How does a teen get started in the singing and acting business?

Question

I'm 14 and I live in Everett, WA! My parents aren't that supportive and will not go across the country for me and they are on a budget. But, I really love singing and acting and think I could go somewhere.

Answer 1

Well I'm 14 also and I love singing and acting but acting more. MY parents are divorced and are supportive but wont go across country for me and they are also on a budget. I recommend you wait till you are 18 and before then save up money so you can set a goal for the place you want to audition in. when that time comes around give them the best you've got. Good luck.

Answer 2

If your good, you'll make it.

Answer 3

GO ON-LINE AND TRY TO FIND OUT IF THEIR ARE ANY CLASSES IN YOUR AREA.

Answer 4

first off, get some experience. no ones would probably hire you for anything unless you got some connections, which i doubt. if you an aspiring actress then go get lessons. perfect first step

Answer 5

Oh wow i dont want to get your hopes up or anything but i live in Los angeles and the chances of me and my brother getting into it is a lot higher, but even at that point we havent gotten anywhere. My mom wasted ALOT of money, and time. So i wouldnt move all the way here and pay all of the money for an agent, classes, and headshots, and workshops, and acting classes. I did all of that i was in acting classes for 5 years, and it got me no where. So i mean its only for a select few.  As for as singing i would guess the same..
