    My daughter’a name is Jordyn. She is 5 years old and she is a naturalist when it comes to speaking. She is not bashful at all, she is very comfortable speaking to large crowds. She has a memory capacity of an adult. She is very outgoing, quick to learn and very smart for her age. I could go on and on about her skills and abilities but it wouldn’t do her any justice. If given the opportunity I’m sure she would leave a very lasting impression.

  10. Gaybrielle Lee-Ann Dixon

    Hi! My name is Gaybrielle Dixon but most call me Gabby. I just want to start off by saying that its a great opportunity in itself just to know that someone may read this and possibly be interested in getting in contact with me. I’m 17 years old and have been acting all my life. Mainly in church, school, and around the community. I have been speaking since i was 4. I also play the piano, dance and sing. These activities I’ve done since the age of 4 also. My dream was to get discovered at the age of 16, but to be completely honest, I know my talent is good, I just did’nt push myself as hard as I knew I could to make it. Now, just different things that go on in my life and different circumstances cause me to want it even more. All I can say now is that I hope and pray that someone sees me and is so satisfied that they’ll give me a chance. Thanks for the opportunity to just be able to express a little of who I am to you 🙂

I love be myself acting silly and having fun. I love pretending to be anything thin I want because you can make all dreams come true. When you’re in character you can live as whoever you want, and to personalize that is such a joy to have when you can make some make believe feel so alive, and that what I love about acting honestly and truly and now I’m looking for my time to shine. I been in many plays and I feel that its time to broadcast my talents to the world and to do that I need you the network of the whole operation.

  20. Starlyne ADA

    Hi Tyler
    My name is Starlyne Ada and I am an African actress who lives in Paris
    I write you today to tell you how proud I am of your and most of all that you are my role model.
    Indeed thanks to your videos and your movies I have decided to change my destiny and try to fulfill my dream of being an actress even though I did not have any friend or family in the industry to help me. All I have is God and my determination.
    Since I was young I was doing a lot of things and as an African girl being an actress was not an option, I was the only one who knew that my first name (Star lyne) was not for nothing, I knew I had bigger thing to do with my life but all of this was a fantasy for me so I did a bachelor degree in marketing until I read about your story and suddenly all my questions were answered and I knew what to do to pursued my dream.

    So I moved to Paris and Start to take workshop class in theatre and comedy.
    But I realize that here in France it very hard to be known as an black actress because they are always looking for the blond or the brunette I don’t know why because when I see them sometimes I keep saying to myself “ Damn I can do so much better, just give me my chance for god sake” anyway…

    But I am very happy to share with you that I have got a role. Yes you heard me right my man; I got my first role as an actress in a French movie it’s not a big one but I am so happy and I also just did a cover for an African Magazine.

    Tyler, you and your vision changed my life, you are an example for me and I want to be an example as well for the people in my country in order to show them that with Faith anything is possible.

    I don’t know if you are going to read this email or answer but I wish to meet you one day and why not even work with you… we never know.
    Please fin below my facebook page : Starlyne ADA officiel
    Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

    Starlyne.

    I have dreamed of becoming an actress/model since I was in middle school. I am now 21 years old. I have went to a few agencys a few auditions tryi to get started. Coming in with no experience doesn’t exactly make me the number one pick. I have a dream and a passion to do this type of work. I am a happy go lucky person. My personality is so warm and it makes others smile and feel loved. All I do is help others. That’s what makes me happy and whole. I have been through some trials and tribulations in my life, as well as others. The things I have experienced I feel that nobody should ever have to feel experience that. I have a story that needs to be shared & I feel that my story could just possible save other young woman like myself. I have been told no before but the fight I have and the passion I have will not let me give up. Neither will the love I have for my daughter let me give up on my dreams in life and the dreams I have for my child. All I ask for is a chance and I can show you that I mean business and I’m ready to work hard as it takes to make my dreams come true. As well as save the lives of other young woman with my story.

    Hello my name is Angel M. Wright and I am from Detroit, Michigan. I have always wanted to be a part of the acting and modeling world. But, its hard coming from Detroit. I am very talented and hard working. I think if giving a chance I could show my talent. There’s plenty of talent in Detroit we just need a chance. I say we because I feel I am not the only talent here. But, I would like my talent shown. If considered I would not be a let down. Consider having a sit down with me. I just might bring the drama your looking for.

