Question

i want to become an actress and my parents say its to expensive and they wont take it into consideration when really its not that expensive i dont think anyway but i was wondering what does it take to become an actress in a little town called dubuque its in iowa if you were wondering

Answer 1

It does not really matter where you live. There are famous successful stars. So your first step is to get experience. If you think you are confident   enough with or without experience, then you should get and agent. To get and agent you can look on line. But before you get an agent, you should have head shots. If you can afford them, your parents are right they are expensive. Instead of wondering how to get one, when you audition for an agency, they will recommend some. Or if you can't afford them, you can find an agency that will pay the photographer and includes that in their signing package. The bennefits are that you don't have to pay. But the catch is they get to keep your photos and you can only have some when you need them for an audition. So, it has its ups and downs.



Hope this helps!:)

Firstly if your dream is to act, and you take every opportunity to do so then you are an actress already.  If your question is how to become a famous actress, i can give you a little outline to help guide you along the process.  Always start small, little community plays are a big help, and you never know who will be there.  If you are not willing to leave it to chance than take the initiative to make connections.  Find someone who knows someone who can help you.  I got the audition with the agency i am currently with because my mom's friend's son was with the agency.  Most of the time your rise to fame begins with your network.  Also, search the web for cattle calls for non-union actors in your general area.  Before i had an agent i used this sight http://casting-call.us.  Finally, put some time aside to develop your resume (no fancy font just time new roman or arial) and take some head shots (expensive but worth it when they are a quality company i suggest glamour shots).  Thanks for reading and good luck :)
