start auditioning for school plays...
the directors who do movies and tv shows are looking for people with experience... so the best thing to do is gain experience. Also you need to have the right talent for doing movies... some people have more talent for the stage than for the movies... So anyway to increase your chances of ever being cast in a movie you need to take some lessons... like just take drama as a elective or even join a theatre troupe.

As an actor I find that attitude quite offensive to my profession. Thats the equivalent of me saying "How do I operate on somebody when I have no experience with the medical profession".
You can't just decide to be an actor one day because it looks "fun". It is something that will take a lot of hard work, perseverance and dedication, and above that it is a craft that has to be learned. It's one thing having "talent" but you need training in order to gain the technique required to be an actor.
You are still at school and young so I don't want to appear unduly harsh, but it is so tiring when people assume that acting is just something you can do because you fancy it. Like any job you have to work for it.
However I remember being in school and wondering how to become an actor and the advice I would give you is this:
Do as many school plays as you can and see as many theatrical performances as you can, and start building up a knowledge of the profession. When you are older you can train properly which I would highly recommend. Above all be realistic- 90% of actors are out of work at any given time. You have to prepared for lots of rejection and be willing to start small.
I feel like this has all been negative which was not my intention, so let me end on a more positive note: If you are truly commited then you will never give up on this, and hopefully you will achieve the success you want. Work hard, be resiliant and good luck

Be prepared. There must be some local theatres around you with acting classes and workshops. You don't need experience, but do know that being in a movie is a lot of tough work and not all of it is fun. You can't just like acting, you have to be believable. Look up some monologues and recite them to yourself. Do you really sound dramatic? Sad? Angry?
And also, be at the audition early. The director or manager will see that you're taking this seriously.

You must live in a city where movies are made.
Take acting classes! Audition for your school plays. If you want to be in the movie industry you must prepare your acting craft by taking lessons, there is no way around it.
Working on a movie is not fun, neither is working on a television show. The days are long and tedious.

Film directors and casting directors often enjoy using fresh faces, not seen before by the public. But being cast without experience, while it has been done, is less likely than being hit by lightning.
Audition for school plays, community theatre, etc. Get some experience and learn a few things about the craft. You sound young. You have a lifetime ahead of you to develop your tools (voice, body movement, range, etc.) and learn how to use them. Then plan your career goals, and go for it!
