When I First Started

Almost four years ago when I first started to get interested in acting, I was desperately looking for someone, anyone to sit down with me and take me through what I needed to do to be successful with regard to how to start an acting career. But, I couldn't find anyone, so I had to figure things out for myself. I did and I started to get some results. To date I have done voice over, independent films, industrials (live events and corporate videos: which is what I love!), commercial print, extra work and television. I vowed that when I did start to get work as an actor and start to get on my way, that I would share whatever knowledge I had to help young and new actors to start to achieve the success they want in their acting careers.Every day, I do more to further my career. How about you?

The Actor Quiz

Among the actors who fill out my actor quiz and who have come to me to find out how to start an acting career, the most common answers to some important questions are:

*Have been acting for more than five years

*Have been working as an actor on the average of two days per month

*Have not been taking classes

*Don't know the different acting techniques that there are

*Don't have a solid acting technique to fall back on

*Don't have an agent

*Are still not sure how to get an agent

*Are not actively promoting themselves

*Have no money problems

*Have no idea what is really going on in the industry and don't know who is casting the types of projects they are interested in

*Don't read the trade papers regularly

Do these answers reflect in any way your situation? If you have some experience acting, but you are not auditioning much, not working much then please go and take the quiz.

What you’re doing is great Anthony. Whenever I read the things on your site, the interviews and even your book, I feel like if only everybody got to read this before they got started, they would be so much better off and everybody else (casting directors, agents, directors, etc.) would be so much better off too.

Tony,
I want to say you changed my life. I want to be an actress so bad, but i began losing motivation when I couldn't figure out what to do. And then I found you! Thanks to you, I'm taking my first acting classes next month! Yippee!

Hi Tony
I would like to thank you for helping me with the monologue question I asked you. I went to the auditions for a Drama course and I am happy to say that I have been accepted as a first-year student at the Tshwane University of Technology. Please keep on sending me those newsletters and let me know where I can find books that will help me in my acting career. Thank you once more. Have a blessed day.
Sincerely
Edward Thaba -South Africa

Dear Anthony,
Just wanted to thank you for bringing me in to [audition for the video], meet you and chat this Saturday. I was really excited to hear about your working on actingcareerstartup.com and even took a look at it today - it's awesome! You are very well-spoken, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and it shows through the work that you do! I hope our paths in the industry will cross again and really enjoyed meeting you. Thanks, again and best wishes with your very important work!
Warmly,
Gretchen, NY, NY

Hey Tony, thanks for the info, yours by far is the most useful, I am 30 years old, and I myself always (secretly) wanted to be an actress, but I never knew where to begin, so thank you. You have given me hope!
