    Hi,
    My passion, my heart, my release…acting. It is a part of me. For 4 years now, I have found myself drawn to not only acting but writing plays for my church and acting through dance. I have been known to play almost every character. I guess the thing I love the most about acting is the fact I enjoy it so much. When you do something that you love, it becomes almost inevitable to push yourself to grow and develop new skills to succeed in what you do. I’m social, determined, and above all, I’m a Christian. I love to act and I would love an opportunity to show you that my words hold substance 🙂

    Hello

    I would like to be in Tyler Perry movie. This show is for me because I believe when you have experienced having and not having things in life, one searches the soul to overcome negative impressions, emotions and struggles, and find the humor of survival, and make it happen. I have the gift to entertain and be believable. I love telling stories in my acting that touches mind, body and soul, dramatically and humorously.

  9. Nikia

    Hi,my name is Nikia Edwards. I am 15 years old and I love acting and am trying to get my career started. I know it’s not asy breaking into the acting business as I have experienced several times, but I am hard-working and give everything I do my all. I love Tyler Perry and his movies. I think it’s really great also how he stands by his Christian faith and never loses sight of the fact that God gave it to him. If I were to be apart of any show I think this should be it. I really also love comedy and singing which are some extra perks to having me on te show. I’m really a very pliable person and will adjust quickly to what you need me to do.

  14. Rayjon Anderson

    Hello,
    My name is Rayjon and I am 31 years old. I have 3 sons. Their ages are 10 , 4. & 8 months, my pride & joy. Right now in my life, I am tired of desk jobs and not really helping people like I would want to. I would love the chance for myself or children. This is our first time looking into this, but anything is possible. When I was younger, I did things in grade school, that was just for school, but nothing outside of that. My mom had to work, so really being able to act, was not an option. There has been a bug in me to just try. And when I try, I truly give it my all. I raise my boys on trying their best. I have something to offer, I hope this is the opening door for us.

    Thank you for your time,
    Rayjon, Hasaun, Quincy & Alexander

  17. candace charles

    hey!!! my name is candace charles, I’m 22 years old from a small town in Louisiana called Baldwin. I’m highly motivated, vibrant, friendly, talkative, fun, and has a smile that brightens the entire room. I would be honored to have even the smallest role in this television production. Working under the direction and production of Mr. Tyler and Ms. Oprah is a dream come true. This opportunity would mean so much to me, and make my parents/ community very proud of me. I feel as if I deserve at least a chance to be on the show, because I can finally say I chased my dreams, worked hard, and succeed. Besides, I always knew I would be the small town girl who shines her light upon the world! Although I have little acting experience, I am willing to take any and all direction and be the best castmate I can! Mr. Tyler and Ms. Oprah are phenomenal individuals and I truly hope you find it in your hearts to cast me for whatever part you feel is best. Whether or not this opportunity works out, I’m highly thankful for your decision. Thank You and Good Luck Everyone!

  19. Dorie Clarke

    Hello, my name is Dorie I am a 42 year old married (separated) mother of seven great kids ages 11-24. I come from a musically driven family. My siblings and I sang as children in a group as well as church choirs. I have also raised my children in church where they all sing as well graduating from the children’s choir to the adult choirs after while. I am thrilled to see that both Oprah and Tyler have come together in this manner which I am sure will be a great success. Which is why I want to be a part of this success train. I am a hardworking, dedicated, fun-filled and an amazingly well rounded individual. I love to laugh and keep others laughing as well. I have always wanted to attempt such a fete as acting. (I secretly wanted to be on SNL mostly because I am silly and like cutting up of course) I am often found being comical, playing characters, imitating or just plain having a good time. In having seven children you have to learn to enjoy life and keep an open and refreshing attitude. It also appears they have picked up on those comedic traits as well. I have no former background in acting but what I do know is I am willing to work hard and prove that I am capable with some potential and/or talent to be on your show that I know will be an absolute journey that I am eager and thrilled to travel on. I am certain this will be a successful venture considering the two people behind it. I will be honored to be considered and I thank you in advance for this possible opportunity.

  20. ShirDonya Anderson

    Hello,

    I am a 25 year old female. I do not meet a stranger, because I am a pretty friendly person and enjoy meeting new people. As far as my personality goes I would prefer to let it speak for itself, than to try and convince you to believe that I am who I say I am. What’s important is that I can transition into whatever personality is needed for nearly any role you are trying to fill. I try to be open minded and as flexible as possible. However I will not represent myself as a perfect person, because I do have my flaws as we all do. I am most interested in a Mr. Tyler Perry productions, because his productions are always geared towards making a positive difference, a positive message, and bringing light to real life situations people are afraid to talk about(but need to addressed)! Most importantly GOD is ALWAYS in the mist! I would also be honored to be in association with anything that Ms. Oprah in involved in, because is has always been an idol of mines. Thanks in advance for the consideration! God bless!

