I want to become an actor but am I ready?

Question

I really want to become an actor and people tell me I'm good but i don't have much experience so im taking theatre this year at my school and I was wondering would that be enough experience?

Answer 1

No one ensures you success (only scammers!). And even more, you have to define “success”. First, make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy. If you want to be "famous" to make money, you should differentiate that 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. Be professional. Fame is something that can or cannot be there, but at least you will do what nurture you. Best of luck.

Answer 2

enough experience to what?  do this as a profession? god no.  only do this if you are prepared to spend years and years and years on classes and unpaid experiences.  an actor dedicates himself to constantly learning.  only after yeeeaaaarsss and years is it "enough", if ever.  if you aren't prepared for that don't go any further.

Answer 3

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! You need acting school, lessons, loads of plays, musicals, a college degree in acting and theater!!!
