Do you think it would be easy being a movie/commercial without any acting classes?

Question

like i could get headshots and stuff.

but i dont know if i have the money for acting classes.

like can i just go to auditions for a movie/commercial, and not have any acting experience at all or would they not take me serious?

Answer 1

no they will not let you in and it is hard to take you seriously here. It is possible to become an actor without any training or experience, I have worked with one like that.  But it is so rare, that most actors need years of experience acting in plays and non union films and so on and they need years of acting classes, not to learn to act, which you cannot be taught, but must be born with, but to learn about the business and some techniques that will help you know what to do on the set. So back to square one, get in the school plays, work for several years gaining experience and training (start saving for it) and hope you are that lucky one in ten million who make it.

Answer 2

Yea, you can audition, but you won't be taken seriously. You need to show that you actually want to make it in this industry. Without experience you will be seen as someone who's just in it for the fame and doesn't really want it. Try going to the park district, well that's what they call it in my city. It's like a place that gives all of these lessons for everything, including acting. Take some lessons and participate in modeling and plays. Good luck.