    Hello,
    My name is Terrence Jones. I am a very diligent and hardworking person. I feel like I would be a great aspect to this production to do my commitment to work hard and perform every aspect of my goal to the best of my ability. It has always been my goal to become an actor. Although I have no experience in this field, I know I have what it takes to go further in this industry because what I have to offer is nothing short of excellence. I also have a passion for singing and dancing. I graduated from Yazoo City High School in the top ten percent of my class and later furthered my education at the University of Southern Mississippi majoring in Biology Pre-Med with and emphasis in Kinesiology. I do plan on continuing my education in the future, but at this point I feel like I have a great chance of being successful as a part of this extraordinary production. I now reside in Atlanta, GA. where I am currently working full time as a Denim Specialist at Dillards.

  22. Korrena

    Hello my name is Korrena Thompson and I am 16 years old. I am currently 5’7 I have black hair, brown eyes and I weigh 119 pounds and I am of African American descent. I love to act, sing, dance and play music. I currently play the baritone saxophone and the alto saxophone and I also practice vocals and piano as a hobby. I have grown up watching Tyler Perry and watching Oprah go about their lives and everything they do inspires black teenagers to keep off the streets. which is why they both are so present in my house hold I don’t want to make this too long so I’ll cut it off here thank you so much for reading this.

  23. Jacqueline Crowley

    Hello, my name is Jacque and I am 25 yrs of age. You’ve had so many to respond to this message that you may not receive this, i’m not sure. I think that it would be really awesome to be able to work with the two of you! I’ve been trying for years to make acting a career for myself but, I have a 7 yr old little boy that only I provide for and it’s a little tough. I sing, dance, and I can act as well. I went to an Arts and Science High School and I’ve been in the choir my whole life. From the school choir to the church choir, but, so far everything I’ve tried to do I get the answer no. And i’m not so sure how to get started, I guess it’s because I live in Arkansas and it’s so small.

  24. Juliana

  25. Christine

    Hi my name is Christine. I am 23 yrs old. Jamaican descent. 5’3. Approx. 185. lbs. Let me keep it simple. I love acting. I love singing. I love performing for people. So why have I waited so long to actually pursue my dreams in arts? Well, I suppose I wasn’t ready considering my college degree was top priority in my household. Why should you choose me? Choose me because I have theatrical and choral experience. I have produced and performed in numerous shows. My admiration for the arts has led me down a very promising path and so I enjoy dipping my hand in a show every chance I get. I am outgoing, I’m charismatic and I am serious about this chance to be on the big screen. A girl can only dream but, to sum it up, life is too short and I want to ACT NOW!!!

  26. Crystal Williams

  28. Teyona Roberts

    Hi! my name is Teyona Roberts. I am 15 and inspired to be an upcoming actress. I’ve been wanting to be an actress since I was younger,but people say oh, that’s impossible, or that’s way to hard to do, you can’t make it. I want to prove them wrong. Everybody who said I can’t or wont make it would and will be astonished. I’m doing great in school all A’s and B’s, and I’m willing to be home-schooled to purse my dreams. I’ve never really been able to do so though. Growing up in the lower-middle class, barely making it by some months, that’s pretty hard to do. Who says I can’t make it? I know I can, I’m going to try my hardest. Going from one agency to the other getting declined. Going from one application to the other being denied. I’m never giving up. I am waiting for that phone call, that email that says we would love to have such a pulchritudinous young lady to work with, and would love for you to join us. It’s going to be hard I know, but something I want to share for every teen,child, mother, father, grandmother, bestfried, etc. it is not IMPOSSIBLE. Thankyou for taking your time to read my comment. You can contact me at any time. Thankyou, for your precious time.

  29. Licia

    Hello! I first want to congratulate you on your success! Not everyone can prosper from what you’ve been through. And because of that, you became my inspiration.– If an actress and or model is needed then I am your girl! I am very professional, outgoing, able to work well under stress, very easy to get along with, dedicated, proactive, and able to work long hours and still maintain a positive attitude and a smile. I have a really good spirit so I love helping others and making people happy. Appreciation of my success would be to have the opportunity to give to God and to help people around the world going through hardships in life. I want people to know that my talents were gifts from God to help those less fortunate. There isn’t a better feeling knowing that success can be shared because someone cares. Two words that describes me is determined and creative.

