Question

Does anyone know good acting classes in chicago? i want to be famous so bad?

Answer 1

Well first of all, if you're just trying to get famous, stop.  Cause the odds are about a-billion-to-one that you will attain stardom.  There are hundreds - if not thousands - of actors and actresses who can't even make rent, let alone who aren't famous.

Acting isn't something you do to get on the red carpet or to get your picture in a magazine.  If you want that, find someone who's really rich and marry them.  Acting is a skill and a profession that takes work, devotion, and an understanding that you may end up being a waiter for the rest of your life.  It's a big risk, pursuing acting as a career, and only those who truly love acting need apply.

My short burst of contained outrage is now over.

That said, I'd recommend  Play On, The Audition Studio, Act One or Actor's Process.

Good luck!

I am not trying to make you feel bad or anything but if be "famous" is all you care about you might as well think about doing somehting ealse. Most actors don't get famous. And the ones that do are the truely passonate ones.
