To Tony,
I have to say this is the best acting site i have EVER been to. I'm sure you have helped many people begin their dream!
I've helped in advertising your site to over 38 of my aspiring actor friends.
You are doing an amazing thing by helping these people.
I wish you the best in your acting career so that you may be a role model for all those who look up to your sucess.

Anthony,
Happy New year to you. I really enjoy your e-mails and your website. As someone who has just started the journey of becoming an actor I enjoy your site which is full of wonderful insights and answers to questions I have had, and it's funny but it seems as though every time you update your site, it answers a question I have been struggling with at that point.
Thank you for your website, you have helped me a lot as I know you have helped numerous others.
Have a wonderful 2008 and may you break a leg in everything you do this year as an actor.

I did what you said and…I got two interviews with two agents! Thank you! Sorry but can I ask you…how do I prepare to go meet the agent? What do I have to do?

I just wanted to let you know that I copied a quote of your's and I'm putting it on my refrigerator when I move to L.A. this next week. Thanks for the continued encouragement to all of us trying to achieve our goals. Keep up the good work.
Best,

Teen Acting Information
Nowadays there is not as much teen acting information as there needs to be. Each year thousands and thousands of teens decide that acting is the profession they want to pursue. Having said that, the competition among actors in that group particularly is immense. It has been said that the competition in that category (those actually making an effort to get work, find agents and get auditions) is more than double that of most other demographic categories of actors. So what does that mean? It means that if you are a teen and you want to be competitive and have a real shot at getting a job, then you have to do your homework and be prepared!
Here below are the links to several pages on actingcareerstartup.com that might give some insight not only of what it will be like to pursue this career, they will also give you some real and concrete help to lay a solid foundation in the start of your new acting career.

Hi Tony
I would like to thank you for helping me with the monologue question I asked in October 2007. 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

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!

Hi, I’m John.
You answered a question for me about two weeks ago about how to write my cover letters…I want you to know your advice was helpful. I got called in for a part as an extra in my first movie! It’s not big, but it’s my first one! Thanks for your help!
