Answer 1

First I would practice with some plays or monologues then I would try to find a agent to help you find a audition. Also ask your parents if you can go to a acting school or after school program.

Answer 2

Chill mate. First, slow down and enjoy where you are (Middle School), because I know a lot of 'professional' people who rushed to get where they are and regretted missing out on being a normal teenager.

Get involved outside of school: try local amateur theatre companies, and work your way up. You're only in year 7 so don't expect the best parts straight away, but make a start and MAKE CONNECTIONS. Most jobs in the industry are publisised by word of mouth. Find out if talent scouts, agents etc. come to your performances.

If you want to take the next step, find yourself an agent. Shop around, because some charge way to much. You want someone who'll actively seek out auditions for you. Again, be prepared to start from the bottom, with adverts, commercials, and TV guest spots if you're lucky.

Lastly, be on the look out for auditions yourself. Get your family and friends to look for you, and keep checking the internet and local newspapers for dates.

Basically, you've really got to want it because it takes a lot of time and dedication to get anywhere. But trust me, it's worth it.