  32. Tomi LaMar

    To answer the question about why I would want to be a part of this ground breaking…trend-setting drama series, ‘The Have and the Have Nots’ is simple. Two great powerhouses in television history have come together to create the next level of industry mastery. Ms. Winfrey and Mr. Perry have dedicated their lives to pushing the envelope to share a broader view of African-American history and the overall experience. Together, they’ve brought a community of viewers to the theatres. For those magical moments, we become color-blind. After 20 years of being a veteran of the stage and television, its a beautiful thing to see multiple diverse roles open for black performers. Ms. Winfrey and Mr. Perry carry the mantel for transformation in industry and in their humanitarian efforts. Yes, I want to be a part of that change

  33. Aundra' M. Segrest

    Hello Mr. Tyler Perry;
    Several months ago I was in a live play called “One man’s loss is another man’s treasure”. I played the role of an abusive husband. My character was a brilliant business man, with an Ivy League education who dressed and act the part. I was viewed by many as a respectable husband, but totally different at home with the wife. My current profession is a Memphis Police Lieutenant with over 20 years of law enforcement experience. It has always been my passionate to do acting and film. I feel as though I can portray any character making him come a live, audiences may laugh, cry, feel remorseful or show appreciation for such powerful enthusiasm and professionalism brought to the screen. Sir, I sincerely appreciate your work and the opportunity, of which you have allowed.
    Thanks, Happy Holidays!!!
    Mr. Aundra’ M. Segrest

  34. Nicole James

    Fear, rejection and insecurity has haunted me for many years but I refused to let them rule over me forever. I’m a young wife to the man God chose for me and stepmom to a 19 year old girl and 17 year old boy. I’m a loving wife, mom and successful business professional. Although I have no formal training in acting, I’m confident that there is something there. I’m just looking for a chance. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

    I’m 62 years old, 4 children 11 grandchildren, and to paraphrase Sophia Tucker: I’ve had and I’ve had not, and I like having better. I really don’t expect to get a part but as I tell the grandchildren, nothing beats a failure but a try.

  39. Katherine L. Delva

    I will first start by saying that I enjoy watching all of Tyler Perry’s pictures, I love that he has so many different depths and hues in his films, he’s supper funny, dramatic, artistic, heartfelt, and most of all there is always an important message and an important lesson to be learned through every piece of his work, I have experienced many of the situations that Mr.Perry portrays in his movies, from being in an abusive relationship,to being a young single mother to even a heart breaking illness in the family, however I had a grandmother something like Madea, only without the gun ha ha, she always told me how it is, gave me words of wisdom, and never ever let me feel sorry for myself or my situation, instead she taught me to persevere and overcome all obstacles standing in my way. I would love the chance to bring my real life experiences to the silver screen or even the big screen, a chance to be apart of something with meaning and to be positive encouragement to one’s searching for true inspiration and of course some laughter in their lives. I act, sing, write,etc. and would be a great addition to your cast, they are so down to earth, God fearing, and family oriented and so am I. I am very versatile and can play almost any role I am given, I put my heart and soul in everything I do. I am African American ‘5 ft 8 inches tall, 139 lbs., curvy, milk chocolate complexion, dark brown eyes, long black hair, and super cute with the personality to match, I can be funny, charming, serious, dramatic, reserved, nerdy, sexy etc. and I would love it if I am chosen to audition for the television show. Thank you very kindly, and God bless 🙂

  46. Janeva Pettway

    Hi,

    My name is Janeva Pettway, and the only thing i am passionate about is acting. I am 23 years old and my entire 23 years of living I have always done what is expected of me, be respectful and go to college. I am tired of living the dream everyone wants me to live (get a job, get married, have children) and its shameful i have no support system, I have done many acting classes and a one man show. I live acting and i will never stop. Everyone needs someone to provide them that big break so they can show the world how talented they are. I come not seeking the struggles of the industry yet the empowerment of anyone trying their very best and gain sucess. I admire Tyler Perry Very much I know many people didnt believe in his talents and many doors were shut however he never gave up continued his passions and is a huge sucess. I would be more then honored to be apart of anything he creates because i know it will be amazing. even if i am not choosen i am just grateful to be able to get my feelings off my chest. hopefully my message will also inspire a young person to never give up and that to me in itself is sucess. I want to be a rolemodel for young females and show them that even if your family and friends dont believe in you it is important to believe in yourself, and i know i will be great!

