Tahlea TelfordGood day! My name is Tahlea Telford, and I would love to be featured in this film. I am 17 years old and 5’0 even. I am an African American. I have dark brown eyes, long jet black hair and I am petite, weighing 99.7lb.Growing up, I watched numerous Tyler Perry movies and shows. I would definitely say I had the Perry fever because it got to the point where I would NEVER allow myself to miss a line on a show that I memorized or a show on TV.I am now 17 years old and I still watch Tyler Perry’s House of Payne and Meet the Browns EVERY night from 8:00 P.M. – 9:00 P.M. I often found myself mocking the way Brianna or Miranda would say their lines or acting out two roles with totally different personalities like Tyler Perry (as himself) and Madea. I must admit, this practice has made me MUCH better in acting. Being able to take on the roles of professional actors and mimic their skill, has done miracles in my growth. It also has prepared and is preparing me for future casting calls with Tyler Perry because I know his expectations as a director and producer.My background includes ALOT of experience with acting on stages, in front of cameras as well large audiences and improvisation. I have been an aspiring actress since I could talk. I participated in my first play in Preschool where I was Mother bear. Since then, I have been apart of numerous plays. I have also done mock trials and skits. The most recent play I’ve done was a Christmas play in which I was one of the main characters. I actually recently worked with Dana Ambercrombie, who has played in Tyler Perry films. I was also granted an opportunity to work with Tyler Perry productions, a few years back, to be an extra in a school scene which they later removed from the script in the movie “The Family That Preys”.I think that I should be considered to be in this film because like many others, I have a passion and strong drive for acting. However, unlike everyone else, I believe that I have what it takes to make the viewers at home go “WOW!” and actually make this movie stand out from the rest. Movies make great impacts on peoples lives, especially when there is a character that one may truly admire. If I could make an impact on at least one persons life through this film, whether it be to follow your dreams or to simply DREAM, I would tremendously be happy. 0 Reply February 4, 2014
DeShundaHello. My name is DeShunda. I do not have anything *standoutish* to say because as I am typing, I am speaking from the heart. I just graduated and achieved my degree in applied arts. Acting, singing, and dance means everything to me. It is one thing that I dedicate my life to. I have always wanted to be in a Tyler Perry movie, stage play, or show. All I want is one chance because I know that the one chance will lead me along the way to many more to come. I am a 5’4, african american, average sized female with dreams and hopes.

Danielle MikeFear, lack of faith and a gift from God. I have lived 28 years and in every aspect of my life I was faced with triumph, hurt and disappointments. Like anyone on this site my dream is the stage, the bright lights and a passion to entertain that burns deep within. At this very moment, I am sitting at my desk with God in my ear saying, “When are you ready to follow me?” I guess it’s now. My God given talent has always been to entertain. But my fear of failure has always stopped me. I finally have given my life over to him, allowing for him to use me, guide me and direct my every step. So, could I inspire like Oprah and change the direction of televsion, movie and theatre like Tyler? My answer: God told me I’m ready….so here I stand!!! My Dreams are Big and my Faith even Bigger!!!

LashawnHello Mr Tyler Perry , First off I want to thank you for giving young people like me advice though your hilarious plays and outstanding movie you bring forth. It’s a honor to be writing you about why I think I should be a consideration of your new upcoming project. Since I was able to talk I ran my mouth my momma said I always knew how to mimic people . I have an uplifting spirit and I believe I can do anything I put my mind to it. I was raised as a Jehovah Witness so I always carried myself upright. I love people and interacting with them. I could make a frown turn upside down and I would like to share that with millions of people. I have no drama experience but I am very talented in acting I can sing and dance and give my best ! My favorite actress that you have worked with is Gaberlle Union. I love her and one day hope to meet her she’s a strong minded independent black women. She makes her work look so real and relative. And that why I want to work with you Mr.Perry and a lot others because I have message and I believe some people in the world can relate to things I’ve been though. Thank you for this opportunity for African American who want to act and produce. 0 Reply January 24, 2014
Mallery Jenna RobinsonWhy should I be considered to participate in a Tyler Perry production, because I believe in order to achieve things in your life you have to challenge yourself even when they seem most difficult. Meaning as a 22-year-old African-American transgender female it is really hard to be taken seriously in the industry. However. I Mallery Jenna Robinson am determined to bring diversity to the television and I firmly believe Tyler Perry and Tyler Perry Studios are known for being very open minded to all people. I personally feel that I will be a very valuable contribution. I could see myself on either of the sets being The Haves and the Have Nots, or ;Love Thy Neighbor. I am all about changing the face of media and love acting, and being in front of the camera, I can be funny, dramatic, and serious when it comes to playing a role. Please give me an opportunity to impress you and your staff I can assure you won’t be disappointed. 0 Reply January 24, 2014

