    Hi Wendy! I've been following your videos for a while now, and just wanted to thank you for some recent advice you gave me. I live in Iowa, and have been self taping auditions religiously for the past couple of months now after watching your video telling me to practice before an actual audition. WOW did my acting need work. I have been contacted for, and taped 3 real auditions this week, and got cast in two of them! I fly to New York in March. I can't thank you enough. You're the reason I was able to pull it off :) keep up the good work, and the good advice.

I really feel like I’m meant to act and its what I love to do! I don’t want to wait until I’m 18 to have a real opportunity in Los Angeles. Do you have any advice? (And yes I’m asking this 5 years after you posted the vid)

    Hi Wendy, I’m a 16 year sophomore in high school interested in being an actress in film. My question to you is when I start thinking about collage and my life after collage, I would be interested in moving out to LA at some point in my life to get my acting career in film started. Would you recommend going to collage for acting here in Minnesota where I live and then move out to LA after I am done with collage or go strait to LA for collage? I’m asking you this question because I know a lot of people talk about how hard it is to start a career in LA and I wanted to know your thoughts.

    Bonjour Wendy, et bonjour tout le monde.
    I live in Paris ^^ I'm french. And I don't really like our "style" in most of movies, tv series etc... it's often so cold, grey, the sound and the light are bad...I don't recognize myself and what I want in our Cinema. American Cinema really makes me dream, you really are the best in that art. But if I have to become the new Marion Cotillard to have a chance to play in America, it's gonna be a long long journey (and I'm 28). Any advices or ideas to get a chance to play for example a french girl in US movies? : ) Thank you for all those videos, it's very motivating. Melodie

    I know your a Hollywood Talent Manager, but just wanted to ask a quick q. I just discovered you on UA-cam, so if someone has asked this already or if you already answered this I do apologize. I want to know, do you have any advice for aspiring Broadway singers/actors? How does being on Broadway as to a Hollywood Star differ etc?

    • @wendyalane1
      @wendyalane1  9 років тому +2

      Actors who work on Broadway tend to live and audition for Theater in New York City year round. Broadways actors strongly and intensely develop 3 skills: Acting, Singing and Dancing. Hollywood actors are typically auditioning for TV and Film projects.

      The Hollywood Talent Manager Wendy Alane Wright Thank You. I said Broadway, but what I really mean is in general, Off-Broadway and all aspects of theater. I am going to a University near Atlanta, Georgia to study Theater and Performing arts. I want to study all aspects of Theater not just performance..things like stage design, directing, costume design etc. I am going to start reading your book which I know will give me a good insight to auditioning and other things. Do you have any other good reads that I can read upon that focus on theater specifically? Sorry to keep bothering you, thank you so much for the great information you give us!

    Hi Wendy, do you think it's possible for me to achieve something in acting if my parents don't support me (I'm 14). They aren't against me being an actress but just aren't t big fans of that idea.
    It has been my dream since I can even remember. Also, I have experience of filming in series about 2 years ago and I went to a theatre school for like 3 years until we moved. Now I bought an online webinar and practice from there..
    I am really passionate about acting and I am going to follow your advices, but I just really need your opinion:
    do you think I should try or is it just pointless?

    Hey Wendy, I'm a 21 year old actor from Toronto. I've gotten many student film and independent film credits, but want to get some real solid training for a good 2-3 years. I'm thinking of moving to New York to study at Lee Strasberg. Although it is expensive, I'd like a well established conservatory style training centre. My top option however is the National Theatre School of Canada, in which only 12 people get in yearly. I'm just confused as to what's best for me. SO many options. What are your quick thoughts on that?

      Andrew John They steps are the same in either place. You have to be good at networking, following up with people you meet, doing short films and webseries, getting an agent and auditioning, training, training, training. You decide. If you are doing everything you are supposed to do you will find opportunities in both places. Try both places. You need to read my book HOW TO BE A STAR RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE so you can make sure you are doing the RIGHT things whereever you live.

      But yes there are a lot of opportunities springing up in Lousiana. You could be a bigger fish in their smaller pond if you go there.

However, I’m young and I live in the middle of Nebraska with a population of 4,400. My parents know and they support it, but they’re not the type who would go out of the way to do all this stuff for me. I’m hoping to go to college in California to experience the life their and I’m hoping to be able to make it. But I’m in a pretty tough spot.

      Go to acting schools or clubs. Make your own films and put them on UA-cam. Do research. Get spotted. Apply for agencies so then you can apply for your own jobs. And you never know who is watching your stuff. The more you do now the more credits you’ll have! So agents will like you more.
