act in an indy movie

how can I improve? Personally, I think good actors and actresses are people who are really empathic because they can think about how another person (real or fictional) is feeling in a situation and start feeling somewhat like that themselves, making it easier to “act” like they feel that way. I think part of it is acting, but part of it is genuine feeling. I’m not sure if I can get inside someone else that well. I have trouble faking laughter and tears. Anger I can do more easily, I think. How sad is that? Sometimes, when hormonal, tears are easier. What is wrong with me?

Anyway, I had someone ask me if I could act cause they’re thinking about making a movie and need free actors/acresses. I told them honestly, that I suck, but I think it would be fun to do it and I’m free. I don’t know if she’s actually going to make it or not, but if she does, I want to do it, but I want to be GOOD…..or at least FAIRLY GOOD. I mean, magnificent might be impossible, but I just want to be decent or fairly good.

act in a movie that gives me chills and I want to do it well, but I’m just not really that good at acting. I don’t have the empathy for it, sadly. I think you have to have a certain mental and emotional composition to be able to be a talented actor/actress. I really want to do this, though. I’ve been thinking of doing acting exercises, but I feel there is only so much they can do for me if I am not naturally talented.
Also, I’m not sure where to look for an acting job. I saw an advertisement once on the outside of a tattoo and piercing parlor for actors needed for an amateur movie. I thought about checking it out, but didn’t and now it’s too late. Now, I don’t know where to look for try outs.

would join this group. I think most people who want to act in a movie of any sort, including an indie movie, are joining under the generic goal of “act in a movie.” I am considering swtiching over, but I like this being specific, since acting in an indie movie seems like quite a different goal in a way, than acting in a major hollywood production. Your chances of acting in a Hollywood film are much less and also the steps you need to achieve that goal would be somewhat different than the steps you’d have to take to act in an indie movie. I just like joining the groups with more people because I figure that you get more responses and feedback from a larger group. Plus, you get to see more posts by other people. However, the act in a movie group isn’t that active. The last post there has been several weeks ago.

I think I would actually do best playing either someone angry or someone crazy. It’s kind of sad because the “angry” part is due to me being such an angry person. I wish I didn’t have an anger problem. I hate myself sometimes.

Part of me would love to do this, despite the fact that I think I suck at acting and I have an anxiety problem. It’s still on my things to do before I die list. I wouldn’t want to act in just any film, though. I want one with a plot that touches me. It doesn’t have to be mushy, but I’d like it to affect me emotionally on some level. I’d especially like to act in a movie that gives me chills when I read the plot. Anyways, I think I might do best playing someone who is angry or crazy. lol. Woo.
