People think i should become an actress?

Question

Ok so im told that i have a really funny sense of humor and know how to express things well with my facial ....expressions lol and a lot of my friends think i should try acting....they think it'd be a good career for me because they think that "I'd be a natural" but i have no clue how to go about it or anything. I've never acted before in my life except in a play in the 3rd grade. thats my acting life so far. Im actually starting to research it but im not sure where to start or what to do if i decide this is what i should do in life. How would i be able to become an actress if i live in Rio Rancho New Mexico? I've heard that they're filming some stuff in Albuquerque which is really close to where i live but how and where would i go to get auditions to see if im cut out for this or not? And does anybody know the big movies that are going to be shot in ABQ ? I heard that the next terminator is one of them...but idk what to do!! please help!! thank you for your answers :))!!!

1. get some training (dance,voice acting)

2. community theater

3 make sure you REALLY want this

4 get an agent

this all could take years but go and follow your dreams and always have a backup

Answer 2

Definitely take some classes.  But remember, no matter how much of a natural you are it's gotta be you who want to do it, because it's hard, and even the most successful actors spend a lot of time getting rejected.

Which doesn't mean that it isn't a great career if it's what you really want.  Get training, ask everybody's advice, and go for it if it's what you want.

Answer 3

Hey! It's really cool that you're interested!

First of all, you need to take a bunch of acting classes. You say you've never acted except for in 3rd grade - which I mean, you probably didn't know any real techniques or tricks of the trade. So get enrolled in some of those acting classes near you!

Then get involved in some community plays, local theatre, student films, and maybe try to be an extra in one of those upcoming films.

Get some professional headshots.

Write up an acting resume (you can google that to find out how and what it is)

You can send your headshots and resume to various agencies in New Mexico. Here are some legit ones that are franchised with SAG:
