How do I even begin acting?

Question

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.

Answer 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!

I hope I helped!

God bless!

Answer 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.
