I would love to be a part of the Young and the Restless and become a actor. How would I start to do that.
I would love to be casted on the young and the restless or the bold and the beautiful.
T.B.A. to be announced
Open Auditions for the Fall premier season are currently being downloaded.
I’m been acting for a while, just trying too do it on a business level, changing lanes in my life path. Pretty much wanna change my career in the arts of acting as a career.
My 13 year old grandson and I are seeking acting opportunities. Gabriel Perez is a very handsome 6th grader who is about 5’5″ tall. He is athletic and intelligent as well as being a terrific sketch artist I am 76 years old with stage acting experience, especially, in biblical productions where I have played Abraham, Nicodemus, and a Gentile baker whose brother was the Roman centurion who was declared by Jesus/Yeshua to have had more faith than any man on earth. I look, also, like Santa Claus and have played “him” in malls for 20 years. I am a retired (38 years) high school English teacher with a Master’s Degree in British Literature and Secondary Education. I am also the original “White Shadow” who was hired by Bobby Kennedy’s office as U.S. Attorney General… Farmville, Virginia in 1963. I am the first White guy to coach an all Black boys’ high school basketball team in the U.S. Gabe and I have modeling photos from our agency.
I would love to have a part in a soap opera. My dream.
A daytime soap opera? Who wouldn’t love to be a part of it. My dream…
How would I find out who the casting agencies are for Mexican and Columbian soap opera actors/actresses. Thank you!
I love soap operas and would like to join you. I am from Kenya.
Are you guys truly this — blank —- ? For crying out loud, this is a blog of notices. People check this site to see what’s new and who is casting, but if you’re posting questions like “how do I become an actor” or “if I send you my reel” or “I’ve always wanted to act, never had a chance and now” – then you’re in the wrong place and what’s even worse you don’t seem to know much about what it is you seem to want so badly.
a) find a seminar in your area that is named INTRO to acting – because you need both, acting lessons and lessons on the business. How did I guess? Actors who can act, would be out there working not posting silly questions online and actors who understand the business would never post SUCH silly questions online
b) second thing you want to do is AUDITION and the BEST place to find a way to break into that is community and school plays and extra casting, which almost every city has.
c) If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to be an actor and it’s all you’ve ever dreamed of, understand that it’s a business and no one in their right mind ( not even an indie director) is going to cast an total nobody in a leading role, unless that total nobody is so phenomenal and so perfect for the part that the director has no other choice but to give it a chance and hope the money behind the film let’s him/or her cast this total nobody and oh, yes, the total nobody, once he/she is cast in a role, will eventually have to act. SO PLEASE LEARN TO DO THAT FIRST and as you train, I promise you half the stupid questions posted here you’ll have answers to. Break a leg!
Stunned:
I, like you, am absolutely taken aback at the many questions and comments that are posted here. It simply boggles the mind at just how uninformed most of these people really are. I have been acting most of my life and after training in NY and many years of doing community theatre and movie extra work, I still have yet to make it in the business. Though I have had supporting roles in independent films and also appeared with Jessica Chastain in a theatrical movie, these types of roles do not come easily and only happen after “paying ones dues,” namely, taking classes, constantly auditioning, networking, having professional photos and resumes, getting and agent, etc….. Acting is harder than almost any other business to break into. It doesn’t happen overnight if it happens at all. Just like any other field, it takes time and work! Also, good looks and talent don’t hurt!! FYI: As my old acting teacher once told me ( a daytime TV actress herself- – Guiding Light, Days of Our Lives), it is even more difficult to get work on a soap opera than it is to get cast in a major commercial, so daytime dramas might be one of the very LAST things to consider. Not to be discouraging, but these are the facts, people! Face them!
You are incorrect and sound very bitter.
Would love to be an actor.
I am a 43 year old mom who has always dreamed of acting on a soap opera. I have experience dancing in front of large crouds(New England Patriots Cheerleader and Disney employee). How can I get an audition in New York? Is it difficult to get an audition? Thanks so much

Hey, there talented undiscovered 21 year old, male living in LA

Actor Nicholas
Does it take a lot of experience and schooling to act in a Role or even as an extra? No it does not. I feel that acting is
in the DNA of any given person and to me, it feels like I am in a room with friends etc. I do not get nervous and I feel confident and happy. Also I have noticed more Plus size females are more prominent now more so than at any time in the past. I am not Plus size but I do have extra pounds to lose, or not. If a person has a unique quality in facial looks and expressions it is priceless. I modeled some in my 20’s, married divorced was a single parent with 2 children now and they are grown and successful. Point is, I am a confident person and would like to have any role. Even at my age now most people think that I am 40 ish. Question is does anyone have experience with the situation that I have described and if I look younger than I am is it just crazy to have this desire to act now that I have the empty nest? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

To Mike 3/22/011:
U must learn the basics about the industry 1st, especially when looking
to attend $$ on a acting/production program. There are too many Books
(yes books) or be willing to seek Real websites for education in film/TV/
& Modeling. 1st Clue, one can get a BA & Masters degree in Acting, but
I can’t think of any college that offers a degree in Modeling. So expect
to pay more & expect more, & Inquire more for Acting – especially who
are the persons teaching at the school/workshops you are considering.
I worked for a very popular Modeling & Acting school in Atlanta, & there
were some persons teaching there that really didn’t have the resume to
be teaching. They were not professionally trained in those areas they
were teaching in, nor did they have national professional [exposed]
experience. Meaning, their work had not been seen nationally, or
similar. So asked about who’s teaching at that program, because that’s
1/2 of what your paying for, along with who has completed the program
that has gone on to do respectful work in the biz. And see if those exact
persons have good things to say about the entire program, or maybe it
was just one Instructor, & not the entire program. Then seek out that
person/instructor for their advice. Good training will not be cheap, but
there are some that are not good programs, but will still charge a lot
for lower quality training/education. Or, find a solid Mentor. You to, have
to use what was given to you, your brain. Read, inquire, & research, goes
a long way in this biz, too many people want the quick fix, that is not the
way…
