Need MORE help.

A simple passerby...
Well, I know right now, I sound like a guy with a lot of troubles. lol sorry for posting so much "need help" threads around here, but I wouldn't if I didn't have to.

You see, finally had this cast dinner (I do school drama and we didn't get a chance to go out for dinner, my teacher's treat) but yeah, we finally got to go out and all. My teacher told me I should consider going to auditions and trying to get more into acting. He said I got real talent and that I could end up in Hollywood.

Thing is, I don't know how. I mean I know it's going to auditions and all, but I live in freakin Thailand. I AM going on a vacation to the US in August this year and in April next year, and my mom said I have two weeks to do what I want. I figured I might try out for a movie, but I don't know how I'm supposed to go try for one when I don't anything much. I've been the Universal Studios and all that crap in LA, but I wanna actually go audition for some movies and see if I get the parts. I'm also pretty sure I can get the parts because I know a few characters in a few upcoming movies that hasn't been casted yet and I'm pretty sure I could play them just as good.

So I need anyone's help, if any of you know what I'm supposed to do first. Like, basically give me a what when where who and how (i've got why covered lol) since I basically don't know much about the US since I don't live there.

Also, do I have to get some sort of acting agent too? I mean pretty hard to find one in Thailand and all.

Why try breaking into the States now? There's plenty of Thai dramas to be in ;)

It's just that, I don't really like Thai dramas. To be honest, they half bullshit sometimes. Their movies are sometimes bizarre. I mean I don't hate Thai productions or anything, but it's not my style if you get what I mean.

The only kinds of Thai movies I like are those ones by Workpoint. They've got the BEST comedy ever.

Plus, it's good money too ain't it? Well I'm not in it for the money or fame. I want to be in those big movies. They seem REALLY fun to play the characters and I'd really like it if I could play those characters that I like.

Sometimes you have to be in crap to pay the bills before you hit it big.
I say try out for some Thai works, shure up your resume and then try to break into Hollywood.

Thing is though, I'm 15, still young and all. There are bonuses that I would love to play as if I'm not too old by the time I get into hollywood. Plus, I'm not a real Thai anyways, though I do speak thai and was raised here and all.

One way to get an audition is by signing up with one of those acting agency website where you can put a profile there. Lots of minor actors and actresses use this method. Atleast that's one way that I know. Hope this helps.

That's the word I'm afraid of. I really want to land one of those good roles on the first few tries and make a break through in the first year or something. I know it sounds like a lot to hope for, but I'm REALLY sure I can do it. Is there a way to contact Hollywood or something and ask for audition schedules?
 
I auditioned for porn a few times but never got the parts because of my impotance problem, having ass acne didn't help either.
 
You can't just expect to hit the dream role you've always wanted. You have to build yourself up. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but I really doubt you're good enough for the roles you're wanting (especially in the US) if you turn your nose at things you don't like.
By god I hate Disney musicals, but when I got asked to be part of the drama gang in the on stage version in the UK I took the part because it was just a stepping stone for my career in acting. To this day I would say that is the most fun production I've ever been in.
If you don't enjoying watching certain genres, being in them doesn't have to be the same. You need to welcome opportunities with open arms, not shutting them down.

Today I actually got some good news. My cousin whom I haven't talked to in ages, turns out he's a movie producer (HOW COULD I FORGET THAT), but he hasn't been really successful in the job so I think he shifted back into family business. I think I could ask him to get me an agent and take your advice in doing those Thai movies or something. Then go turn in my resume huh? Sounds like a really nice plan. Thanks man.
