contacts your agent has in LA, and what the production is looking for.

If you are seriously thinking about getting an agent, make sure you include your folks on the decision. I'm sure they'll be able to help you avoid scams.

Have you given any thought to going to an acting school or college?

^ I am most definitely having my dad check things out! He is so much smarter than me at realizing scams! I am kinda...naive...

Um, acting school or college? Well, I know my mom wouldn't want me going to anything like a public school, but I have taken acting classes w/ a home-school group. What are acting schools/collages normally like?

I hope this means that my agent (if we hire this one) will be able to send me to LA for casting calls for The Hobbit!

Thank you so much for your help, Movie Aristotle. I am so grateful for the experience of those who know tons more than me about acting.

Wow you have a lot more experience than me!

I am wondering- how close are they to filming Hobbit? This may, right? Os there still time for me to audition for Itaril? I don't think so...*sigh*

Also, anybody have a good way to start out getting jobs? Like in commercials? I wouldn't want to do them all my life but I will to get to the plays and movies!

Lu

but i have only had 2 main roles which is the recording and tickle a couple of miner but most are just one line roles

I was in an ad for these videos they show at schools where I had to be interested in Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech

I am hoping to do something soon! Though I do not know how....yet. Maybe if I get an agent...

Lu

do you think i have enough experience to be considered for the part

I personally think that you do, it would just be a matter of convincing them that you do (what experience did the Pevensie's and Eustace have? TV shows a few movies? Lucy (Georgie Henley) had never been in a movie before, so hm..), and that you can be a believable Jill. Plus the fact that the auditions are probably in England...
