p.s my name is sophia

ANSWER: Hi Sophia!

First, what agency?

Second, If you want to impress agencies, go ahead and sing "My Favorite Things"--from Sound of Music or "Matchmaker" from Fiddler on the Roof.

Acting Piece: A dialogue set from Guys and Dolls from "Adelaide"

Third: At 11, print modeling is the only form of modeling agencies will consider you for. They might consider you for clothing store ads, commercials, etc. Just have a professional company put together a portfolio and let your face and personality do the talking.

Hope this helps! Any more questions, just ask!

Thanks!

Evan

QUESTION: hi i emailed you before and you advice me to do the dialog out of guys and dolls as Adelaide could you please e-mail me the script part which you think would soot me as soon as possible out of the guys and dolls also i heard that there is a Sarah brown part if you could e-mail me with a part you think would soot me out of her speech please thank you.

Answer
Hi Sophia!

Unfortunately you cannot retrieve dialogue from plays/musicals (in almost all cases) without the consent of a major script corporation. If a monologue is what you are looking for, try typing in "Monologues for teens" on Google and see what pops up.

So sorry I could not be of help in this particular situation.

Best of Luck!

Evan
