Answer 1

Okay, you have the right mindset 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)

8 1/2) Put together your acting resume. It includes all performances, awards (for performing), and training that you've had

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

9 1/2) If you don't want an agent, you can always audition at cattle calls, showcases, or talent searches

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!! ^.^

Answer 2

Start taking classes first then start to study what is going on in the world of acting. Do a search for acting classes in your area. Go to the internet and find out what it will be like to be an actor day to day. It's different from what you see on television.

Good luck!

Answer 3

well, stay in school. go to drama clubs and acting. you should only try to achieve an acting carreer if everyone says that your a great actor/tress.  then just find an agent, or if your really good, they'll find you. search up some agents. from there, its rough sailing. get ready for alot of rejects and tears. this is one tough business.
