Question
Hi, My name is Jenna, and I am 20. I live in Georgia. Ina few tears, I plan to move to Hollywood, in hopes to pursue a career in film. But for now, I just want to get into a little "background" acting. What is a good website, Or source to get updates for casting calls near me? And also, any advice for a aspiring actress or filmmaker? Thanks!

Answer
Hello Jenna, If you are in or near Atlanta, you are  in a good spot to get established as an actor.  You need to do a lot more than "a little background acting" in order to become a film actress.  If you want to be a film maker, you should seriously study the process at a reputable school such at the LA Film School.  The best web site is Actor Access. It has a monthly fee, but is reliable. There were open auditions for a film in Atlanta just last Sunday. For advice on becoming an actress, write me at kencosp@aol.com and I will send you my ebook on the topic. God bless, Doc
