    Hello, My name is Cheree and I am a 26 years old single African American woman who is seeking a career in a African American television show as an actress or model. Tyler Perry productions by far has the most motivating and inspiring episodes/movies starring people in my heritage. It makes me proud to see that we too can make difference. The world today can change for the good if there’s more inspiration on T.V. We learn so much on T.V. It’s also great to see and hear about real life case scenarios to see how others view the ending. I would love to be a part of one of the upcoming films.

    I have a life testimony to share. After doing a prison bid for 6 years and just recently released this year (May), I have even encountered struggles on my journey. Faced with these obstacles I still have to obtain the level of forgiveness bestowed by God’s grace and favor. This opportunity to commit to a production orchestrated in the hierarchy of biblical principles will not only enlighten my soul but will embrace the future testaments of my life.

  15. Aisha Sanford

    Love Thy Neighbor is a show i have been born to play. I should be considered for show. I have talent, brains and beauty.

  16. Jo Ann Carty

    I have just attended Tasha Smith Audition Workshop in Atlanta, Georgia on October 5th and 6th. It was very informative. I learned a screen test with another individual and Tasha was very pleased with our presentation. We were believable. The title of the screen test was Silkwood. I played Dolly.

    It has always been a dream of mine to pursue acting. God has allowed me to pursue my dream at this time in my life. If Sara could have a baby at the age of 90, I can pursue an acting career at my age. I left my headshot with Tasha Smith.

    I was a voice major at Music and Art High School in New York City where I grew up. I have been in several plays and have been told I was believable. I had to cry and one of my friends told me I was so believable that she was feeling sorry for me.

    I really would love to have the opportunity to display my talent. Thank you for your time and consideration.

  17. Emmanuel Merone

    Hello, My name is Emmanuel Merone. I am 19 years old, an upcoming model and actor. The reason why I took interest in this field is because I was once told especially being young with a world so full of opportunities that I must not limit myself. I was also told by many I have what it takes to enter and be successful in this field. So, after research and practice I know I have what it takes! With God on my side and Jesus in my heart, the Holy Spirit will guide me through. I took this all into consideration and prayed to God about it, started going to work and He has not failed me. I have my mother, who is a Haitian immigrant that works so hard to try to give me a better life then she had, So I want to make her proud while always being able to provide for her. Knowing that Mr. Perry has an amazing talent to act, produce, write and direct, people don’t always see that his biggest talent is bringing the star out of everyone around him actors such as Lance Gross who is now in movies and television. I believe the opportunity to work with such a talented man would be more than an honor but an opportunity to continue to strive, achieve and conquer what the world has to offer.

  31. Alisha Woodward

    As a little girl I had a vision of what I wanted to be and that was an actress/singer. I didn’t have help or the opportunity to get enrolled in theater or acting period. I told my dad that it wanted to be an entertainer and I still do. I believe I was gifted to be a talented human being with drive and the ability to play any role that is thrown at me. I love and live off of the entertainment history. I promise that if an offer was given to me to audition I will nail it. I hope and pray that Tyler Perry will consider me to play a role in this upcoming television show. Thank you in advance

  41. Ralphael Lester

    I’m Ralphael Lester from Nashville, TN I’m 24 and also a Navy Veteran. My life has evolved beyond the measures of my years and I’m still growing. I’m now a student at Clark Atlanta University majoring in Mass Media Arts with a focus in film . I have met Mr. Perry as well as some of his colleagues who have been featured in his films, plays and sitcoms. I strongly feel my calling to the industry wether it’s now or later. After watching some of Mr. Perry’s work over the years I know that giving up on my aspirations is never an option. The one message I get after watching his films, plays and or sitcoms is “I Don’t Look Like What I’ve Been Through” and with that message alone I know I would be a great valued asset to some of his future work. I’m a man of integrity, dedication, motivation, and one who can take direction working under anyone appointed over me to keep the reproduction of the success of the Mr.Tyler Perry’s Brand

  42. Mary Johnson

I too have these same similarities and have moved to LA with hopes that my talent will also help establish me, my daughter, and my wife along with the rest of my family . I look forward to establishing a relationship with yourself and Tyler Perry studios and appreciate
    any assistance you can provide. Please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

  44. Caroline Njuguna

    Hello,

    Found it quite interesting that just as I was searching within for what I truly want to do in life, I came across this and felt completely inspired. I always thought that to play a role in any film would be one of those things that I could only dream of. Not to say I don’t believe that dreams do come true, sometimes, we just get older and get a little more realistic about them as we go through life. Regardless, I still never gave up and I feel as though this would be the perfect role for me because of my passion and strive for situations like these in life. I mean, I can only try to imagine, as a mom, what it would be like to go through any tragic situation involving someone so dear to me and how much of an impact it would have on me psychologically. This goes beyond my experiences as a mom but more so from whom I really am within.