Christy LoveDo we need to email as well? Will do. I’m going to go ahead and reply here with a little personal info like everyone else.Reason I want to be considered for the part(s)? Basically because it already sounds a little bit like my family so I think the fitting is perfect, I’m sure I can relate. I find it ironic that my last name is Love as well, it really is – Just like this family in Tyler Perry’s story. Interestingly enough, this family happens to be not a normal but hilarious family and I’m excited to hear about that. I’m guessing they are a family who has their share of issues and who also have to live up to their last name because they have the name ‘Love.’ Well, at least that’s the way I perceive it. In my fam, we were generally called “The Loves”. I have 4 other sisters, no brothers and were called the “Love girls”. To me, that was a hard thing to live up to because on top of that everyone always thought we were so sweet but at home it was sometimes a different story.I’d be interested in any auditions or casting roles made available here. I’m currently looking to build my entertainment industry resume, and am training for acting and modeling. I would like to play a part in this story if I was given the opportunity, and would do my best. Even if I were an extra I’d be happy with that. I have some acting experience, but I need to improve and positive that it can be learned. More than that, I’d love to know more about this story of the Love family, to see if they are comparable to my ‘Love family’.

Simaria WilcherDear Mr. Perry/TPSMy name is Simaria Wilcher. I am a 20 (soon to be 21 June 26) year old African American female born and raised in Mississippi. I am a junior in college majoring in Surgical Technology. I have many dreams that leads to many goals in life, and one is to follow my heart and use my talents that God have me. I’m all for my education but I feel guilty that I am not trying to put my talents to use. Also I am a type 1 diabetic, just like Halle Berry. I look up to her and constantly compare myself to her because we have so much in common, like our sickness. She is an actress and I am determined to be an outstanding actress like her as well. Because of my diabetes, I have always been told that I could not do anything in life, and majority of those nay-sayers are my own family. So far I have proved them wrong, and I am determined to keep doing just that and making myself reach each goal that I am absolutely determined to accomplish with prayer faith and trust. I pray that I get a response back for this opportunity for TPS. I would be honored and greatful.Thanks Simaria Wilcher 0 Reply January 19, 2014
Faith MillerGreetings Mr. Tyler Perry: First I would like to say it is an honor to be able to even have an opportunity to e-mail a comment to you. My name is Faith Tiyana Chelsie Miller. I am known by everyone as Tiyana. I am 17 years old and I live in Merrillville, Indiana. We are a township of Gary, Indiana. My dream is to become an aspiring actress or a fashion designer. I have had the opportunity to audition at several places such as John Roberts Power, John Casablaca, One Source Talent and others. I was selected by John Casablaca to go to IMTA (International Modeling and Talent Scout) in L.A. to meet with different Talent Scouts, unfortunately I was not able to go due to finances, but that did not stop me because I was offered to try again in the summer where it will be held in New York. I am a very hard worker and very frugile with money and savings. I would like you to consider me because I would not let you down. I can learn quickly and I am versatile. I love learning about different cultures. I’ve learned to talk as the British do, which sometimes is funny being that I am an African American. When I do the accent, someone is always asking where I’m from. I do it for fun and as a way to put myself in different state of mind.

DesmonaeTyler,I would like to be considered for this position because I am a young thriving woman trying to get my foot in the door. I am a vibrant 22 (will be 23 on February 6th) African American and Native American female with a go-getter attitude. This industry is different now I want to have roles where I can show my talent and not have to go through the back end to do it. This being said I live in the downtown atlanta area and I would love to be feature in this film. I don’t have much experience other than theatre classes in high school. But I am wiling to learn from you and soak everything up like a sponge. Failure is not an option for me so if I do not get this role I will see you in the future; thanks for your consideration and good luck on your search.Desmonae 0 Reply January 16, 2014