  43. Desiderata

    First of all you will not find anyone who can outwork me. I have written lyrics to some of what are probably your favorite songs.I work early mornings and late nights. Without knowing what roles are available I can share this with you. Not only can I act but I am a trauma therapist/social worker. I write poetry and I am in love with all aspects of the human condition. I know what it is to have I know what it is to have not.

    One day I was cleaning out my car and a voice said to me leave the shoes. No matter how many times I thought to remove the shoes I succumbed to the voice. On my way to dance class I saw a woman standing in the middle of heavy traffic, homeless, and small like me. Her feet were bare and blacker than the asphalt of her aspirations. I reached in the back seat and handed her the shoes. They fit perfectly. Exhale. I get it now… The next week someone had upgraded her to some Sketchers.

    I possess impeccable dramatic delivery and sharp comedic timing. Last but not least it may not hurt to present me as a new comer who is related to a very well known rapper who is STILL hot. (Tyler and Oprah both love him.) Kind of like Olympia Dukakis . But we can get into those details when you call me in for an audition. You may also want to consider me as a writer if the script isn’t complete or for any future endeavors.

    Thanks for your time.
    Much Love

    Desiderata

    Hello All,

    life is about journeys, struggles, success, happiness, pain, all in all it’s an emotional roller coaster. I am 23 years old and have been in a four and a half year relationship with a man that is 10 years older than me. The last two years I been through so many downs. I have experienced so many different emotions. I feel broken but everyday I pray to Jesus to help change my mind set, help change the impossible while I work on the possible. I have for many years tried to be someone I’m not and will never be. I have always been told there is no such thing as perfect but I know that perfection lies in the eye of the beholder. I am ready to be the best me possible and because of my life experiences and roller coasters there are so many emotions I can act out. I can transform, cry on the drop of a dime, and show my multiple personalities if only I can get the one chance I need to improve myself. I will not disappoint you. Thank you for taking the time out to read and I look forward to hearing from you soon be blessed.

  49. Aaron Bohannon

    My name is Aaron Bohannon. I am a 25 year old man and I am the father of 6 beautiful kids that I love with all of my heart. I would love to have a chance at being involved in this project because I truly believe that acting is a gift that God gave me to share with the world. I have an amazing ability to make people laugh and have fun. I’ve known since I was 15 that I wanted to be an actor. But instead of putting my time and energy into pursuing my dreams I out all of my energy into gangs and drug dealing. My father is a pastor so I knew what I was doing was wrong but I gave into the things of the world and I allowed those things to destroy my life for 7 years. During this time I used my talent of comedy and acting in places that I should not have been. I performed in bars and dd stand up in various places. I never received any advancement doing this, I only received small amounts of cash that I quickly spent and had no recollection of where it went. God was not in it so I believe that is why my activities were never blessed. I had stopped going to church, stopped praying and most of all I had started questioning God. I neglected my responsibilities as a child of God, as a man, a father and a actor. I had lost my house, my car and my job. I was living from house to house with friends and family. God brought me to a point that I had no choice but to call on him and once again begin to trust, believe and worship him. I said all of that to say this. I now have a car, I got a job working with teens at a local high school and I have a house to call my own!!! Most importantly I am in a position where I can take care of all of my children without hesitation or struggle. All of this happen because I gave it all to God and he answered my prayers. The one prayer that I continue to pray day in and day out is that God grant me with another opportunity in the acting industry. I know that if I am given the chance I will use my talents to glorify God and not myself. I am a living testimony that GOD IS ABLE!!!! All I am asking for is a chance to show the world that God is in the blessing business and that he is able to turn your dark night into a brighter day. I would love to have a chance to work with and for Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey. Thank you in advance and God Bless You.

  51. Camille Gregg

    Hi, my name is Camille, I’m 24, 5’6 and I’m way too talented in acting, singing, dancing and writing to not share with America. I’m very determined and would love to have a real opportunity to woo someone with my talents. I feel destined for stardom and I feel the blessing coming to have my big break I just need a start. I would appreciate being apart in any way. If not considered, I would like an email letting me down and maybe some advice on where to start to get my foot in the door please because I’ve been scammed too many times. Thank you so much for even reading my comment.

