how to you become a kid actress?PLEASE TELL ME!!?

Answer 1

You have to have the full support of your parents first of all. They have to be willing to drop everything and move you to Los Angeles at least 4 months out of the year (pilot season - Jan through April). They also have to be willing to spend their life savings on living expenses, photos, gas, acting classes, etc.

Then you have to get an agent, go on auditions, and compete with thousands of other child actors and hope to be the one who's right for the part. You can start close to home, but eventually most people figure out that they need to make the move.

If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.)

Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview.

Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. You can also see if your state has a film alliance. Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre, you can go to backstage.com or http://www.actorsequity.org/castingcall/... If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying.

For your part, you have to be committed to lots of hard work. You have to do your best in classes and on interviews. You also have to keep your grades up. They don't issue entertainment work permits to you unless your teacher and schol say it's ok and they won't do that if your grades are no good. If you want it bad enough and take rejection and keep going...

Good luck!
