Well my question just is, please can you help me how i can audition or get noticed or how i start of? thanks alot!

Answer
Chloe,

Thanks for writing. I can tell your incredibly passionate about pursuing an acting career. Good for you! Never lose sight of your dream because pursuing an acting career can be a tough road!

I'm not a talent agent, and as such, I cannot help you get an audition. You need to find an agent in the UK who believes you have talent and who believes he can help you to obtain auditions for film, television and theater roles. At 14, the best thing you can do is audition for as much local theater as you can. Then, when you are appearing in something, invite as many talent agents as you can to see you perform. If they like what they see, they may be interested in representing you. Then you're on your way!

Hope this helps. Good luck with you career!
