Are there any requirements to be an extra in a movie? And if it’s simply looks, would I fit the part? (pic)?

Question by Alycia ♥: Are there any requirements to be an extra in a movie? And if it’s simply looks, would I fit the part? (pic)?
I’m 13 and thinking about what I’d like to do with my life.
An actress was a possibility, and I would like to see what goes on in the making of a movie.
I saw that extra auditions for Camp Rock 2 were open, and thought that it would be a nice movie to start out with.

Would I need any requirements?
I’ve heard before that it’s simply your looks that gets you in, so do you think I would fit in for the movie?

Oh, my nose isn’t THAT long in the first picture, it’s just the angle of the picture 🙂

Thank you so much!

Extra work is pretty simple to get and they pretty much take anyone. You’ll need the cooperation of your parents though. One thing to be wary of…there are tons of scammers who will tell you they are holding some kind of audition for something that is popular with kids. Then they try to sell you acting classes and photo sessions at twice the going rate. One thing to look for, do you live where the movie is being made? If not it is definitely a scam. If so, good luck!
