Acting/drama?

Question

So..

I have been doing drama/acting for around a year now I'm only 13

& i just love acting i have been told by all my drama teachers that I'm fantastic at acting =] i do acting for 3 hours a week & I'm going to start doing it for 6 the only problem is most actors start acting when they are 12 but i only started classes then. I live in Australia were it is easier to get into shows/movies. but do you think i have a chance?

I have been offered a modeling career for when I'm 16

thank you everyone =]

Answer 1

So do all the acting you can, consider professional school for acting. Most actors do not start when they are 12. How absurd. IF your modeling offer is legit, take it, modeling is often an entree into acting.

Answer 2

I just answered a Q regarding age, and while I understand that the majority of people who come here are VERY young, I'm 51 years older than you are, and believe you probably don't consider anyone 10 or more years your senior to have any validity, I'm amazed always, by anyone thinking there has to be any age limit, up or down, to be involved in anything.

   I'm most curious as to where you got that figure in your statement "MOST START AT 12".  Hopefully at age 12 most of you want to experience and enjoy something of your life, beyond just rushing into acting.

Answer 3

I think you might have a chance :)

good luck

Answer 4

yeah you have a chance. if your good then your good. and if you have a shot at modeling then you must be pretty which always helps. just keep going for it and take any chance you get! good luck :)

Answer 5

do what your heart tells you to do..... it never hurts to try.