  52. Adrienne Nelson

    Life are full of opportunities, but the only thing is you have to to search for them or just simply wait for them to come your way. In which, it seems that only 1 in 1,000 people will get an opportunity. Well, I’m tired of waiting and I’m tired of telling myself that I’m not capable or good enough to do anything. I keep asking myself what if—what if I am good enough to become someone. I’m very blessed that God has giving me talents to sing and act. I remember the moment when I knew that acting is what I wanted to peruse in life,but to scared to actually believe in myself that I won’t fail if I work hard enough at it. Now, I would like to just go for it and see what happens. This is what I love to do, this is who I am. I wish I would of listen to my heart years ago and follow my dreams, but no more waiting for an opportunity to come my way. I believe with my faith I can achieve anything. You may never know what you can and cannot do unless you try. I may not be at best then most who have more experience or the
    face of Vogue magazine, but, I know I can stand tall and move forward to a future that one day,
    it may turn my dreams into a reality. I am a 23 year old African American female, who just wants to experience more in life.

  56. Evangelist Roxanne Broadnax

    Hello Mr. Perry, I am very interested in becoming a part of your next movie, play, T.V. sitcom, or anything that has Tyler Perry on it, because you are one of my favorite Writers, Producers, Actors, and Singers ( on Madea gets a job, after the play singing old school. lol) I would appreciate it if you would consider giving me an opportunity to Audition for you on your next project, for i am a singer, and they say i can act as well. I’m not a famous person, I don’t have a big name, the last time i acted is when i performed for my last Gospel show with Lee Williams, and Doc Mckinzie. I’ve also have had and opportunity to sing with Dorothy Norwood, and Shirley Caesor (briefly). Crissy Collins, who performed with you in Madea goes to jail, is a good friend of mine, which her sister has song in my group with me for several Years. I’ve tried many times before now to convince myself to make a step to audition for you but i felt by me not being in alot of plays or not having a lot of experience in doing plays that you might not pick me, but i said to myself nothing beats a failure but a try. So now i am trying to make another effort this way. I would love to share the stage with someone of you Caliber. Just asking for an opportunity to try out for you. If I make it i will be so glad that i made a step, and if i don’t at least i can say i did try. Either way i will still support what ever you do in the future. God Bless and have a great day.

  61. Deondra Travis

    🙂 Im 15 5’7 im african american and indian yes my hair is long and real and ever since I was 6 I wanted to be in showbiz and im very passionate about singing also. But I live in a small town so my dreams and talent dont get much attention but both Oprah and Tyler inspire me with their shows,movies and plays and actually Tyler’s movie “Madeas Big Happy Family” It taught me to listen as a teen and treat my mother with respect. I can also relate to this show because my family is the Haves and my fathers side of the family are the Have Nots. God knows my dreams well and growing up in the church he has helped me through my bad times but I pray that my talent is recognized and that he takes me higher. I cant say ive been on many shows and movies and im known but my performance is outstanding to my family, friends and classmates. I would love a part in this show there will be alot put towards my character in this show.

  67. Angelica

    What an HONOR that you would give the public an opportunity to audition for such a transformative show! As I’m writing this email I find it hard to even put into words how amazing if chosen this would be. So I’m going to try my best…. I peruse acting full time, doing projects that i believe in. Allot of the work I’ve done has been on an independent film circuit level. This would be a dream come true, For many reasons. I believe the art of acting has been rooted in my heart for the very purpose of using it as a tool to touch this world in a positive way. Acting is so much more then acting, it can change the lives of an audience. My deepest hope is to have the opportunity to audition. I don’t know how you feel about prayer but I have prayed for an opportunity like this. I can only imagine the response you will get. I just hope that I can have the chance of a lifetime to demonstrate how I would be a good fit!! I will not DISAPPOINT if you allow me to audition,I will work not just acting but with my whole heart, mind, & spirit I will leave nothing behind. My hope is to be a part of your future series. Here’s to fate & it being preordained what ever the outcome. Thank you for having vision and an awareness to find new talent!!

    Respectfully,
    Angelica

    Similar to some response i do not have a long resume nor can i impress you from a comment, i can only hope you take a chance on me before anyone else.
    That is what life is about, its about taking chances and risk on not only projects but people,
    I cant promise an oscar performance, but i can promise you someone who will literally die for a part in this movie, i will work harder then anyone you can imagine, yourself included, all im asking for is a chance, rather an extra, or lead role, or small role,
    Just asking for a chance
    I dont have a sorrow story on why i choose be picked like some, my motivation is simply my mother and my sisters and more importantly my 2 year old son
    I have a OneSourceTalent.com account if your interested