    To be in a production like this would be the upmost exciting and most amazing thing for me. I have a love and passion for acting. I do a lot of small film work here in my home town, and I love every minute of it. Being able to be around a cast of very experienced actors/actresses is something that excites me! Getting to watch and learn even more from them. Getting to be apart of this production would be a dream. I love acting wether one or one million people see my performance. Getting to step out of my persona and become a completely different person and learn that person and become that person for a brief time is why I love acting so much. You can become and be anything. Acting is the most beautiful art. I always give my all on every production I do, no mater how big or small. Acting is my passion it’s my art, and being able to take it to the next level would be incredible. Thank you for the opportunity!

    It would be such an honor to work with two of the most wonderful inspirational people in the entertainment world. I absolutely love Tyler Perry’s work and there are no words that can desrcibe how much I admire Oprah Winfrey. I have wanted to meet Oprah since the Color Purple and I wanted to work with Tyler Perry since I saw my first Madea play live. PLEASE give me a chance. I may be 30 with no acting experience but I have alot of life experiences and I think that would help a great deal.

  56. Jermaine

    I’ve always had a passion for acting & still do. I want to do it all for my family to move them to a safe environment. I’m 17 yrs. old and a african american , then it was hard to find out which way to go, especially when someone is telling you that’s not gonna happen for you. I’m not giving up though. I have such a passion for it if I see something that fits someone I know or don’t know personally I will submit them the information. I would love to be on any of the Tyler Perry shows/movie. I have done some acting in my church and I praise dance and much more I am very inspiring I want to see my mother happpy and im tired of seeing her crying I had sort of a messed up life and I am trying to fix it by helping my family out first I stay wishing but nothing never comes true my family is ripping apart and even better this will keep my mind in the most happy place I have been waiting for this chance.
    God bless

    I graduated from an acting school and did several assignments through my agent. I am comfortable in front of a camera with a lot of experience, and there is not a role that I can’t play. It has been difficult for me to be in the right place at the right time and hopefully I can get an audition and this will open doors for me.

  64. Harrykah Hill

    Hey, My name is Harrykah Hill and Iam 19 years old ,Im from Gainesville, Florida. I would love to be apart of the new television show “the have and have not’s” because oprah winfrey and tyler perry are two very influential people to me, but the reason being is that I love acting I’ve been apart of many school plays, it started when I was in 2nd where I would be the star of the play majority of the time. My big role I loved and what made me a big star in school was my 5th grade play of being a witch, which I replaced some one because they were not well as I was so that experience boosted my confidence to continue in high school I audition in high school and made the behind the scene decorator, which I didn’t like but I was still reaching my goal of becoming an actor I had an opportunity to go in Jacksonville to act but my mom wouldn’t allow me because she was worried that I would’ve put my all into something and it would’ve gotten me where I wanted to go, she was very concerned. but I am still trying to reach my goal of being an actress in life and I believe that one day I will be ,so I am not going to give up I am going to continue to apply my self because I believe that we all have the same opportunity but it is up to me to apply myself. I love scripted play because it gives you a chance to be someone who you are not in reality but it may have some similarities on who you are, but I enjoy putting my self in different shoes of a character. Thank you so much Tyler and Oprah for this opportunity I hope you review my response have a nice day. GOD BLESS YOU

  65. kristyn

  66. Jessica Reece

    As soon as I read this audition I was very interested. Oprah and Tyler Perry both are my role models. They are not afraid to go there with their emotions and step into that side that most actors cant step into. I would love for a chance to showcase my acting abilities to land a prominent role in this show thats going to be a smash. I just a young actress using my talent to make something out of nothing the right way with God and prayer. Thank you for your time. I will be sending an email to the site with pictures

  67. arianah parry

  68. Angela Richards

    Dear Oprah/Tyler I am a Black British female who is looking to further my career and broaden my horizons. I am 40 years old (even though I look a lot younger) I am married with no children. I feel this opportunity has come at just the right time as I am able to give 100% of myself to this role. I am (as well as my family) are big fans of Oprah and Tyler from as dat back as I can remember. The book shelf at my mum and dads has very single Oprah show going as far back as ever..!!! As for Tyler’s movies.. They are absolutely fantastic and I salute you both for your hardwork and work ethic. I would love to contribute and be apart of your next venture. This would be a dream come true and something to focus on. I hope to hear from you soon.

