    Heeeyyy Mr. TP!!!

    My name is Tawanna. I am 38yrs old but look like I’m in my twenties!!! I have no formal experience in acting but believe it or not it’s in my blood. I have been wanting to become an actress for many years but never pursued it because of fear. We’ll, I’ve decided that I’m no longer going to allow fear to hold me back but step out on faith instead. You seem to always give new actors/actresses a chance. If you take a chance on me I GUARANTEE, you won’t be disappointed.

    Hello my name is Anthony Johnson I’m a 28 year old black male from Houston Tx currently serving in the United States Navy. I always wanted to pursue an acting carter but don’t know where to start. I love Tyler Perry movies he is a genius and an inspiring person and I’d love to start off with no one other then Mr. Tyler Perry. I believe I have what it takes to be an upcoming dominat African American actor which I believe Hollywood needs more faces of just origin. I’m 5’11 210lbs athletic body type very in shape I work out a lot and live in the gym I’ve also thought about trying to model as well. Evenhough I have no experience in acting I have been told I should look into because of how crazy and goofy I act around the house and can be serious within seconds. I was also told to look into modeling as well. It would be an honor to work with Mr. Tyler Perry to get a jump start on an adventurous career. I hope to hear back from Tyler Perry Productions.

    God has put so much in me at a young age (22) I love to singing, dancing, acting, and making people laugh! Most of all I love helping people, giving them words of wisdom and giving back. In a big group of people if only one person is touched by what I say or do Im very happy. I like doing what I do because it helps people not only spiritual but naturally also.

I am 23 years old and I love to act and sing. I love making people laugh! I am a Christian and I am not afraid to proclaim my first love which is Jesus Christ! My heart for acting and singing started with Tyler Perry. I remember after watching his plays as a child I would turn off the television and turn on all the lights in the living room, turn on my head phones, act and then sing a song on the middle of my acting. I believe I should be chosen to be apart of the cast because I am people friendly and acting and singing is a gift that God gave me. I believe this is mine!!! I claim it right now!! Thank you Oprah and Mr. Perry for this chance of a lifetime!! I’ll be waiting on my email!! God bless you and I love you with the Love of God!

  15. LaKoya Shaneen Hampton

    Hello,
    My name is LaKoya Hampton and I am 18 years old. It would mean the world to me to be a part of this amazing production. There are not many roles available for lesbian African American females, and maybe I am testing my luck because Tyler Perry’s productions are religious and most people think that being gay is a sin. There was always something about his plays and movies that inspired me as a kid to chase my dreams, he made me feel like anything is possible. Growing up I had a very unfortunate childhood and I always escaped to my natural talent of acting as an outlet. It gave me hope when I had nothing else to look forward to, and when I pray to God and ask him to lead me on the path he has laid out for me my passion for acting grows even more. Even if I am not considered for a part in this production I will keep on chasing this dream until the day I die because I know it is meant for me. You should consider me for this part because I know what hard work is. I had to grow up fast and play many roles a child shouldn’t have to play like a mother to my siblings. I have been to many places and seen many characters which has made me versatile. I am a team player and committed to doing whatever it takes until the outcome is near perfect. I have participated in many on stage productions and have taken some theatre classes in college. I am willing to play any role acting is my life. My prayers will truly be answered if I get this opportunity.

  17. Conoshia Danielle

    I should be considered simply because I’m good at what I do and I’m only going to get better with the structure, guidance, direction, and expertise I’m sure Mr. Perry brings. I can elaborate on how good I am, but just as faith without action is nothing, so is my talent. I’m willing and ready to show my capabilities. All I need is to be given a chance, and it’s to the sky from there!

    Blessings, Conoshia

  18. Jeffrey Thomas

    Being an actor or actress is a true gift, a talent. It something that should come as natural as possible so that the character being portrayed through the lens can directly associate with the person viewing. I feel that I have the talents and qualifications necessary to be a successful member of the cast of your sitcom. Conveying emotions through acting is an area I’m very interested in and I am currently pursuing this passion through being a EXTRA of “The James Brown Movie, GET ON UP” . Many on the set have said I am a “natural” and have potential to go far in this business. I am a people person. I love to be around people and people love to be around me. Some have told me my personality is magnetic and that they are drawn to my genuineness. Smiling is contagious and I smile a lot. A smile is something everyone likes and I share plenty with everyone. With me what you see is what you get. I’m the real deal. I’m flexible and work well with others.

