3 years of ice skating

grade performances all throughout elementary and preschool

chorus

and violin for 3 years

Answer 1

I dont think people can teach yo how to act. I think acting classes dont teach you act, they just bring out what you have had inside all along... Ok my cheezey moment is over x]]. Experience is defenitally a factor, but its not THAT important. Keep in mind, you will be gping up against kids who ahave been acting there whole life. I went to audition for a movie (acting for 7 or 8 years,) and a girl got the part and it was her 1st time. Rember, iyou might not get the part based on how you look. It sucks, but its true.

Okay, bottom line, no it does not matter. Go out tehre at Rock Your AUDITION!!

Answer 2

no, you do not have to have experience the only thing you need is talent! your resume is pretty good and im sure you should find something! Just don't give up! and good luck with Camp Rock 2!

Answer 3

Actually ... Dan Radcliffe was in David Copperfield the TV movie before it ...

... but ...

... all that would be great to put on an acting resume so you may have a better chance at getting better opportunities

Answer 4

If you're meant to make it you will.

Experience 'shmerience. Who cares?

If you've got it, you've got it. No questions asked. I don't care what anyone says, I've seen people who are supposed to be all that ... years of experience under their belt... be garbage-- and newbies totally get picked up on their first try.

Best of luck to you :)

Answer 5

Acting is one of the few careers where you dont need experience but it sure helps.  The one thing is getting used to being infront of the camera.  Your first time it can get very nerve racking but once you get more experience then you start to forget its there.
