Hello my friends, my name is Zaid and I am 15 years old. I am from Jordan and I have a lot of experience in the field of acting. I aspire to become a great actor and to participate in great works. I am waiting impatiently for the opportunity, but unfortunately I have two problems. The first is my age and the second is that I cannot pay the travel costs. However, I will continue to struggle for my dream.Is there anyone who can help me in any way?

Hi, Zaid Alessa. Welcome to the community. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Acting Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're introducing yourself. If you make a post that starts a conversation that’s helpful or educational to the community (like asking a question or giving advice), it can go in the Acting Lounge. Let me know if you have any questions.
Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world. Producers, directors, casting directors, writers, and more. www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...
And here's the link to Stage 32’s latest Community Open House (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-s-august-community-open-house). It's free to watch. Your parents or guardians can sign up for you to watch it. It'll also help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros.
Since you’re a minor, make sure your parents or guardians are aware of your account and have access to it. Also, be especially careful about privately connecting with anyone on the platform.

Thanks for sharing your dream with us, Zaid Alessa, and welcome to Stage 32! I’m Ashley, the Head of Community here, and I’m so glad you’ve joined us.
Your passion for acting shines through in your message, and I want to encourage you to keep pushing forward. So many creatives around the world have faced obstacles like age, location, or finances, but what sets them apart is their persistence, just like yours.
I’d love to invite you to connect with other actors in our Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting). It’s a great place to ask questions, share your experience, and learn from others working toward similar goals. You might also find inspiration in the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing).
While you may not be able to travel right now, remember that many opportunities begin online. Keep training, keep acting (even in small or local projects), and stay connected here. You’re part of a global community now, and we believe in you.

Zaid Alessa At 15, I’m concerned about a couple of things:
Legal participation: Just using the site may be in violation of Stage32's terms of use policy which restricts anyone under 16 from using the platform, and even users between 16 and 18 must have parental or guardian permission to access or use it. At 15, while the initiative is commendable you could put both yourself and Stage32 at risk.
Safety risks: Almost everything you’ve posted could make you vulnerable to predatory behavior. Even adults sometimes get duped on professional platforms like this, and a 15-year-old who openly shares financial struggles and eagerness to travel is at much higher risk.
Because of these factors, you would need to work through a guardian or some form of representation. Posting openly like this at your age is far too risky the way I see it.

You can get involved in acting in your local country, in theatre or film. You don't need to travel and certainly don't need a handout.