    It is what I have always done, looked BEYOND myself regardless of what I am personally going through in order to help others whether or not I can relate to what they are going through. Even though this is an ‘acting’ film role, I would take it beyond that and use this platform to help those women and men personally dealing with similar situations in real life to get through it. I believe that just by acting out this role, this is something others will be able to feel within because I will be acting out on my real emotions, my real experiences, my real beliefs. This is why I specifically searched for Tyler Perry, because he goes beyond his what he is called to do and uses his talent to literally help others and make them feel as though they are not alone.

    If called for this role I will bring myself to the table and bring only what comes from within because I know my inner me is enough to bring forth what is expected from me and more.

  45. michelle warburton

    I believe I was led to this for a reason. I have no acting experience but I have a lot to offer. I am ready for this.

  46. Cherise A Williams

    Why do I want to be chosen? It is my dream, passion, and I know you are looking for me. No one can see what I see and do what I do. I am like Noah, I keep building my Ark until you say yes. Working with you will not only make a difference in my life, but in the lives of each mentee I mentor because I enjoy reaching back helping successful youth reach their goals. However, I am ready to live my dream with humility, commitment, dedication, and spontaneity. Also, I was given double for my troubles in one weekend I was blessed with two fascinating acting teachers & coaches Tasha Smith & Rotunda Underwood TSAW_ATL2013. Furthermore, I have unique skills in writing, liturgical dance/modern, modeling, dance dramatization, and etc. I believe my gifts is making room for me.

    Warmly,

I made my classmates laugh and that was an incredible feeling! I understand that I must crawl before I can run! I have a great personality. I love to make my audiences go “Oh my god! She was awesome!” .I’m willing to learn new ideas that come my way. I hope to be working with everyone soon! Thanks for your time!

    I AM READY to work HARD and DEDICATE long hours to one of many of Mr. Tyler Perry’s great film/television creations. Mr Perry is a pillar in the community and I’m very Proud of him and all of his achievements. He is an inspiration to all and PROOF that there is a GOD. I too have stepped out on FAITH and I KNOW GOD WILL DELIVER. “HE” said it in his word. As a child I was cast in a principle role in “The Marva Collins Story.” Cicely Tyson and Morgan Freeman starred in this movie and Marsha Warfield (Night Court as “ROZ”) had the role of my mother. Since then I’ve always had the “acting bug” but did not truly pursue it until NOW due to being a single mother and not wanting my two daughters to have to live a possible unstable life. However, I have continued honing my craft by taking classes and participating in theatrical productions when my schedule permitted. I made a promise to myself that once my daughters were adults I would pursue my DREAM career which is NOW! I AM HERE, READY AND WILLING TO WORK HARD. Thanking you in advance for the opportunity.

    Acting is such a great experience, no matter what it is you’re taking part in: theater, film, etc. I’m just a beginner. I took drama for a semester before the program was cancelled and I was in the drama club for a year. I love to act, its a passion; its something i want to do. I’m aiming to have a career in it.I know this would be the perfect start and opportunity. I feel I could bring great energy and an amazing work ethic…and my excitement.

    Dear Sir or Madam:

    Wow, over 12 pages, and almost 1,000 responses! But I am the one like Neo! 🙂 I am stepping out: not only of my shell, but on the biggest leap of faith here. I am standing on the darkest “fork in the road” of my life, so I am willing to stop sitting on my God-given talents and give this a go.

    Tyler Perry’s story is no doubt a source of my inspiration to go from strife to living out my passion. I can sing, dance, and can act. I also have a great knack for fashion, interior decorating, and cosmetology. I don’t want to write a book, but I am a Jacqueline of all trades.

    I would be honored (not to mention immensely surprised) to be blessed with an opportunity whether it’s in the foreground, or in the background. No matter what the result of this response, I will still love and support the arts!

    Thank you for in advance for your time and consideration,

    Tiffany M. 🙂

    Why: I am reflective. I have a sparkle in my eyes. My creativity is unique and strong. I have weaknesses that I acknowledge. I use those weaknesses as advantages.

    Why: I have been a writer. I have been a dreamer. I don’t have any other dreams. It is all a matter of walking out what has taken so long to envision and to document.

    Why: I missed the deadlines because I was almost always ahead of time. My dignity precedes me. My discipline has been demonstrated in my resume.

    Why: I am reflective. If you see me in person, you will see a different sparkle in my eyes. You will see that although I have been worn that I am worthy of an opportunity. I don’t take chances – I don’t gamble. Risks, I do take – because winners always do sustain the risks…

    Why: I’ll either be seen – or I will be heard – or I will be read. I’d rather choose to be a starter on your team.

    That’s why: I stand out – and I will to shine a great reflection.

