Hey I saw papermill's acting and improv. class and I was wondering if this would be good to take. Or should I take a film acting class? I'm not sure what to take =\

*btw i'm a "somewhat" newbie. i like to act though but I just wanted some experience in front of the camera to get me prepared. but i also want to study acting more.

If you're looking for on-camera experience, make sure there is an on-camera component to the class. There is one studio that offers on camera work in a nearby town, but I'd stay away from them--PM me for more info. You might be better off taking classes in NY--there might be a weekend intensive if getting in a regular basis is tough.

Have you thought about doing student films? They are a great way to get experience "on camera" you do not get paid but you can use it on your resume and its something to start with getting comfortable in front of a camera.

so you think i should take the acting class and just do student films for experience? Also, usually a lot of student films are listed on mandy.com and I've emailed them on there but nobody, if any, have emailed back? Where do you look for student films?

My son has gotten 3 aud for student films on that mandy website and booked his first lead role in one thru them. You can find them on nycastings.com as well as some on this website. If you fit the role someone will get back to you. Theres always students looking for actors. Dont give up!!! Good luck.

thanks
