I've been in a few school plays and i want to start in film acting now. I'm 13 years old. whats the first step

Answer 1

A few school plays will not qualify you to do film roles. You can do some extra work, but that will probably be about it for the time being.

Answer 2

Get yourself an agent. A good film/acting school wouldn't hurt either. Just remember what you're up against and that your odds of making it to the big time and slim. But if you are confident then try it out. Check out some agencies online near your town. See if they have any open auditions or if you can get an audition. Be careful that you are not going to an agency that sells classes instead of one that is going to get you jobs. For instance I want to be famous, like you haven't heard that one a million times, but anyway... I looked up a bunch of places online and first I went to JRP (john robert powers) but trust me you don't want to go there, i got selected but turned them down because they charge thousands of dollars for their classes you could get for much cheaper somewhere else. The second place I came across (Arquette and Associates) was actually very good, I did 10x more research online and found virtually no complaints! I found out that they hold open auditions once a week, so my older sister my dad and I all went up to the audition, dad just driving of coarse. Well anyway the guy came down and seemed really nice and explained everything, literally! We went into the audition room and the guy was really nice, we showed him some pics and he said he would email us with an answer, but he seemed like he liked us. Well I guess he did because my sister and I have a photo shoot this Sunday and he wanted my dad to have some pics taken too (no joke!). So I guess what I'm saying is that anything can happen. So research to make sure you're not getting jipped then go audition like crazy until you find somewhere where they like you and you like them! Don't let one no discourage you, remember, even tyra banks was turned down when looking for an agency! Good Luck!
