Answer 3

What kind of acting? If you want to be in musicals then you need to make sure you take drama, choir and dance classes; they can be really helpful. Get lots of experience by doing school plays/musicals and try signing up with a local theatre group. That's what I'm doing, and I'm 14 myself. Good luck!

Answer 4

get some training and experience in drama or school plays. then find castings online and submit yourself with a good resume and a headshot. Wait for the callback :D

Answer 5

Okay, you have the right mindset and you are in pretty much the perfect age range for wanting to become an actor :D

So what you have to start out with is this...

1) Get into the drama class at your school immediately

2) Drop by your public library and pick up 3-4 books on acting (and read them all ! but don't stop there, keep getting more and more books:)

3) Audition for all, and every performance venue at your school. (the more experience you get, the better!)

4) Swing by a local community college and take a couple acting classes

5) start memorizing and working on (extensively) audition monologues

6) Audition for all of your local community theatre, and church performances etc...

7) Talk to your parents (if you feel you are a strong enough performer, and if you like acting) about helping you achieve a career in acting.

8) Get some headshots done (nothing too expensive or flashy, just something clean and professional)

9) Find and audition for nearly all SAG or AFTRA approved talent agencies

10) and remember... ACTING IS A VERY ROCKY CAREER CHOICE :D be ready for lots of rejection, criticism, hard work, and perseverance

but you can do it!! ^.^
