Answer 1

go to this link and sign up. its free but if you want to upgrade it cost money.you would probably need an agent but if you don't want one it's fine, just look for roles that you could play and send the cast director some head shots and they'll see. you could even send them an email.but i suggest you start in commercials. i did one commercial and it was fun.so do that first to get credits.if you do ever take classes use them as credits. if you need more details or have questions send me an IM here's the link. http://actorspages.org/ and here's the link to my page. http://www.actorspages.org/sharmainemerr... please recommend me to someone I'll make sure i tell people about you even if you don't do the same for me.and i suggest you get an agent and take classes it'll help alot because you do need to learn some things but do what you belive in .send me an IM.GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

acting does require some studies. whether you want to perform for stage or film you still need to know techniques like enunciation, projection, working with partners, improv, etc.

in order to pursue a serious career, you'll need to find an agent, which in itself is a hard task. usually agents require you to audition for their services. prepare two contrasting pieces (comedic and dramatci monologues) look up some local talent agencies and you'll be on your way.
