Answer 1

Get involved with anything to do with the performing arts. If your school has a drama club, join it. If it doesn't, start it. Ensure you have the support of your family.

See if there is any community theatre you can get involved in. Also, the greatest asset, is watching other actors on stage. Many theatre companies will accept volunteer ushers (providing that you aren't a criminal or anything). It's the beat because after you take everyone to their seats, you get to watch the show for free! Heck, you might be an usher and actually get paid!

Answer 2

Answer 3

Alright!. I`m an actress and first thing is first make sure your family supports you 100%. because if they don't then you`ll have a problem getting to casting calls and auditions. Practice! practice make perfect, look at yourself in the mirror and talk but talk as if you were somebody else that`s how you`ll get used to acting in front of people who know you and everyone else too. Try to get monologues of the internet,library,a book etc. (Shakespearean plays usually have monologues). See if your school has a Drama club or drama class if so sign up! try to get as much experience possible and then make a resume of all the experience you have had after that try to get head-shotot idozenen`t have to be expensive you can get one at the mall then you send them to a talent agency{ you could look for one on the internet}

get an agent, after you get an agent then you start going to auditions and that`s were the fun begins!!
