Question
Hey,
I am really into Acting and always have been, I Dance and Sing which my mum says will also help becoming an Actress do you have Any tips for me and I live in Duncan B.C Also should I get an Agent ? and would you suggest anyone?
Hey Haley, It is most important that you do lots of acting in school plays and community plays. It is probably too early for your to get an agent. Agents do not make people into actors, they represent people who are already actors. If you live near Vancouver, you are in a good place to get established as an actor a bit later on when you have a strong resume. Best wishes and God bless, Doc
