  1. Well, one thing you can get into is community theater. Try to get out there with other people trying to do the same thing and participate in a play or something, just so you can learn a thing or two about the acting life. Maybe explore the drama department in your school. That is a good way to start; experience is the first step to knowing if you want to really get into this.


  2. start with classes at school then do plays at shcool build up your resume get experience! then get an agent and if you want to be succesful it will take years of hard work slowly climbing the ladder of success but if you get a chance to do somethign big go for it!

    for agents and all the info you need go to actinginfo.blogspot.com and talentagents.blogspot.com for the agent one click table of contents then click city nearest you. read everything on the site

    answers wont pop up infront of you so look around and click on the words in blue but not the ones that are double underlined!

  3. if u wanna act..

    First of all, if you want to have a career with acting then you most definitely need an agent. But you cannot just get an agent. You need a lot of training and experience first for that to happen. You should start off by trying out for lead roles in school plays, or local community stuff for plays. Then eventually, you should get a headshot of yourself and send the pictures to many agents and casting directors to see if they want you along with your resume. If you do get an agent, you will have to audition, audition, audition for roles. There will be alot of rejection because it is hard to get a role with many others fighting for it too. This business is incredibly competitive.

    if you want to become a big time actress then you will need tons and tons and tons of luckkkkk!, talent, commitment, determination, sacrifices, time, patience, & more. because chance of that happening is very slim. You must enjoy what you are doing and have a passion for it because if you don't, you probably won't be happy and successful. Do not do it for money and fame because you won't get anywhere. This is reality. If you do have a strong passion for it and really want to do this then go for it. You're doing what you love.

    Btw, i hear a lot of this from people. "How much are agents?, are they expensive?"

    Agents only get 10% of what you make. That's how they make the money. The pay you get from acting in roles, they get 10% of tht. understand? Also, you do not pay agents up front or anything extra like that. they are not legit and are just running after your money. Make sure that this agent is legit. But you won't get in agent till laater.

    DO NOT GOOGLE OPEN CASTING CALLS ! 99.9% of them are SCAMS. Trust me, it's not somewher you want to go. They will take your information and use it. Also, they will take alot of YOUR MONEY. it's NOT legit at all, no matter how reall they seem. Especially the ones that almost gaurentee success are the ones tht are scams. scam scam scam, They are all over the business. You can't get real roles from online, you need an agent to get them for you. Casting directors only give these roles directly to agents. Which is why getting an agent is vital to get these roles.

    ALSOOOOOOOO, talk to your parents! sit them down and let them know you want this.

    Check out the library, they'll have books on acting.

    GOODLUCK !

    ------------------------

    you'll be really lucky if u get anywhere. just so u know, if you don't get those BIG time acting roles, then don't picture yourself living in luxury. You will have to always look for work and won't make a lot of money. you need to do this because you love to and it is your passion so tht u enjoy wht ur doin and ur happy. if its for money & fame, you will not have a happy future and will most deff. not go anywhere or be famous.

    being like miley cyrus(whom has no talent) is like winning the lottery... twice!

    very, very, very hard right?.

    BUT if u are willing to go thru all of the rejection, patience, and everything, then go ahead. u will have to deal with wht goes thru it & have a strong passion for it. then u should do it! :) if not, dont even bother.

    good luck lovee ! :)
