How can I become a Teen Actress?

Question

I Am 14 years old, and i have been doing theatre for about 6 years at my communtiy theatre group, and dancing for 5. I haven't gotten large parts because i have been so young, but finally i am old enough to get a lead, so i'm hoping for the best. Well anyway, my parents are divorced, and i don't have a lot of money. I live in NY, but not NYC. My mom isn't very supportive of my dream, and i've had this dream since i was 8. Acting/Singing is my passion, and i would very much like to persue it. I don't want to be a nobody, i want something to happen in my life.Please, if anybody has any ideas,websites,suggestions, answer this. Thank you veryy much! PS- I VERY MUCH prefere Disney.

Answer 1

look for acting jobs.  this site should be able to help you with casting calls and auditions: Hollywood-opportunities(dotcom)

Answer 2

well, i would start with modeling. then when you get big and you have an agent.. you can start looking for auditions. that is the best way to do it. and it would be better if you lived in los angeles or any big city.

Answer 3

If you have to ask about it, then it's too late for you.

Answer 4

first off, a LOT of people have this same dream and I had to learn the hard way. second, do research. find auditions in your area. if you like disney, go to their website and look at what they are offering for people your age. also, there are a lot of jobs out there that require your kind of talent, but probably won't get you famous like all the celebs right now, but if this is REALLY your passion, it's not about fame or money, but entertaining people and being happy. thats what theatre is. but i think research is the place for you to start. :) it's a hard profession and fame doesn't come easy... this is something that you have to remember and you have to work REALLY hard to get what you want in the business. hope this helps :)
