brisbane acting agencies

Are the any acting agencies in brisbane?

please help

Of course.

First off, check out local auditions at theatre.asn.au, or read up on Aussietheatre.com. If you’re keen, pay for a membership at QuietOnSet.com.au or Artshub.com.au; they list heaps of auditions every day around Australia. Another good site is screenhub.com.au.

My best advice is to visit the first link, head to the FAQ section, and read about finding agents in Australia, how to find work, etc. It also has a lot of stuff about dodgy Aussie agents to avoid. There’s heaps of free info there for new actors, and is practically the best place you can find info for emerging actors. There’s also a huge list of performing arts companies that you can search by suburb, and any number of threads started by other actors looking for agents.

Visit www.alliance.org.au, the actor’s union for Australia and join. They also have a list of agents.

If you don’t have experience don’t expect a professional role or an agent. I suggest you use the next years to build up experience, and then try applying for a local uni course. Trust me, there are too many actors out there and not enough roles. Everyone wants to be in Home and Away and Neighbours; very few actually do it.

Think about attending WAAPA, NIDA or VCA or one of the many great courses out there (there are heaps).

… By the way, I’m the only one here giving you advice – so far- that is relative to Australia. DON’T sign up for one of those American talent sites. They are scams and never have anything for Australian auditions.
