One more site about monologues!

Like I promised, I did some more research and found a good website if you don't know how to find monologues. I looked into and this is how it works:

The monologues are separated into comedic, dramatic(remember I said that agencies usually ask for a comedic and a dramatic monologue?)classic, "for children" and "for seniors".
Once you choose your type of monologue and if you are a woman or a man you'll be able to choose from a list of monologues(with title and author).
My advice is read a few, choose the ones you like and from those, choose the one that best fits what your agency is asking for.
Hope this helps you guys.

Yes, I've been doing some research and like I said in the previous post click here to read it I'm going to post some monologues in here and some sites where you can find them.
Like I was saying, I've been doing some research and I found this site about monologues (well, actually it's a blog) and I couldn't look in it as much as I should've but I found some monologues that seem good and that you guys might like. Link for the site below.

That's it guys, I hope this helps. Later on I promise I'm going to do some more research and try and find some more monologues for you guys. Of course you can search by yourself in the Internet or in books that you like.
I didn't put as much time in this research bout monologues yet but I'm going to.

For everybody who doesn't know an agency and doesn't know how to find one either, and lives in the US, here's an easy way to find an agency near you.
Just go to the website http://www.aftra.com/home.htm and enter your city, and there you'll find agencies in your city and information about them.
The rest is easy, just find one agency that you like and call them, ask if they are taking new talent and if you could (and when you could) go there for an audition.
In case they are not taking new talent, or if you don't get accepted, don't worry, just go to http://www.aftra.com/home.htm and find a new agency. Keep trying.
Once you are IN the agency, you'll get work really fast, because it's all up to the agent, and I think he knows what he's doing.
Good luck guys!!

PS. Yes, there are extras agencies in the site as well, so if that's what you're looking for, just make sure the one you choose to call is for extras(no, they are not the same thing. Post about that coming soon)

Obs. That site is for people who live, or who are looking for agencies in the US only. There are no other countries in that.

Oh, and just so you know, my photoshoot was 10 days ago, which means I'm probably getting my pictures in 35 days. I'm so excited! ;)

Acting Techiniques Online

I've been searching around and I found out that many, many people ask if they should get acting classes, if online tips helped and stuff like that.
The answer is: it depends
On what? On you
What I mean is, there are lots of helpful techiniques that are listed online and there are tips that actually help you become a better actor. But mostly it depends on you. There are tips and techiniques that may be helpful for me and may not work with someone else. Like, how to fake cry and how to fake laugh and how to do this and that.
But the truth is, there are lots of ways to do those things and they might work for you or not, so keep trying and if it doesn't work, just try something else.
Example: I can't fake cry(I can pretend I'm crying(and it actually sounds pretty real) but if you don't see my face but no tears come out), but I'm still working on that.
So just keep looking for the way that works the best for you and keep working. ;)

Hope I helped.

PS. Sorry, I couldn't update last friday. But I have reasons, and the reason is that I drove(I mean, my mom drove, I was just bored in the car) all the way from Arlington to New York, and then I had to take a shower and unpack and pack again, and I did log on to my blog but I didn't really have time to do anything because I had to get ready and get a plane to L.A.(I know what you're thinking. Why didn't you just get the plane from VA to LA. My mom's weird like that sometimes.), and when I got to LA finally, I was super tired and hungry(I get sick with airplane food) and the only things I could think about was FOOD, and BED(which by the way, was the most confortable bed I've ever slept) and I had a pretty busy weekend. I mean, I spent my whole weekend on my friend Emily's house and I didn't even touch a computer, so I couldn't even make up to it during the weekend.
Sorry!

Casting Websites and SCAMS!

Many people are not really into the whole "get an agent" thing, which I seriously don't understand. I mean, if you're willing to be an actor you should be willing to get an agent. But, many people just rather "get a shortcut" and subscribe in a Casting Website. First of all there are no shortcuts. I mean, literally, it's going to be a long way either way.
So if you want to try and get discovered on one of these Casting Websites, be my guest to subscribe. Just make sure it's not a big SCAM.
Yeah, unfortunatelly, there are bad people in the world. And there are people who are trying to get your money, so before you subscribe to ANY website, google "nameofthewebsite scam" and you are going to find out, if that website is a scam or not.
And DO NOT subscribe if it costs anything. It should be free. An agency is free. A Open Call is free. Casting Websites are free. So don't pay anything for it.
That's it for today. Hope it helped.
