Does anyone know where to find real auditions?

Does anyone know where I can find out about auditions?

• I love to act but never know where to look for auditions. So if you know of a good website, it'll be a great help. Thanks XX

• Answer:

  Auditions are not found on websites. The only way to find genuine auditions is through a good agent. They don't just advertise auditions, because if they did, hundreds of amateurs would turn up wasting everyone's time. You might be able to get an agent to represent you if you have a really impressive resume, detailing how many years of training you've had, naming the acting school, and any other professionally-run workshops or training sessions you've attended, and a long list of stage plays in which you've taken leading roles in the last couple of years. If you don't have that, no-one would audition you at all, so it wouldn't be worth any agent considering you.
