QUESTION: hello!
well i decied to ask for advise because i really love to act and dance sometimes i even search for movie scripts and memorised it.well i used to go to an acting and modeling school in los angeles, i was also part of a tv show, but then my grandma got sick an i had stopped every thing so i don't know who to go back and start. well i hope that you can answer my question and thank you very muchhh.

ANSWER: Hi there Keld...And thanks for writing.

It sounds like you were able to get into acting and dancing before as well as modeling.  To start our conversation, would you mind thinking about how you got into things then?  What steps did you take before to be in a tv show?  Was it through the school?  

Once you write back with the answer to this question, then we can move to the next step.

QUESTION: well it wasn't from the school i actually when to a private school for that. that school helped me alot but that school is in los angeles and i live in las vegas now. what can you recomend me to start?well thanks for taking the time to read my letter. bye

ANSWER: Hi there, Keld...And thanks for writing back :).

Are there any community theatres or professional theatres?  Find out if there are and ask for audition times.  

Do you have an audition piece you could do (a monologue from one of the shows you did in LA)?  Prep a piece and audition at those theatres.  

Does that help?

Answer
Hi Keld...You are most welcome for the help.

Are you able to do some searching online for your local theatres?  Community or professional theatres have audition times usually posted on their websites or if you phone you could find out about them.  

Does that help you?
