Hello,

I am an aspiring actress but I am a bit struggling to get in the industry and would like some advices.

I have been an extra in movies and Tv series.i am registered with total-talent and tobeseen,i had an audition a week ago which is quite difficult to find.i was thinking of registering with a talent agency but I don't know a serious one.i would also like to take acting classes but with my flexible job, I don't really have the time. With all of this, i don't know which way to go.

could you guide me?

Regards,

Hi Kiwa, Thanks for your question. All good agents, ourselves included, look for actors to have some kind of formal training or a really good level of professional experience. Acting is one of the most competitive careers in the world, so you need to elevate yourself above the competition and commit yourself to it wholheartedly. With that in mind, I would suggest that you get as much training and experience as possible. Good luck!

Hi jessica, I am looking to change agencies and I wondered how you collectively choose who can join in the agency? DO you watch someone perform?showreel? etc

Thanks,

Sarah

Question from Twitter: Do I have to pay to join and if so how much. Does this come off my earnings?

Hi Sarah, we love to come and see people perform and always watch showreels that are sent to us. If we feel you can bring something to the agency, then we will invite you in for an audition and a chat, with a panel of our members. We encourage all those intersted to have a good read of our Prospective clients page on our website before applying. http://www.actorscreativeteam.co.uk/home/prospective-clients/

For the most part, we want committed performers, with talent, a passion for working as part of a team and an eagerness to understand all aspects of casting and production. If we feel someone has all of these things and impresses in their audition, we take a vote and offer them a trial membership with the agency.
