Answer 1

Find a place locally where you can start acting. Start small, and work your way up. If you're in high school of college, take some theatre classes. If not, look for some community theatre and go from there. Every role you get adds some experience, so try your best to simply act! Break a leg!

Answer 2

2. get experience(school plays, acting school recitals, community theater)

Answer 4

Start by taking classes workshops and seminars  at a local community theater such as improvisation classes also take your schools free drama elective/ club if they have one.Get a singing coach and join a choir to develop a decent singing voice. Take dance classes such as tap, ballet, jazz, lyrical, hip-hop or a combination musical theater dance class.  Take lots of them until you think that you're good enough for an audition. The more of these training opportunities and shows *which can be found at local theaters, schools and church*  you have on your resume` the more likely you are to get a better role because you have lots of experience. The better your resume` the easier it will be for you to get an agent who will help to find you acting jobs.  

Answer 5

The key point is to be an artist. Just pursue it, perform, perform, perform, in any possible play to get seen by as many people possible... You also have to identify a style that you want. A person, group, or company that really make you think "I want to do that". Find a way to practice with their technique (and i said practice, besides study). practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way. Make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy. Being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish. Get your family support. Welcome! Best of luck!

Answer 6

if you really really really want it:

go to local acting classes. participate in lots of community theatre (build up ur resume.) and then get a headshot and an agent and move to LA.this process takes years and you will be rejected 99.999% of the time.

Answer 7

That's my problem...I really really really--- want it but no almost nothing about it,but I heard that you can start somewhere right. But here is what I'm gonna do and hopefully helps you think of something... well amma start small like school plays or around in any plays around the community, so then I can audition at least as an extra in a movie or television series so when I finally audition for a big part I'll have more experience and it will look good when I audition.

Hopefully it helps and hopefully our dreams come true!
