  1. As with anything else, you need to know how to do it. That means you will need to learn by taking acting classes.

    I also recommend that you start to understanding how the acting industry works. Start reading some of the trade papers like Back Stage or Variety or Hollywood Reporter for example. You'll learn a lot.

    Also, pick up an acting technique book or two, like Sanford Meisner On Acting or The Art Of Acting. They will help you see what classes are like and help you understand what it is you can learn in them.

    Then, you will need some business skills that will help you to be able to get your talent notices. For me, this comes before getting an agent.

    When you do get an agent, you will see that it is not the agent that does ALL the work for you. If you rely soley on your agent to get auditions, you might find yourself frustrated and disappointed. Also, one reason to have taken classes and be at a good level before you get an agent is so that you will be ready for your shining moment when it comes along.

    Having said that, have a look at this page on my site for new and aspiring actors. It has 23 different links to pages that have to do with various aspects of starting an acting career, including 7 steps to getting started, 23 reasons why taking classes are so important, how to choose a school, industry information that you should know and how to figure out if this is really the thing for you.

    Be the best you can be and you will achieve some positive results.

    Good luck!

  2. first of all  u will need to have a good acting skills, which you can develop gradually in school gcse years, choose drama for ur 6th form choices. then it depends on your personal skills like communicating with other peoples. and doing what the director wants. beauty isnt essential, but helps ur career

  3. you must understand how express your emotions with words, and understand what's behind the people's words. many peoples think that you must know how to talk, but I consider that most important is ......."how to listen" !
