Answer 1

relax and have fun.  you'll be learning a lot, i bet.  after taking classes, and when you think you're ready, try auditioning.  this site should be able to help you out: hollywood-opportunities(dotcom)

I can understand your excitement and ambition.  I, too, was alot like that when I was young.  

The best thing that ever happened to me was being lucky enough to be told that it was nice to see someone so young with so much drive and ambition.  The other thing that I am now grateful for was being involved with as much theatre as I could when I was young.   I then met a lot of older people who shared their stories and especially exposed me to poetry, Shakespeare, music (classical, jazz, etc).   They all really taught me that there were so many things I could be using my energy to absorb.  It was the best thing that could have happened, I learned to appreciate all of those things in a way that has made a life in the entertainment arts so fulfilling.  

I do think that you should start exploring all of those things if they aren't already a part of your life.  Then get through highschool, be involved in lots of theatre, meet people, be generous, be grateful for the opportunities, and then when you get to be about 16-17 start looking into going to Drama School.  "Classical Acting" is a great foundation (London based schools are fantastic), but there are a few good one's in the US as well.  

Just keep your excitement and ambition up, and go use that energy to expand your experiences right now.  

Answer 3

first, stick with focusing your acting classes because you still have a long way to go. you don't need to worry about finding an agent just yet so just go with the flow. maybe something will come up :)