Austin ReedMy name is Austin Reed. I am a 19 year old African American male attending college in Miami, Florida. Through out my entire life, I have only dreamt of taking on a role in a film but have always had confidence in my acting abilities. I can guarantee that any role that would be given to me, I would nail. I am charismatic, comedic, well spoken, and athletic. Even being an extra in a film would be a great deal to me and my career. Though I have not had any actual film experience, being in this film would make my dreams come alive. I promise that if I were chosen for this film, you would not at all regret it.Height: 6’2”Eye color: BrownHair: BlackWeight: 220Body type: AthleticThank you! 0 Reply January 15, 2014
Brielle Sophia BellDear Mr. Perry and Mrs. Winfrey,My daughters name is Brielle Sophia Bell. She is ten months of age and such a little character. I, her mother am from Germany and my husband is from Texas, but we are currently stationed in North Carolina, close to Atlanta. We didn’t even consider putting Brielle in the business, but everyone kept telling us “she should be on TV”. So we gave it a try. She is represented by Maultsby Talent Agency and scored her first job in a little scene on “Sleepy Hollow”. She did awesome and had fun on set, so we decided to continue her career. Who knows, maybe it will pay for college.Brielle is African-American/Caucasian, is about 27 inches long and weighs 16lbs4oz.I would love the opportunity to send you some of her headshots.Respectfully,Karina Bell 0 Reply January 15, 2014
Rufus Carter JrHappy New Year Mr. Tyler Perry & Ms. Oprah Winfrey My reason why I may have a chance when I was called and told that I was selected to be part of the For Colored Girls movie I got my Praise on. Traveling 10 hours to Atlanta Georgia to be part of a Historical moment, it was a dream that came true. I was chosen to do the Graduation scene as the Dean you know what really made it special and put a large smile on face was when I met Mr. Tyler Perry a man who never gave up his dream. Here’s what funny about it they addicted the Deans part I was so ashamed after calling my family and friends telling them I would be in the For Colored Girls movie I got pick at and laugh at even had one of my family members tell me I seen you playing the part as Janet Jackson husband you were in the car all I could do was Lol. I never gave up I had the chance to be in Meet The Browns now once again I wait for that phone call to say congratulation Mr. Rufus Carter you are the winner. 0 Reply January 14, 2014

D. BrownI have so enjoyed your work over the years. I have been in the industry for some years and would be honored to work with an awesome cast. The resume is quite extensive and I wasn’t quite sure what avenue I needed to take to get an audition. I’m passionate about what I do so therefore it becomes ministry for me if I can help someone to change their mindset or see a situation or circumstance differently or if I can make someone smile or laugh by what I say or do than I have done what I was called to do. I consider myself a tripe threat and would love the opportunity to share the gift. Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you in the future. 0 Reply January 13, 2014

Louis ChatmanMy name is Louis Chatman, I am from St. Louis, Missouri, and acting is my passion. Tyler Perry is both amazing, and one of my favorite actors. Id love to be apart of one of his productions simply because of the outstanding work he does. I can relate so much when it comes to struggles, trials and tribulations, but in the end I know that I have to keep my faith. Tyler Perry inspires me in so many ways. His messages in everything he does reach out to me, and believe it or not, help me get through each day. It would be more than an honor to work with Mr. Perry. 0 Reply January 13, 2014
victoria mcdanielHello, my name is Victoria McDaniel, I’m 28 years old and I live in Decatur Ga, I’m currently attending International Performing arts Academy. I’m out going and very determined to be the best and do the best in whatever God had sent my way. Acting and modeling has been my calling since I was young. My mom sent me to Barbizon modeling school in my early years. I got kind of frustrated because I wasn’t getting anywhere, so I opened my own business, but I never have been able to go on with my life without feeling that even though I have my own business, my life is still not complete… I go to bed and wake up thinking about acting. I’m on the computer all day and night researching acting. So I prayed and asked God to send me a sign on what I need to do about my career. So when I woke up, I was more determined than ever. I signed up for the acting school. Now that I’m older, I know why I got frustrated so fast all those years ago. I didn’t have the drive and determination I have now. My preacher once said, and this has always stuck in my head, “ Everyone has their season, “ and I truly believe that this year is my season. I appreciate you taking the time to read my comments. I look forward to working with you in the future. Have a great day! 0 Reply January 12, 2014
Erica L. FrazierMy name is Erica and I am a 29 year old mother of three. I could drag this on but I’m honestly a “short and to the point” type of person. (Not to mention the fact that I would just like to tell you the details of my story face to face!) Well, let’s see… I did all the typical things, went to medical school, got pregnant, stopped, started back and soon found the love of my life. I married him, later found out that he was married already. I helped him beat Stage IV Colon Cancer for him to leave me for a much younger woman. Then he died. I’m supposed to be in the medical field, but my true love is acting. I’ve been, so everyone in my life says, “animated” all my life but I never thought I could get paid for it until my move to ATL. In the beginning, I said to myself, “Self?” Myself said “Hmm?” (In my Mr. Brown voice) Acting is what you do. I later found that it is NOT what I do, it’s who I am!!!! Now that’s love, true love….. 0 Reply January 12, 2014

