If you really want to act, rather than just being in "the Acting business," you have to find the time, make the time, and spend the time. It is an investment you are making in the future.
Acting doesn't happen overnight. No one just steps up on a stage an into a production without preparation of some kind. In my case, I knew I wanted to be involved in theatre and so I read plays every chance I got -- knowing dramatic literature is an important part and you should be able to find the time to do that.
I attended the theatre to see how it all worked, I tried acting on my own, memorizing entire plays (I was much younger when I was a child), then took classes in school, participated in productions and in anything acting related I could. In my downtime, I wrote plays, worked behind the scenes at community theatres, watched acting to see what worked and what didn't.
I went to college and learned more about acting, directing, design, theatre history, how lighting affects mood, and all the intangibles that so many people I see never learn: how to find the "sweet spot" of the light, when to time a punchline, don't move on a plot line.
You have to be willing to invest some time in it -- which may mean taking time away from something else -- if you really want to pursue it. If nothing else, for now, read any play you can get hold of and imagine it on stage.

David, as we have previously told you - take acting lessons!
Join the drama department at your school. You seem to want easy steps - there are no easy steps to becoming an actor.
You have to study for many, many years, to get good at acting.
You have to join an acting classes. Ask your parents to take you to the theater.
If you volunteer at a community theater in Dallas, you will realize that acting is VERY difficult.
Tell your parents to contact the list of talent agents I previously gave you. The talent agents in Dallas can guide you.
You can't get into the acting business without the approval of our parents - so if that is a problem for you - find another career interest.
David, if you do NOT have time to go to theaters, you DO NOT have time for acting. Find another career!
Acting takes commitment and a lot of work.

I have consistently been a puppy lover. When I set to work right here, the K9 unit was once consistently watching for quarries to come back out and lay tracks, take bites, some thing. So certainly I was once interested. It was once the identical proposal as you, blown away via looking a puppy do what it was once bred to do. I am in love with the breed. A few years later, my BF was once fortunate ample to get into the unit, so now I reside with one. It is some thing I am running closer to, I technically can not even observe but. In the period in-between, I nonetheless quarry, take publications and skim some thing I can. As for agility, I consistently desired to instruct my lab as a chicken puppy, I simply did not have the assets. We ended up entering an coincidence wherein we had been hit via a vehicle that have been rear ended. As a outcomes, the Lab is particularly afraid of loud noises now, so I wager weapons might be out of the questions, or no less than it might take plenty of labor. I desired to do some thing with him, and a buddy was once in an agility elegance, so I took him.

just be as brilliant as you think you are and an agent will find you, cast you and make you wealthy without any skill or talent. In the mean time, get used to the expectation that the world owes you something for nothing.

Work Hard! Stop shooting for the 1%.

Attend acting classes. Then you can network and know where the jobs are. Even Chuck Norris eventually had to go as well as Arnold.
