  Senay,

  I’m not sure exactly what you mean… we don’t offer a casting course. If you’re looking for Nancy Bishop’s course, you can check her website (www.nancybishopcasting.com) and she has a list of when and where she’ll be doing her course.

  Sincerely,

  brian caspe

  Hi,
  I am moving to Prague in January and I am very keen to be involved in any upcoming projects you have. I have a degree in creative writing and drama, and have recently had one of my plays performed at a local theatre to raise money for charity. I would be interested in any opportunities you have both for writing and acting. Hoping to hear from you soon, Emma Hewitt

  My name is Jihad Abdo. I am a successful Syrian actor, and I have performed in several Syrian shows.

  Recently, I performed in the multinational film “Valley of the wolves” (2006 ) with my friend Gassan Massoud who played Saladin in the movie Kingdom of Haven. and Billy zein and other American actors.

  Though I am enjoying pleasant success in the middle east, I am hoping to continue acting in other films, or TV. Shows like this all over the world.

  I have heard about you, and about your great business, and I believe I have certain skills and experiences that you would be interested in.

  Please contact me, or let me know if there is something you can help me with. I will put the link to my website.

  Thank you

  Hello everone, this summer I’m finishing my thesis short movie (directing, filmschool in the USA), shooting will be in Prague (I’m born Czech). The movie will come in the theatre in September (filmfestival in Michigan). I’m looking for english speaking actors (british akcent ok) for “voice over” in Prague. lucie.g@comcast.net

  To Lucie,

  I was reading your comment you posted in April right above mine. I’m new to this site, this is my first time. I came looking for information on acting, and then I noticed that you said something about Michigan? I live in Michigan, and I was wondering if you could give me more information on that. Also, I do not have a British accent, but I can do one. Oh, almost, forgot, I’m almost 14, I haven’t really had any acting experience other than school plays, but I still would love to know more about this. If you could email me anything you know, that would be really helpful. My email address is sereneserenity37@aim.com(yes aim.com, sorry my yahoo one isn’t working) I’m also female :] Thanks a bunch! -Serenity

  Hi. My name is James Bridekirk. I am an Actor/Presenter. It is a posability that I may move to Prague as my partner is Czech. I have had a pretty good career acting and presenting in both the UK and Australia. I love my partner but have concerns about having to give up my career in Prague. My main questions are 1) Are there agents for English speaking performers in Prague for both Theatre and TV/Film. 2) Is there any expat tv programs run by either Czech or expat companies.

  I suppose what I’m saying is, do you think english speaking actors/presentors can have a career and earn a living in Prague. I hope your answer is yes as I am looking forward to making Prague my new home.

  Hi James,

  Thanks for your comment. The short answer is: it depends. I have been living off of what I make doing TV commercials and Films for the past 6 years. It is currently VERY slow as the Czech currency is ultra high and there are no tax incentives to encourage foreign production to come into the country.

  There are a few (maybe 20 or so) native English speaking actors who live mostly from what they make from acting. Others teach English or have other arrangements to make ends meet. It certainly is harder to make a living now than it was even a year ago.

  There are agents who work with English speakers. The Czech republic doesn’t really have “conflict of interest” rules which means that most of the agents cast projects and most of the casting directors represent the actors they cast in things. It’s a little bit confusing and very unethical (or at least it has a high potential for unethical behavior). They will take on new actors but most of the auditions here are cattle calls (based on type but no one really gate-keeps).

  There are very few calls for foreigners for Czech TV shows and most of those require working knowledge of Czech. I haven’t gotten into Czech Theater (I run the Prague Playhouse where we’re getting into producing theater in English on a community/not for profit scale) but it doesn’t pay very much.

  So. Should you come? I don’t know. There are benefits to living here but I can’t wholeheartedly say that you’re guaranteed to get work…A good idea might be to come for a month or so and check it out. There’s no harm in that….

  Hope that somewhat gives you a better idea of what it’s like