  69. Christopher Wells

    Good day and God bless you Ms. Oprah Winfrey, and Mr. Tyler Perry. I am an aspiring college undergraduate at Old Dominion University and plan to graduate with my Bachelor’s of Arts in Philosophy with a minor in Communication May 2014. I am also aspiring to be a television actor, movie actor, and also a model. I have been a fan of Tyler Perry productions for as long as I can remember. I am also a HUGE fan of Oprah. I must admit, I was quite saddened when I realized her show would no longer come on, but excitement shot through my body when I found out that she would have her own network! One day I will be able to afford digital cable in my room so that I cannot miss any interesting show aired on the OWN network. (Since the network does not show on regular basic cable where I live :/) (Hey, it’s definitely an expense to strive for :D).

    Anywho, I believe that I should be and will be a great candidate for a role in the Have’s and Have Nots. I was always told as a child that I should pursue acting. I would always walk around the house talking in different voices and impersonating whoever I felt like impersonating. I was fortunate enough to have lead roles in two plays during High School as well. One was Kiss Me Kate, and the other was Family 2.0. Unfortunately my dreams to be an actor came to a sudden hault when I entered college because I needed to focus on getting good grades, and also working so that my tuition could be paid. While in college I learned many things about myself. I learned that I put my HEART and SOUL into anything that I am passionate about. I am passionate about life, working out, praising God, and living..so I pretty much put my heart and soul into everything that I do. (Except for cleaning up my dog’s poop when I walk her… I mean who enjoys doing that?) I also learned that I WILL NOT settle for failure. I will keep trying and trying until I achieve success and greatness in anything that I do.

    I believe that I have a very strong work ethic, and to me it is a strong work ethic that separates a regular worker, from a hard worker. Ms. Oprah Winfrey and Mr. Tyler Perry are obviously two of the most hard working African-Americans in this world so I am sure that they both could relate and agree that a strong work ethic is quite important.

    If selected to have a role in the Haves and Have Nots, I will first thank God because nothing is impossible without him. I will then promise to give my HEART and SOUL and utmost effort into any role that I am given. Even if that role is for only 3 seconds. I will be the best 3 second role player ever! That is a guarantee! It has been a dream of mine to be on television and or movies and I promise that I will not leave anyone disappointed.

    I am willing to analyze the gestures, attitudes, and moods for any role that I am given to ensure that it is acted out correctly. I can confidently say that I can make myself angry, excited, ecstatic, depressed, apprehensive, and on the verge of tears within minutes! I believe that this is a gift God has blessed me with and it would be such a privilege to display my talents for you all and the world.

    God bless you all, and I pray that I have this opportunity.

    Sincerely,
    Christopher Wells

  73. Lakeea Randall

    Hello,

    I am a 25 year old African American single mother in the United States Army. I have always wanted to be an actress but once I got pregnant I stayed in the military to provide for my son. I really want to follow my dreams of being an actress and I’ve always wanted to be in a Tyler Perry film. I get out of the military next year and I am trying to get out there and make my dream happen. I have no experience in acting but I am willing and ready to learn any and everything. I can also hold a tune with my voice. I am not the best singer but I do believe I have talent. If you please contact me as soon as you can. My friends informed me of a casting call that you’re having in Virginia. I will be looking more into it because I live in Virginia.

  74. Nicole Lewis

    Hello Mr. Perry and Ms. Winfrey,
    My name is Nicole Lewis and I currently live in Sacramento, Ca. I’m a proud mother of a lovely 13 year old daughter and I have been happily married now for four years. I’m currently a journalism student in college and it has been a long desired dream of mine to become an actress/comedian. I have the drive and the determination to pursue my dream until I achieve it. I would love the opportunity to audition for any role that you might be casting for Mr. Perry and Ms.Winfrey. Although I have not attended acting school, I’m the most motivated novice that you will ever meet. It doesn’t matter where the auditions will be held, count me in and I will be there. I look forward to hearing from you both real soon.

    Sincerely,
    Nicole Lewis

  75. Trinity Brown

    Hi my name is Trinity Brown as long as I can remember I have had the desire to become an actor/ model. I am determined and committed despite the negative feedback and scams that I and so many other aspiring models/actors go through to follow their dreams. With that being stated I have followed Tyler and Oprah and listened to the adversity they have faced and it has not stopped Them. Since then he has continued on to much more from stage plays, movies, to television drama episodes, and teaming up with the world’s most inspirational woman who owns her own television network OWN is even more aspiring. Also I am totally in love with the fact that Mr. Perry and Mrs. Winfrey allows undiscovered actors to have an opportunity to showcase their talent. Despite the humor within his work there is always a message that they present within all of their story lines; which allows them to connect with everyone on a personal level. Due to the messages throughout the context of the story it draws me to not only just act, but to be apart of the message they are spreading.
    Thank you.
