  2. First of all, complete a general education that will equip you to take care of yourself in life.

    While you&#039;re doing that, consider these tips:

    - Read a lot - learn about as many things as you possibly can.

    - Go to every audition you can find at schools and community theaters.  Be prepared for rejection, but remember it’s not because you aren’t good enough, it’s because you aren’t what they’re looking for.  

    - Accept even the smallest part, and if they don’t offer you anything, volunteer for tech or house work.  

    - Whatever you end up doing, be reliable.  

    - Be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting, unnoticed.  

    - When you make a commitment, live up to it—even if something better comes along.

    - Remember, even if you’re playing the lead, it isn’t about you.

    - Experience is the best teacher, possibly the only one that’s of any use.

    - Be aware that the average annual income for a professional actor is something like $1,000!

    - Unless you can express youself in standard English, spoken and written, you will get nowhere.

    GOOD LUCK!


  3. there has to be somewhere near you that presents an opportunity. Even perhaps the nearest &quot;big city&quot; They will have an acting agency. Someone anywhere is always looking for an actor. Get a headshot.. an 8x10 picture of you... from a good photographer... go to the agent... and see what happens.  FInd theatre in your area...or a stage...or something.  In the words of the philosopher/poet Nike...&quot; Just do it &quot;

  4. First off, I commend you for typing that entire question without using any punctuation whatsoever.

    On to your actual question...

    You say there aren&#039;t acting classes by your house. Do you have a community theatre? There are probably classes there. If you live in a small town, look into places in cities near you. You mentioned you&#039;re in drama class at school, that should count as an acting class.

    Wait until you have more experience to get an agent. Be in more school productions, and community theatre. Then go to open auditions for commercials, student films, etc. And find some more classes. Then you can look for an agent.
