Where can i get the most information on how to become and actor.?

Question

ive been in school plays(musicals) before (im only 16)but i didnt like it, its not that i didnt like the big crowd watching, but that there was always that thought that hey no matter if you mess up this musical is still going to continue. that and having to remember what to say and if you mess up you stand there like an idiot thinking what to say,while everyone is staring and thinking that you really are an idiot. what i think it would be like if you mess up in making a movie, someone can just say "cut".then you can have some time to rethink it over again and go at it until you get your best.what im trying to get at is i wanna find and get to know a way that i can be noticed without someone saying oh lets look at his backround well whats shown here it say that this kid didnt perticipate in any plays. well i hope that someone who reads this doesnt go what he did or didnt do but to see if he actually will give all his heart and energy to something that he wants.

Answer 2

In film they expect you to be ready to go on the first take, it wastes everyone's time and money if you can't get it together in front of an audience and yes, film is not always done on a closed set.

the more experience you have the more likely you are to get hired.

Take an improv class so you learn how to roll with the punches.

You should look up for questions similar to yours here, on Y! Answers. If they're already answered, you should ask the person who answered best because they might know more information about acting. I think I also read someone (castingqs, I think) write to go to ActorsAccess.com, maybe you should try that. I think that going to acting school  is the first step, but I'm not sure either... I'm trying to figure that out myself. Well, I hope this helped and good luck.
