  1. Get an agent and get an Equity card.  

    Get a thick skin.  Audition for everything.   Work on your speaking skills, singing, dancing....  all of that.   Sing every kind of music.  Take dancing lessons, learn ballet, jazz, tap and all of that.  Learn parts of plays and poems to recite at auditions.  Try out for all the school plays.  Be a team player, so if you don't get a part, be apart of the crew, and be friends with anyone who shares your dream.

    It's hard work.   If you live in a city, then approach a theatre company about joining as an actor.  Learn from the adults.    You can learn about parts that come available in your city with regards to local tv commercials and local agencies that can represent you.

    Just beware.  No respectable agence charges clients up front.  You pay them when you get paid work.  You will need to invest in headshots and a professional resume, but the agency can help you develop all that.  

    WORK HARD        LEARN HARD      Acting takes a lot of reading and memorization.  Educate yourself about playwrites, and practice plays together.   Memorize parts of plays where you and your friend can work on scenes.  The library will have plays you can access.  

    Good luck.


  2. join a local drama group take part in plays short films etc. in short act. get out there and find anything to do with drama in your area. if you have talent it wont be long till you get an agent and jobs, good luck

  3. Most people who make it big say that when they are still small, it almost always gets to them though and they eventually forget that promise.

    But if you want to get noticed, you have to show up at places where talent agents look.  You are already trying for Drama Class, which will start you on basics.  I would suggest trying out for plays and such outside of schools, showing up to things like Disney's deal where they go to area malls to have people try out for their shows.  

    Also try out for modeling jobs.  Tyra Banks, Giselle Bundchen, Kathy Ireland all made it to film by taking the modeling route first.

    Look online and in the papers for commercial tryouts, that can be a good springboard to bigger acting jobs.  And see about working on music skills as well.

    Many a singer has moved to acting and vice versa; making it in one arena and using that fame to jump to the arena they actually wanted.  Will Smith, Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus), Britney Spears, Harry Connick, Jr. all come to mind as music artists that moved to acting.

    Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Raven Symone all come to mind in the other direction.  

    Maybe you can follow that pathway.

    Main point is, just keep trying.  Show up to everything, and be ready for rejection.  Acting careers are more about rejection than anything; and you have to be able to pick yourself up immediately and move on to the next opportunity.
