I said something a couple days ago to a person on here(Julia, I think?) about acting and auditions and stuff. I should add that I could be wrong about a couple of things. I haven't done much. I had a small part with like two lines in one of the bigger local musicals, and took turns with another girl playing a main character in a kid's theatre musical(it went on the road to a couple of towns, which was crazy fun BTW!).

Oh, and I was also in a movie. Once. A small one. A direct-to-DVD one. And I didn't talk, only danced and sang. It, too, was a musical.

So I don't know everything-and-anything and I am not the preteen be all and end all of show business. ;)

@Julia

The decision isn't up to Zoe. It's up to whoever is making the movie(Nickelodian, was it?)'s casting people. If you want a shot at being Zoe, you have to attend an audition.

Here's how it works- people go by the masses to try out for a part. Many of them will have talent agents who inform them of these types of auditions. Some of them will have been in TV shows or commercials. Some of them might even have starred in other movies. You'll be in a room with other girls who all want to be Zoe. Depending on how friendly the otehr girls are, you may or may not strike up a conversation. You'll be called into a room, where a few people will be sitting, probably behind a table. They probably will not have you read from the script, but instead talk to you to "get to know you" a bit. See if you seem right for the role.

Now, as for your hair- appearance can be a HUGE thing in whether you get a part. One place even used to weigh and measure people looking for roles! Don't worry, most don't do that. Here's a solution for the hair issue, though- get extensions. Curly ones.
As far as being in sixth grade, NOT a big deal. The actors in Glee are in their late twenties, and they play sixteen year olds! A year or two off doesn't matter.

Now if there was an open audition near enough for you to go to, that'd be great. But there probably won't be, and the role may have already beem given out anyway. BUT don't let that discourage you. If you're really into acting and want to go pro, get an agent. They can get inside info on auditions for TV shows and commercials. They can cost a lot though, so if you want one your parents had better be as into this as you are.
And one last tip- do NOT be afraid to try theatre. Some of the most famous actors got their start in musical theatre and Shakespeare. Do you have a local theatre company? Try to get parts in local musicals like Annie, Seussical the Musical and Anne of Green Gables(my local theatre department has done them all in the past year or so).

And last of all, do NOT give up trying. Doctor Seuss's first book was rejected 72 times! And his English teacher told him he'd never be any good. Keep hoping and eventually you'll get there!
