I'm 15 and I really want to be an actress.I live in a small town that hardly anyone knows about if any.My parents don't have a lot of money so they can't pay for lessons in acting so I can't get any experience.My school is small so we don't do plays & all that stuff.I'm a little shy but I'm coming out of it because I know you can't be shy if you want to be an actress.This is a dream of mine & I want to be an actress because I love acting & I think it would be fun.I'm not going to say it's not for the money because everyone wants to have money, but I will say that the money isn't why I want to be an actress.I have no way of acting in commercials or plays so if anyone knows how a person in my situation could get into the acting business please help.Oh yeah & my parents aren't that supportive so if there was a way to act in a commercial or something they wouldn't take me.When school starts my friends & I are going to get a camera & act out our favorite shows so it should help with shynes

A lot of the finest theatrical artists started by putting on plays in their backyards. Make your own opportunities. Also pay attention to craigslist, nowcasting.com, casting.com, cinefuse, etc. and look for when a film is shooting location work near you. If you can get your parents to cooperate you may be able to do some extra work.

You know, it's very likely that sites like YouTube could radically change the way some people break into the acting business. You're already on track with getting that camera and filming yourself. Try to think up some imaginative stuff that will grab peoples attention and upload to YouTube.
You should also try to do something every day that can advance your way down that path. Get some books on acting at the library, or memorize lines from a book and act them out in front of a mirror, whatever. Just do something every day. Remember, it might take years to accomplish, but it's not impossible.
I wish you the best of luck, and sincerely hope that all your dreams come true.

A pillar of salt could be very tough and in the ones nations without a rain, it could stay so. It indicates hardening. Clinging to the historical, to expanded households, to the acquainted and precise whilst God is main us to 'cross forth' to revel in lifestyles will result in hardening, maybe hardening of the arteries or a center assault, or stroke or a few such factor. As a million John says, we'd like that boldness, that guarantee of who and what we're. And due to the fact that EVERYTHING is in opposition to that...the arena, the flesh, the satan, that's rough. But I feel of Lot's spouse. She honestly did not love her husband in comparison to the 'matters' in her lifestyles. Or she could had been with him, excited, inclined to be that 'helpmeet'.

The only way you're going to get into auditions is with an agent.
You're going to need headshots, demo reels, and SAG membership even for small roles. Agents definitely help too.
I suggest you stay in school and get a degree. Get as much experience as possible with training and stage and acting in student films. Then try submitting yourself for roles. www.actorsaccess.com www.backstage.com are great sites.
Good Luck

Hmmmm....nice question. It's really going to be hard because you live in a small town. You will definetely have to travel to LA(Los Angeles, California) and get some auditions there, there's some auditions there that are free, and some that aren't. Or why don't you try to find agencies online, get their address, and send them a video of you acting, or whatever that you do.
