Hey Everyone, I'm Angie, as the name states lol Can't believe it was available Anyways, i'm a mom of two kids under 3, engaged to be married and i just turned 25. I need to do something with my life, and i've decided that sitting at home or finding a desk job is not for me!! I have absolutely no experience, unless you count the 3 minute scene in drama where a did a part from "A Mid-Summers Nights Dream", i don't count it. Even though i seem to have mellowed, being couped in my house, i have the positive energy that screen acting demands. I'm intending on getting a student loan and taking a 10 month screen acting coarse, its $10,000 ugh!)

Just thinking about getting up in front of a stage and auditioning makes my heart skip a beat, but i love it Like i used to tell myself in grade school when i was afraid to go up in front of the class, the only way you'll get embarrassed is if you don't do what your supposed to, talk. I was always jealous of those that could do it, but i realized, that others would be jealous of my outer calm, and have no idea of my inner feelings. After a while, it just comes naturally

Anyways, thats me. Anyone know of any actors that started out at a late age?

Hey Angie! Welcome aboard =)

Grats on making the decision to become an actress! I think you'll be great at it!

I think there are a lot of people who start acting at a late age, BUT you're 25 lol, that's not so late

you right of coarse, its never to late! i was looking at an agency in town im in victoria, bc. We get our share of movies, though vancouver gets more... but again, its just a fairy away. Anyways, i was looking at the actors pics on the website, and nearly half of them are very near elderly! So this made me realize thats its all going to be fine

justgroovy

LOL I'm afraid to find out what your definition of "very nearly elderly" is >.<

Please please please keep us updated on how you are doing! When does your screen acting course start?

lol yes, well young at heart i'm sure A lot appeared to be nearing 60's and 70's. As for the school, its a process.... There are a few things i need to do first, pay some bills, find a sitter for my two kids, apply to the school, then apply to student loans so to make sure they'll cover it! but i would imagine in the next 6 months, seems like forever, but it will be even longer if i don't start now Otherwise, there are several classes on my area that range from a few hundred dollars for usually about 6 2hour classes.

But very soon, just as soon as i find a sitter, i'll be joining a theater group as volunteer stage help, and see where it goes from there, No experience is bad experience! Also, there are a few agencies who keep a Free list of background players.

Im in Canada btw, Victoria bc, right next to Vancouver, we get quite a few big production movies come through here luckily

I think the Stargate series was filmed up there, or at least some of it. Maybe you'll make your way into an episode as an alien!

Your right! I just read that yesterday along with a long list of other tv shows that were/are filmed in/near vancouver. LOL yes, it would be hilarious to be an alien extra I was doing a search to see where is the best place in canada to nurse an acting career, and it was a toss up between Toronto and Vancouver, Toronto is Cold! So no, i'd prefer not to go there, they have hot muggy summers and very very cold winter, where-as here on Vancouver Island where i live, and Vancouver the city, we have Great weather all the time, it hardly snows, and almost never sticks, i'm not pro-snow! Mostly, it just rains in the winter, and the summers arn't very hot, there just... nice. Although, Vancouver has a horrible crime rate, worst in Canada so i've heard, i've only visited once, all the other times i was just driving through, far as i could tell, if you just stayed away from E. Hastings you'd be fine. Of course that exactly where we went, walked through 10 blocks of some pretty strange scary stuff, i was 16 at the time. They say Victoria is bad too, but not as far as i can tell.

Anyways, so the consensus was that Toronto is great, but Vancouver is better. Only a 4 day drive from LA too... Ok, well now i'm rambling lol

I just moved from upstate NY (that's what we call the rest of New York State that isn't NYC lol) to just north of San Francisco because I'm not pro-snow either. Weather was really harsh in the winter with a few weeks out of every winter that were at least -15F (-26C) and that's just too cold for lil ol' me.

We just got to California about 3 months ago and except for one week of 100F weather, it's been pretty nice.

If you get a role on Stargate you must A) take a picture of yourself on set and B) let us know when it airs.

Rambling is fine, I do it myself.