I’ve always loved making people laugh, ever since I was a little kid. I enjoy acting, dancing, and singing. I have been in the school choir since eighth grade, I have been in the dance team since my freshman year, I have been in skits at my church and at my school, I have been cheering since I was five, and I have been running track since I was six. I would love to be considered for this movie because acting is my dream but I would also love to be a role model to people who have been through many obstacles and thinking you can’t live your dreams I want them to know you can do whatever you set your mind to.

marie eppsI would like to get somewhere in life but not for me. For the life of the people around me, in my City and arounnd the world who are suffering and in pain. I want to have enough money to fix some of these problems. I am a simple person that enjoys the small things in life. I am content in the Lord in times of success and despair. I would say I want a better life for me, to get out of the hood and have better but that’s not where my heart lies. I was called to be a servant of the Lord and that means to serve Him and my brothers and sisters of the world. There are some folks who die because they don’t even have clean drinking water, and I’m sorry I find that more important then a whole bunch of cars, airplanes, and a mansion! Stupid as this may sound I DO believe I can change the world just not alone, however together we can and everyday I live as the Father would want me to and make sure that every single day my eye remains on the sparrow and my purpose here. I know this much- everyone can have part in this big and small. With JUST words if that’s all one can offer. Together we can make this globe the place it was intended to be and for ALL people whom God created and adores. 0 Reply January 11, 2014
tipp mitchellI’m an aspiring singer songwriter and producer. I attended full sail university and I have been pursuing my dreams since I was 5 years old. I was five years old. I love to be challenged and with the industry looking for more gimicks and less talent it’s getting harder and harder to find an opportunity to achieve greatness and succeed, but even with the constant rejections I can’t give up. My dreams were birthed in me so that they could become reality not remain that dream. My motto is, “I’m great, therefore I am my greatest hurdle” these are my words and I stand firm on them. I just need a chance…a crack in a window. And even if I don’t get it here, I still won’t stop pushing 0 Reply January 11, 2014

willie FarriesHi I’m 28 my name is Willie and I’m a black man willing to do anything to take career his family. I just lost a job I had to pay for, to get paid! 2 hours and 45 minute drive to get to work and get on a truck and drive to Seattle, WA from Butte, MT. I did this on weekends the only time my wife and daughter have days free with school and Air force. Two trips a week slip seat many when I made it back to Butte, Mt I was sleeping in my wife’s GMC Envoy with a sleeping bag in 0 below weather, Friday to Wednesday. My resume is considered long to a normal job, compared to trucking because I have to move with my wife when she moves. I live in Great Falls, MT and getting a trucking job is that much harder that why I drove 2 hours away. If you don’t know someone up here finding a good job is hard being black. I been called monkey’s and all kinds of stuff as I work up here and the only comfort I have is that my wife is military and the Indians. I’m a man willing to try and do anything to provide for my family . I’m keeping faith this all is a test for us but in the mean time I need a income. I have a student loan I need to pay off because I want to go back to school, spouse don’t go to school free anymore, I have debit, and bad credit. Loan on my truck is for 8,900.00 I pay a 29.49% interest rate. I can’t get a loan for nothing not even furniture in my house. Life feels and seems bad to but I’m always help and loan out to help my brother, sisters, and mother. Seem Like I will never enjoy life in that American dream and that’s all I want. 0 Reply January 1, 2014
Shirley HunterHello Mr. Perry, My name is Shirley Hunter, I am a single mother to a wonderful 16 yearold son whom I love dearly. I have always had a passion for singing and acting, but I just never had enough money to make it where I need to get noticed. I believe that if given the opportunity I would be the right pick because God is in control of timing. And I believe I am walking into my destiny by faith. I also could make enough money to get out of debt and send my son off to college. If I were giving a chance to appear it might also help me get an agent so I can have my book published. It’s something I have been worrying hard on for the last year . I know I have a best seller but it’s hard when you are a new writer trying to get published. Last but not least it would be a dream come true to work with you Mr. Perry. You have really helped me with some of your movies . It’s like you are telling my life story in so many of them. It’s hard when no one believes in me anymore , but I know that God isn’t finished with me yet. Thank you and God blesss 0 Reply January 1, 2014