  19. Kim Miller

    Hello Mr. Perry,
    My name is Kimberly Miller and I’ve currently relocated to San Diego, California from Pennsylvania. I have been acting and singing all of my life and have been instrumental in supporting the youth of my community and my own children in the arts. However, it has always been my dream to have this opportunity to audition for a role in a weekly television project and to be able to audition for Love Thy Neighbor would be an opportunity of a lifetime. I’m currently an elementary school teacher with a degree in Elementary Education and in July 2014 I will finish my master’s degree in Supervisory and Leadership along with two additional specializations in Early Childhood Education and K-12 General Studies; so I’m no stranger to hard work and dedication. Again I’m extremely excited for this experience and believe that if given the opportunity I would be an asset to your team of actors. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you and your team.

  21. Nick Anderson

    What do you get when you cross the smooth sound of Sam Cooke, the soulful stir of Teddy Pendergrass and the heart of a lion? Put him on a stage with a microphone and you will have Nick Anderson, live and in person!

    Born from humble beginnings in a small Louisiana farm town, Nick emerged from the dirt with God given talents that he used to create a memorable sound through his heartfelt songwriting and passionate singing.
    Whether it’s being a vocal coach in his community, performing in venues from Alabama to Florida or ghostwriting for various artists, Nick Anderson is spreading his love for “soulful singing” to the masses.

    His love for music was discovered at the early age of 7 when he was taught to master his young voice by one of his sisters but his hobby became his craft as he attended a performing arts high school in Atlanta, Georgia.

    Now, with ten years under his belt, Nick Anderson has arrived to leave his unforgettable impression in this world…with a song.

    I always thought acting would be a personal challenge to become a character described on paper. I am retired, looking for work and also own a seasonal business. What I could bring is a lot of personal experience, the ability to follow direction, I am a fast learner, authentic, serious but have a sense of humor.
    Everyone has to start somewhere so I thought I would throw my name in the hat and see if I got picked. I would love the opportunity to do something new and different.
    I hope you consider me at least for an interview.

    Thank you;

  30. Desiree Thomas

    Hello, I am Desiree. I’ll keep this short and sweet; I am 20 lovely/ beautiful years of age! I have always wanted to be considered for a role in a movie, show, or even a simple commercial. My whole life I have felt that I will become someone big and I feel I am at the prime age for being “discovered.” I’m smart, young, and have a passion for dancing, singing, and acting. I’m a triple threat. I’m also “African American” or as I like to say, black. Currently, I’m in my junior year of college and have had the opportunity of experiencing many different cultures and have traveled out of the country. These experiences have given me the opportunity to adapt to many different settings which I feel have shaped my acting abilities. It wouldn’t only benefit me to be considered, but also your production. Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a blessed day. Signed, your future shining star. 🙂

  31. Tamara Walcott

    I should be considered because I have a natural ability to make people laugh and impersonate others, the ability to become different people at the snap of a finger…. I have raw natural talent not to act but to become the character I’m wanting to be. My friends, family and total strangers who’ve seen me in action all say the same thing ” you need to work for Tyler Perry”…. I know I can become one of your main characters that can be marketed to jump from play to play to movie to movie , set to scene to make people think, laugh, love and fight for what ever it is they believe in. I was born and raised in the US Virgin Islands but currently reside in Bel Air Maryland. I have two beautiful kids one of which is a daughter I know will grow up to be better than me! A handsome supportive husband. I’m 30 years old this month and I know that this is my season. I’m going to work hard for you and give it all I have, I’m ready to take this workaholic personality as an Assistant Property Manger of a luxury apartment community in Towson from behind a desk, put me in front of an audience and I can guarantee you I will not let you down. It’s my time and I know I’m blessed. Please consider me, I just need 1 shot to prove my dream to you. Talk to you soon Tyler!

    Ps: although I’m from the Islands you won’t know it unless I want you too…. 🙂

  32. Patricia Faye

    I am interested in acting for your shows. I have acting and writing experience. I am a good looking 43 year old ready to take the world hy storm. I would love the opportunity to work with you. You said, don’t get mad at people, the best revenge is to prove ’em wrong.

