hey bec
try W.A Academy of performing Atrs @ Edith Cowan uni or Queensland university. theatre courses at uni's are also good. or get out there, audition for as many roles as possible an be on the drama scene. Talents scouts and agents are more likely to find you that way that just if ur at the mall the whole time.
good luck.

thanks leonie for that,
im involved in a drama school , called joondalup academy of performing arts , for after school drama classes

thanks

Forging a career in the acting world is by no means an easy path. I think the most important thing is to net let yourself be deluded by the romantic idea that just because you're talented means that you are going to make it. Many people who deserve to make it never do and many who don't will. On the other hand however many talented actors do make it.

My advise to you is that there is no teacher like experience, do as many productions as possible and gain experience. At your age you still have a long way to go so it is easy for you to become disillusioned when you fail. Many people give up because of this.

Also look beyond your acting school for experience audition for some of the really good youth theatre companies around where you will get to work with professionals. Western Australia Youth Theatre company and BSX be active theatre are two such companies which come to mind.

I guess in short my advice is, don't think that a career in acting is just going to magically fall into your lap, because it won't. Work hard and remain passionate about what you want.

Best of luck

I find it interesting to look up actors on http://www.imdb.com - often their bios tell you some cool info about how they started in acting or got their break.

For example: Heath Ledger: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005132/bio

(Basically he did a lot of plays in school, started auditioning for tv & film in Sydney when school finished, landed a few small roles, then hit it big with Ten Things and the Patriot)

An interesting thing I've noticed is while some people start out in acting very young, some just seem to 'fall into' roles, some study acting at uni and some don't - it seems that most people who've made it 'big' have done it their own unique way - theres no set forumula for success.

If you're in Perth, the WAAPA. Its very competetive to get in however, especially the Diploma of Acting course. You have an advantage - you've decided what you want to do early! You can start building up experience and and a list of credits and have a big head start by the time you're ready to apply =)



The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
