Question

What is the first step towards pursuing an acting career if you have no experience????

Answer 1

first step in my opinion is to build a portfolio. take up some time and write a script or find a script somewhere and find another person to interact with.set up a camera and record yourself.or have someone else to assist you.i have a lot of talent in film and have produced a few small short films.

   the object is not so much in the quality of the film but in the quality of the acting.if you can play a part in a play or a drama or a comedy and make it seem believable with expression of emotions and character strength,you should be able to make a video portfolio and then possibly locate an acting school that may consider your work as genuine interest and talent.

  or you could find a person who works to help build one for you. like me, but thats the lower approach.most people start off in modeling.

Answer 2

Read, read, read. And learn.  You need a ton of general knowledge. Useless information actually. And join an amateur  dramatic society.   Peace.

Answer 3

My first step would be to tell my parents that I'm interested in acting and ask them if I could sign up for a beginning acting class.

My second step would be to starti looking at community theatres in the area and see if there's anything I could audition for.

My third step would be to keep taking classes and keep auditioning so I could start to build a resume.
