Please help.

Answer 1

Talent, you've either got it or you don't, if not don't waste your time.
The ability to work long and hard at what you want to do is as important, if you have talent (at whatever) it will not be a struggle, more like winning in a really tough game/sport.
Good idea to learn all the basics well so you know what you're talking about: English, History and all the others. Also do drama and get involved with the Footlights etc.

Answer 2

You need to get hired to do an acting job. Go to an audition, try out and get a part. After a certain amount of work you will need an agent but that could be years down the road or not happen at all. Taking some speaking classes, stage movement classes, singing, dancing will help out. But in the end it's all about being at the right place at the right time and meeting the right people. Even with a degree in theater you could find yourself with out a job.