  33. Gavin Harden

    My name is Gavin Harden and my dream is to become a great actor. I’ve wanted to be an actor since I was 7 years old. This has been a really big dream of mine. My mother, father and I have tried to make this dream happen but unfortunately every opportunity we have come across has been a scam. Years have passed since then and I am now 20 years old. I attend Hampton University as a Theatre Major and Broadcast Journalism Minor. I can say that I have received a great deal of experience over the years by attending the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta GA, The Augusta Mini Theatre, some high school plays and classes, and Hampton plays. At Hampton I have performed in several plays and I have been in two short films. I am also proud to say that I have won a HUBY (Hampton Oscar) award for “Best New Comer”. I have participated in a comedy show at Hampton and surprisingly won that as well. So I guess you can say that God has been pretty good to me over the years. I think I would be a good candidate to be a part of this show because I am dedicated and determined. Everything I do I give 100% because acting is my passion. I love the whole concept of giving life to characters and to make the audience either love you or hate you because you put so much into it. I know and believe that I can do all things through Christ as long as I keep him first in my life. If given the opportunity I will surely not disappoint.

  43. Bee

    When you hear that the two most influential personalities in Black culture and entertainment are coming together to create, you just have to try to get in wherever you can. To be a part of an Oprah Winfrey -Tyler Perry project would be amazing.

    My name is Bee, and I’m a Black girl from Brooklyn, NY. I am the proud mother of a 16 year old extremely smart, athletic, and talented son.
    Being from New York, has given me a wonderful blend and interesting balance of when art meets street life. I am a nomad of sorts and have lived in many different places. I love to travel and experience people and cultures. I am recently returning to the states after living abroad for three years.
    I use my formative dance and acting background as the my canvas for My Life. I am an advocate and lifelong student of black history and the preservation of African American culture and folk lore.
    Which is why I am enthralled and excited about anything Tyler Perry. His work fuels our souls and add to our joyous spirit. It would be an honor to be a part of a production that Tyler Perry is involved in. Please consider me for an opportunity to work with the OWN network on this upcoming project.

At first i was confused then got used to it…Now when people say i know you from somewhere, i just complete the sentence for them by saying ” ya, you know Tiger Woods” and the go ” yes o my gush…you look like young Tiger Woods”…that said I’m a big fan of Tyler Perry…and i love acting…as much as i feel my dream is far fetched,,i always leave i little room in my heart to hope….I live in Dallas, TX..which adds to my frustration because when i think of acting…i think of Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York..but how do I get there…i belief time is the answer to all questions.

    Hello! I’m a 20 year old African American female. I live In Arlington, Tx, not to far from Mrs. Tamela Mann. I have an amazing 3 year old daughter. I attend school and majoring in nursing. To be honest I have no experience In acting. I have tons of friends and they believe I’m actress material. I’m a very open, outspoken person and there’s no doubt In my mind that I can be whoever I choose to be. As I said previously I’m going to school for nursing and I’m doing really well. It’s just..I have a feeling I’m suppose to do more and be more in life. Not to say that nursing isn’t a good field because I’ve always wanted to help people, it’s just I feel as though I’m settling for something that may not be for me. I feel as though I should be much more than what I’m settling for. I come a good family and bring successful is not an option. I may not be the perfect match for any of the roles. I honestly just want to give it a try, I just want to see if I’m capable of doing something greater! Please give me a chance! I’m full of life with an awesome personality! Just trying to find my purpose in life! I think this may be it.

    Thank you:)

    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!

    Hello my name is Kay and I am a 28 year old young woman from Jamaica who currently lives here in the United States. I am seeking and opportunity to work with Mr. Tyler Perry on his new upcoming T.V. show, Love Thy Neighbor. I have a God given talent for acting and desperately hope for that dream to come true someday. Even though it has always been declared over my life that acting will never be a Career for me it’s a just fantasy world. But very similar to me Mr. Perry had a dream; a dream that was rejected, a dream that told would never be successful. Mr. Perry has always been my biggest inspiration. His work of Art had motivated me and apart from reading my Bible daily I check his Facebook for words of inspiration; Mr. Perry is the reason my dreams stay alive as I continue to dream. Despite of my struggle and pain, haven’t been for Mr. Perry Movies, Plays, and Television shows that have been of courage to me I can’t help but wonder where I would be. Regardless of being selected or not I am still thankful for Mr. Perry for giving the opportunity to local like myself who have a dream to become and actor or actress someday, I thanks for opening up door of opportunity to many like myself who have the same dream; again I thank you.

    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. I am a local model in Texas. I am pursuing my bachelor’s in Health Science Administration. I’m a hairstylist by day waitress by night. 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.
