I’m Italian but for work I’m fix in Prague for long term and I would like to join my passion on the theatre.

Thanks a lot

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

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.

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
