Hi, I'm Sherry Blackwell and I want to be an actor. I had this dream since I was a kid and told my mom at 21 that I wanted to attend an acting school in NYC. She was dead set against it; me being the good kid I was I obeyed and decided to study film/tv production instead. I'm glad I did study film because I also love to write and have directed some short films as well. However, that's not quite working as of yet. I started this journey at 27 and now I'm 46 and just realizing that my biggest dream was to be in front of the camera, not behind it. I've looked on Backstage, etc. but a lot of these sites want you to pay $$$$. Does anyone know of casting call websites that are free?

Actors Access is free to join, but you will have to pay a small fee when you submit. It's a 100% legit website, though, and occasionally you find full-budget productions putting out open calls. Tyler Perry Studios here in Atlanta puts out breakdowns publicly (i.e. you don't need an agent to see the breakdowns and submit yourself). Hope that helps!

Hi Sherry, I would also encourage you to check out Central Casting if you'd like to just get some experience on set. I'm not sure what your experience level is in front of the camera but you might enjoy even just a few days of being an extra to see what it's like on the other side. And make a little money.

Great tip from Niki especially if you’re just getting started. Learn the ropes of what it’s like to work on set and network!
