Actors

[thecrowdravin]

Ok I no I could use friends but since I’m only 14 and the majority of my friends are horrible thespians, what is the easiest way to get locale actors to work on your project. Both young and old.


EDIT

I forgot to mention all actors must be totally free!!

well most people wont work for a 14 yr old, but i used to model and their were alot of actors there so find a local modelingand actor agency and u should be good to go

Thank any more suggestions

youre 14 so you should be in highschool right? or be there next year. But anyways, talk to people in the drama club and class. Ive gotten about 8 people from there before to work on a friends project. The only thing about drama people is that theyre used to the stage acting, you gotta get them to tone it down a bit on film. Dont want them to come across as...er....flamboyant.

Thanks drama club is a good idea but what about older people.

Yeah, drama acting is way different from film, not only do they try to project their voices alot but they usually overact.

Ich, over-acting is not a fair comment DEDFX, the demands of the theatre are very different from film, however, it is an important point that directors should be aware of, that most acting training stems from theatre, with varying consequences for most folks student films etc

Nice observation. More post!!

The thing is to have a definite plan for a flick and seem confident. People are attracted to organised and confident projects/people
