How can I become a an established experienced actress?

Question

My family right now cannot afford acting classes. I guess we spend a little bit, but not much. I love acting! I just don't know how to start being professional.

Answer 1

Perform in every play you can... the key point is to be an artist. Just pursue it, perform, perform, perform, in any possible play to get seen by as many people possible... You also have to identify a style that you want. A person, group, or company that really make you think "I want to do that". Find a way to practice with their technique (and i said practice, rather than study). practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way. Make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy. Being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish. Best of luck

try auditioning for small parts to gain experience.  try visiting this site to look for auditions: hollywood-opportunities(dotcom)

Answer 3

Do EVERYTHING you can to get experience. Experience is your best teacher. Participate in all the community/school shows you can. Audition for everything. Build your resume. It is SO very rare that a novice actress with little to no experience becomes "professional." Work hard, and enjoy everything you do. Don't be waiting for your "big break", because it may never happen (no matter how talented you are, it's mostly chance). Just have fun along the ride! And break a leg!

ok you should know this right now but i'll be nice. take classes! take classes at an acting school in your area and participate in showcases because that's where all the agents go. anyways i know moneys tight but classes are a lot and there are always scholarships. but you can't do this cheap.