    Mr. Perry,

    I am unsure of why I even have the guts to write you. I have struggled with my self-esteem for years and have prayed about it often. when I was younger, I was performer through dance, and did that for fifteen years. I even auditioned for the an acting company in Philadelphia call the Rainbow company, I was 12. I had to audition by performing a monologue. I couldn’t decide on any so ended up writing my own and performing it. It was THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! I ended up getting a call back for a second audition, this time for dance. In my mind, I did not do as well as I hoped, and did not expect to get in. There were so many other great dancers there, I felt like didn’t measure up. Well I ended up getting an acceptance letter, but my insecurity got the best of me and I never went back. Ever since then, I have been struggling with my fear of becoming what I should be, an actress. I have NEVER auditioned for anything since then, and I have tried to work an ordinary 9-5 ( and I always feel off balance). I am NEVER as happy as I was that day I auditioned. It was a feeling I will never forget. I know this is my calling, but I am absolutely terrified! Fear has crippled me to the point of feeling stuck in place. I have prayed and prayed for the confidence and the opportunity to experience that feeling again. My mother keeps telling me that I will never be truly happy, unless I do God’s will. She has always believed this is God’s plan for my life, and deep down I know this is what’s right for me. I am ready to stop resisting.
    I stumbled across this site, and I cant even believe I am typing this to you! I hope this is my opportunity to get on the right track, to do what God has planned.
    Thank you for your blessing on my life

  56. Phoebe Elam

    Mr. Perry, I have always been intrigued by your work. They way you involve everyday life issues into your productions says a lot about you and the goals you want to accomplish. I have always wanted to act since I was a little girl. I just didnt have the means to do so. I put my dream on hold to serve my country in the United States Army. Now that I’m a veteran, I’m looking to accomplish my goal which is becoming actress. Acting is my calling, I hope that one day GOD will give me the opportunity to do what I love and that is being dramatic on and off screen. The GOD that I serve is a mighty GOD, and I cannot wait until he gives me the opportuntiy. I’m a hard worker, very discipline, and will stop at nothing to achieve my goals. I just don’t know where to begin. If I’m awarded with the chance to be apart of your spiritual community of great actors and actresses I will not let you down Mr. Perry.

    Thanks for your time.
    Sincerly
    Phoebe Elam

  60. Roshini

    … I once told a close friend ( gosh it has been many, many years now…) that, “ you must step on all the stones in order to find the one that will lead you onto the right path to your own success & not to be afraid to do so… .” And that she did!
    Today, after looking at Oprah’s OWN life story, I realised that I should do the same…

    Guyanese & proud to be me,

    My name is Tyrra B. and i would love to share this experience with Oprah and Tyler Perry in this up coming show “LoveThy Neighbor”. It’s time for my acting career to branch off into a new direction. I always wanted to act and many people say I have the ability to act (its in me). I’ll just continue to pray and work on my career. Please consider me for a cast member and my career launch.

  65. Ashley Dudley

    I’m all for it!! Had an interest in working Tyler for years now. I’ve worked with people such as Canton Jones and have mentored by others working behind the scenes in the music industry. But acting is something I love to do. Its an everything for me. Info? I’m 5’7, African American and Indian, I’m plus size 🙂 and 16 years old. Currently a junior in high school. Grades are fine with exception of math… the struggle is real. Basic math is no problem but the extra stuff is pretty difficult
    Anyway, I’m defiantly interested in a role. I’m a fast learner and memorize thing such as scripts rather quickly. Please contacted via E-mail

  67. Darrell Richardso

    I have been a big fan of you Tyler Perry since your first play and since I first heard your story before you became an actor. I was very impressed with your drive and your courage to start from nothing to becoming one of the biggest faces on the big screen as well as television. I have always been an entertainer from age 15 to now at age 32. I would love to become part of your team and I believe I can be a big asset. I can play a magnitude of roles if allowed the opportunity, I am easy to work with and would love to be coached to becoming the best actor I can be. I also like to be pushed to the limit of my expectations and acting has been the biggest dream I’ve had for a very long time. Please consider me in your next play, movie, or sitcom and I promise not to let you down.

    Thank You,
    Darrell Richards

  68. joshua Douglas

    Mr. tyler Perry my name is Joshua Douglas. I am a hard worker again, I am a hard worker. I work my hardest until I dont have energy anymore. I was in a HBO movie call the Quarry as an extra experienced a lot behind movie set i saw how actors and actresses work hard that motivated me. It made me say I can do this I can act if I put my mind to it and just play the character and not me and be the other person; Be that peson for this role be that person for that role. the idea is to play the role of the character and not me ‘can you fulfill this job description for this charater role’ ?, take myself out and be that person for that role so when I audition for that role Im not me anymore. I just Play the character , and get so in deep with character motives /actions. Is like having a new body, when playing a role of another person life, putting all your energy to fulfill the this character life. so I be great for the acting path that I want to take on, all I need is a chance. the only thing holding me back I can’t say my self?. I got the faith, I got the belief, I got the drive the sky is limit give me shot it will only take a minute what more can I say, Im praying that you accept me but if not my time. I am going keep working hard until I get there and when get there I dont stop i work extra harder and i dont take it for granted I come from a working hard family.

He has empowered (God) me with a purpose driven life to never give up and to always seek his wisdom, knowledge and understanding as to how to do my work more effectively, professionally, and accurately.
