Answer 1

I think a degree is the last thing an actress needs.  These days, I think all it takes is looks or the ability to umm... "perform"

Answer 2

half the celebs haven't gone to college, and don't have degrees. some are even not high school grads.

be fit or be a comedian or be a talk show host

find a good agency out there that will be able to help you out, and one where you won't have to pay so much to use their services.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Talent, money, and connections.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I agree get an agent.

Answer 7

First yo have to be a girl to be an actress.

Second you need good speaking skills, and you need to be involved with some sort of theatre arts.

Can you act is the question!

If you're given a peice of paper telling you that you need to look the part of a person who just lost your job.

You need to be able to.

For example you'd probably weep in misery,crying of how you don't know what to do.

Acting is subjective.

Don't feel bad if you're told you can't do it,it takes alot of imagination to put yourself into character.

Answer 8

Sleep with every Tom, d**k and Harry

Answer 9

Take acting classes, in high school, and Major in theater in College and Graduate School.  Audition for every role at your school that is "right, for you."  

Go to the best school you can, if you want to be taken seriously, as an actor.

Join the Community Theater, in the city where you live, so you can get a lot of exposure working in front of a live audience.   Also, attend as many theater productions as you can.  

Good Luck.

Answer 12

you have to be at the right place and right time, know people!

Answer 13

Don't need any of that! Just having excellent memory a really out going personality and not have a shy bone in your body.

At least take some acting classes somewhere so you know if you have talent for it and get to know the lingo. A lot of people think they can but when it comes down to the  "camera....action.... rolling" they freeze up!

Start out small in stage plays and see how you fair.

being a good one

Answer 15

okay first get a very beautifull head shot... then call any local agents.. if they are offering classed dont take it its not an agency also if they want money up front DONT PAY THEM ..they are not intrested in you ... they only want your money... a good agent will not make you pay.. the only time you have to pay is when he or she books you a job.. only 10% of your paycheck goes to them.. also if you want to be a good actress get classes from school or simmer camps there really good... hope this helped sweety.. hope you are sucessfull!
