I live ion New Zealand, that little tiny island off australia for all of you who dont know it. I want to become an actress, or get into theatre but its really hard because there are hardly any opportunities out here. More and more movies are getting made here but they are all being produced in America so there are no available parts i can find. Im in Wellington, the captial, but all the work seems to be in Auckland, up north and i cant just pick up my stuff and go - im only 15. So what can i do? Any one got any advice?

Go to acting classes and get a lot of experience in plays and community theatre. Then when you're older and have finished school move to wherever and have a go at it. Even if you could up and leave now, you wouldn't want to, you're only 15. You'd just become a child star and be in rehab by like 20. Like Mischa Barton. Look at Mischa Barton. She's kinda gross now.

Audition and get involved online, here: http://dramuseproductions.weebly.com/ You don't need to live anywhere in particular, all you need is a good mic. All the best :)

Since you're 15 you might want to consider going to a local theater to get some acting experience, if you're talking about Hollywood wise you might want to wait until you graduate and then search for an acting college. Most of all, though, get exposure to some acting, theatrical or not. Without that, you're not going to get far.

hi heres a free website for auditions for new Zealand (and other places) just click on it and do what it tells you to and it will list auditions http://www.mandy.com/place/newz.cfm and it's free. I don't think you should move to Hollywood straight away move to your capital city if you make it big there then move to Hollywood or where ever i live just outside London so if i make it big in London then i could move to America im just gonna be patience. GOOD LUCK PURSUIT YOUR DREAMS

there's not a simple easy way to do this. you have to be where there are things to do. there is not a way around that. take advantage of whatever you have around you, and when you are able, get yourself to where there is something to do.
