Hi I'm Autumn. It would be great if i could star in this movie. I have been working on my acting skills for a while.
Here's my info :
age: 12 (can pass as 14-15)
height: 5'1
weight: 98 pounds
hair color: brown
eye color: brown
race: black and white (but light)
state: California
I'm a hard worker and fast learner. I will try my hardest if you give me the opportunity to take part in this movie. Hope to hear from you soon.
To whom ever this my concern,
Hello I’m Andy and I’m an 18 year-old, Asian (Hmong) male, currently living in Los Angeles. I have brown eyes, short black hair, weight about 130 pounds and stand about 5’7. I’m leaving a comment here, hoping to be a part in your film. The possibility of this wonder is high, however taking the first step to actually tried, never hurts. I’m a handsome, mature young man with a charming, generous personality. I have a passion for film, theater, and any form of art that falls into that category. However, I enjoy acting more than the others because when one acts, she/he falls into a world where it’s not reality, but imagination created by the scriptwriters and/or director(s).
I have had some experiences where it was similar to working in a film business. I know the preparation takes a lot of time and everything is on a schedule. I’m well aware of my duties and what is expected of me.
Yes, becoming an Actor is my goal, my passion, my dream! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do when I discovered I was unique at it and how much I enjoyed acting. I crave for it, I can’t live without it. If I were to be casted, it would be an honor and a privilege.
Thank for your time, and hope you take me into consideration.
ANDY
