Question

Answer 1

Start by performing in community theatre in your area.  Most actors work in theatre, the film industry is brutal...but if you are good you can and will work in theatre.  

I suggest trying out for your local theatre. as you get better, the parts will get better as well.  Then get into a reputable acting department at a college.

If you are skilled in music performance and dance, you are also more marketable.

best of luck  

Answer 2

If you are really interested in finding out the nitty gritty details on the buisness of acting, how to get started, and how to make a difference in your career then I suggest taking a workshop I am hosting October 4th in Calgary or Oct 5th 2008 in Edomonton.

You will learn just about everything you need to hit the ground running
