a screen test is if you're trying out for a movie, which you may not be doing anytime soon if you're a beginner. a screen test is where you read some lines in front of a camera and then the producers and casting directors decide if they want you to come back or not. if you really feel like you want to persue this more, try out for a school play, or join a community theater.

You definetely have an excellent dream. If you work hard and have some good luck you can achieve it.

You'll want to continue acting in your school plays and if possible in any plays in your local community. Make sure that people in Ipswich know that you love acting, AND that you are good at it. Make sure to try out for all local roles. Eventually you'll receive bigger and bigger parts, reaching your dreams

The internet can also be an excellent to learn about acting, auditioning, and the business of acting. If you search for "acting tips", "audition tips", etc. plently of resources will be available. Bewary of resources that try to charge you they are most liekly scams. You are better off looking for reliable information from media oriented sites.
