I successfully ran a theatre company for four years and let me give you a bit of advice. First there is training. There has to be some local theatre schools with a good reputation. Please, before investing a single cent, look into the reputation. As I am Canadian, I am not sure if Hawaii's local college has a theatre program or not, but that might be a good place to start. As well, there are a number of television and movie programs usually filmed in Hawaii. I know that getting in touch with someone on the set is usually impossible, but you can try. Believe it or not, advice is free and professionals are always willing to hand it out to someone who's eager and willing to listen. Also, scan your local papers. Every newspaper you can get your hands on. Free or otherwise. Search for new shows filming or staging in your area (Hawaii is pretty small, so I don't know if travel is a problem or not). Some pretty big companies will advertise for extras in a local newspaper byline (that's the story on the shoot) or in the classifieds. You can also go online and e-mail some professionals and ask for advice. Also, don't be afraid of hitting the local theatre companies. Ask what they want for auditions. Let me tell you, you'll make or break yourself at an audition. You may be perfect for a part, but an inappropriate piece will see you to the door. Keep trying and don't take no for an answer. If you think you can do it, you can.

House is a brilliantly written show with very high production values and great casting!\nHugh Laurie is a fantastic English actor and no-one could convey the role like him (like Ian McShane in Deadwood - another awesome show). Also quite well researched and medically correct from what my doctor friends tell me... Very cool!\nWe have a house and Japanese night every Wednesday (I live in Melbourne, Australia) at our house. That's tonight - yay!

first u need to move to florida ao u are available for a lot of casting calls. You need to go and get some head shots done so you can bring them with you. You also need a very supportive family to bring you to the auditions. There is no easy route to success. You will probably be turned down hundreds of times but if you want it that badly, you will stick with it.

If you're just starting out, more than likely no reputable agency will pick you up quite yet. You need to get some experience under your belt first. Try going to starzcasting.com. You can search casting calls there and also find some good info on starting out in modeling. Good luck!

Well, looking at your name, you want to be one of the actors there soo... \n\nTry to know when auditions will be open for a role sometime. I saw some new Wendy Wu show, that might work.\n\nStay updated, check on their website. \n\nAnd ask your parents to help you through this.\n\nGood luck!

Yes I sure could see myself as a celebrity. I'm older now and I think the maturity level would help being in a world that is so fast paced. Plus sometimes it can be overwhelming as well as tempting. I would surely be about business and trying to keep my career on track. Good luck to you in your venture and let all of us know how it turns out. Keep us posted so you can say, your real fans are on Yahoo Answers!

I met Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner when they were in Crystal Beach, ON (near my hometime) a LOOOONG time ago filming a commercial and they were very nice. Heather admired my little brother who was 2 or so at the time. He's now 23 so that tells you how long ago it was, lol.

check the crime rate, check the school standing nationally, check the neighborhoods, check the local tax rate. what about the seasons?  without these numbers it is too difficult to decide. you say fiance, do you want kids, how friendly is the new place to kid and family activities? is the birth hopital good? \nIt is always good to try something new, but it has great risk. You know these jobs, you know these people, what about the new ones? Can you come back if you change your mind? if the new place is awful? Will you be losing any major benefits like health care or pensions?\nAvoid declining states like Ohio, land poor states like Hawaii, or incredibly money poor states like Nebraska and Tennessee (average income is less than 30,000, to name only a few). No matter what state, there are towns that will never accept a newcomer as a local. That means police harrassment for anything and everything. Example, setting trash out for pick up too early or not keeping your lawn the requisite three and one half inches tall...  (I have lived in each of these places so please don't be a hater, I wasn't a local, I didn't know the "rules" and have a bad taste in my mouth from these places, I actually still live in one of the states listed) \nIt is worth a bit more research, the more that you look, you will find a concrete answer to what you ask by finding something important to you. Also, checking the top ten lists of metros will help. (kid friendly list, crime rate list etc.)Trust me when I say the numbers and risks and benefits are not the same when you dig far enough down.\nYou may want to stay, you may want to go, but your digging will show you everything that you have maybe missed doing where you are before you leave.

I can see that your parents/family are big influences to you. If you really want to do your schooling out here I think you would have to do some pretty big convincing. I think It may  be best to concentrate on the positives. If you do want to attend school in the entertainment industry it may be best to go to one of the film schools in Los Angeles. I know the University of Southern California has a good one, and there are a few other private schools with good programs. This is where Hollywood is you know. ;-) \n\nI feel you may have a better chance of getting your parents to let you come out here if you tell them that you are going to film school to be a director/producer rather than an actress. It simply sounds more prestegious.  Going in this direction may also benefit you professionally. Dont lie to them and say you dont want to act. Just tell them that you may want to only play small parts in your own movies, and that they can have parts too. Make a joke out of it. You can also let them know that you want to make Filipino movies also. \n\nDo research on the schools before hand, so that you can tell them all the good things about the schools you are planning to go to. A lot of film schools out here are very prestegious. You can find all the information on the schools websites.\nYou can also let them know of the huge filipino (and Asian) population and culture Los Angeles and America has. Or if it helps, and if you want to, say you will live with your uncle and he will watch you. Good luck! Remember ask nicely, be very very persistent, respectful, dont pout and concentrate on all the positives. Ask them like you are a grown woman and have already decided. See ya in Hollywood.!

Do you know the way to San Jose?\nI've been away so long, I've lost my way.\nL.A. is a great big freeway, put a hundred down and buy a car.\nIn a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star.\nWeeks turn into years, \nAnd all the stars, who never were, are parking cars or pumpin' gas. (Bert Bacharach / Dionne Warwick)\n\nWait until you finish highschool, take drama classes, act in about 20 amateur plays, get your teeth straightened, finish a few years of college, prove to yourself  that you can have small goals and accomplish them.  Take MORE drama lessons, and singing, and dance, and get acting roles in your own city....\nThen go to Los Angeles.

Pushy parent alert.\nDon't most 5 year olds want to be actresses?\nThere is little chance of your daughter becoming a movie star, and she will probably grow out of it and start thinking about serious career choices in the next few years. Most young girls want to be famous - it's normal.

Besides like strippers and such?  Waitresses get tips every day.  Gee let's see.  Oahu is near Pearl Harbor, you could probably sell lays on the side of the road by the airport.  The thing of it is, in order to live on Oahu, you need to have a job that pays well enough for you to afford the home or apartment, unless you are planning to pay day by day as well?  That would cost a ton.  The job market for howlies who want to be pd. daily is not great.  Maybe  workforce has  an establishment there.  I say waitress, best shot.  Oahu is a big place, go to the unelmployment office for help.

Talk to your parents about it. Maybe do Beauty Pagents.  Search online for open casting calls. Use Google and type in "open casting calls models" and something should pop-up. It'd be good if u live near New York or LA or maybe another major city.

Do you want to be an actor or a personality. The difference is that actors, like Tom Hanks, find expressing characters through performance to be rewarding. Personalities, like Paris Hilton, want you to like them every time you see them. They basically are the same person, no matter what they do.\n\nFigure out who it is you'd like to pattern your career after - If you want to be a personality or an actor ... study the person/s you'd most like to be and find out ... did they go to school, did they do a lot of auditions or what did they do to be a success. Then try do do
