A question about acting?

Question

I really want to get into acting. I'm pretty young and I was wondering if there is an age limit to how old you have to be. And any ideas on how I get started?

Answer 1

Ah, something I know a little bit about. Get involved in community theatre or local theatre. Audition for everything you can to get experience. Make sure you create a resume of your roles, and save any reviews. Make sure you keep in contact with your directors as you might need their recommendations at some point. You also should get a head shot, if you are looking to do this professionally.

I would also visit a local talent agency in the city you live in if it is available.

Answer 2

I did alot of acting when I was younger. It all began in middle school, I audtioned for the school play and made it. Then I joined my local theater at the age of fifteen and performed regularly. I did not ever get into acting for TV or movies. However to do so you have to find out about audtions and go try out. I reccomend taking an acting class as well. There is no age limmit really, look at Dakota Fanning.

Answer 3

There is no age limit to acting. You just need to audition for shows in your area or take a local acting class. There are books about acting, but they are pretty dry. Acting is better learned by getting up on your feet and doing it.

Answer 4

Join a local Theatre company and get some experienced in acting. The more experienced you have the best it will be when going for additions

Answer 6

join a theatre group, or school drama group. look for open auditions, go to them, its all a learning curve, it may take a long time to get to where you want but its worth it in the end.
