Frequently Asked Questions:

I have wanted to be an actor forever. What’s the best way to get started?

The Agents will tell you to start right where you are – in community theatre, school plays, and church productions. Take acting classes. Excel in everything you do. Try singing, dance, and sports.

If you want to meet major agents, managers and casting directors from cities like New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, or Chicago, AMTC offers you the opportunity to spend 6 days with dozens of top career makers – to audition for them and attend their seminars. As anyone who has tried knocking on doors in a big city will tell you, it’s just about impossible to get to act, sing, or dance for agents. The majority do not hold open calls. We’re very proud of our talent success stories. They all started with an AMTC audition.
