Unknown wasted talents??

Question

Im the type of person who likes to try new things, but never gets time to because of trying to keep AB honor roll in highschool with advanced classes. Im a quick learner, and most of the stuff i do stands out. But my mom refuses to help me out as far as going to acting school, or tap school, or singing school. She supports me in whatever I do, and she tells me she will sign me up for a class or whatever. But shes always too busy and we never get a chance. Ive grown more depressed just thinking about things I could be doing. Its all so interesting to me. Nothing else seems right if Im not drawing, painting, dancing, singing, or acting. I just want to learn to do it right. Because the only talent I have is natural, and what I watch from movies and old movie classics (the best).

How do I get ahead in the performance arts areas as far as commercials, and modeling, and acting??? I feel lost and on my own.

Answer 1

As an aspiring voice actor, I'm trying to learn the tips of the trade.

Be Warned: I'm not going to sugarcoat this, this is going to require a lot of hard work for getting into acting.

First of all your going to need to take some acting classes, then if you feel your good enough you want to go to any casting auditions for your local theatre group. Trust me, there are theatre groups that always perform plays or anything in your area.

Second, seek out a professional to help you record an on-screen demo.

Three, seek an agency.

Four, I guess that's all there is to it.

Answer 2

I may not be in the industry but I can tell you this.

If you LOVE the performance arts and have both passion and talent, you have nothing to worry about.

Lucas York Black, a highly acclaimed actor who did a riveting performance in Crazy In Alabama, had NEVER been to acting classes. In fact, he got picked just because he was good.

All you have to do is find out what you're good at. Get some friends who have natural artistic sense to help you understand your talent. If your mom can't sign you up for classes, see if you can find some way to go on your own.
What kind of actor are you? Comedic? Dramatic?
How well do you sing? What style?
What kind of looks can you sport for modeling?
Compile your drawings and paintings into a portfolio.
Go for every audition that you think you might just make it into and compile works of your successes (i.e. DVDs of any dramas you might star in etc.)
And most importantly, DON'T GIVE UP! You're fighting with tons of people for what you want but as long as you have passion and the necessary talent, you'll get there. Just keep trying.

All the best.

P.S. If possible, please don't sell out just to get a part. There are many respected professionals who kept their respect.
