I don't live in a big acting place like Hollywood or New York. In fact, I live in South TX. I really want to start acting, even if it's just being an extra in a film or someone who's in the background. How can I work my way up? I'm going into 8th grade, by the way.

  1. Im your age and i started acting a few years ago. I just started by doing community theatre so i get used to the feeling of people watching me and acting. its good practice. After you go into a few play, i would suggest maybe getting an agent or go online and find auditions. i know this is a typical answer but its totally true!

    heres and audition you could try--http://actinginfo.blogspot.com/2007/09/c...

    p.s.-a headshot might help too. they're expensive but worth it. i havent got one yet though.

    I hope I helped!

    God bless!


  2. Participate in school plays and try out for parts in productions held by theatre programs in your city. then just work your way up, and maybe you'll get discovered. well, uh, good luck!!

  3. i'm in south texas too!

  4. Usually once you get into high school, there is a class that's called Theatre. But idk all schools are different. Did you check your school's course catalog? If acting doesn't take place in your grade yet, I would look up the career and read about acting.

  5. school plays, local commercials then when your older and have more experience move to LA and try out acting there

    good luck

  6. try exploretalent.com
