career in acting?

Question

hi, i was hoping to have a career in acting. im 14 and im goign to be a freshman in high school. i have been in school plays and acting clubs etc. its amazing. i really truely think it will make me happy, but after i get out of high school it will be a rollercoaster ride because i will have competition. does anyone know how i can possibly make it into some movies, and meet some film directors?

Answer 1

heyy i am in teh sammme situation, and trust me the entertainmet business is verry verry competitive.ok this is what i have done and it has really helped: i know its a really slow process but keep being involved in your musical theater and drama at school, (GIVES You Great Resume Builders), take lessons if your really serious, and then look into agencies. when you have an agent who represents you, you can get more auditions. (submitting your picture online will doo nothing!) I have been in musical theater since i was 9 and also i've been taking singing lessons, and dance, and blah blah i like to performe you know? well about a year ago, I joined a Kids Casting Company. Not exactly an agency but helps you get small jobs like extra work or featuredd parts. its really helped even though its jsut small little things, it really gets you into the business and see if you really like it. I love it personally and am hoping to further my career, (i'm 14) later and yeah so i've been on a few movies and stuff. But ok seriously stay involved in theater, its all bout who u know, like what if someday your theater director becomes a famous producer or director and goes hmm i need a boy, this age, ehh auditions will be too many kids, hey i know! i remember that kid from theater, he was really good! see what i mean its about who u know so if you kep up theater you could get noticed or spotted by agencies and stuf..later when your like really serious and want speaking roles you can join SAG screen actors guild which is like expensive but you are treated nicely, and have some more advantages. hope this helps, just like stay involved, you can always keep improving as an actor! (oh yeah, get a good college major in like drama or filmmaking or something, nyu has a good drama thing i heard)

Answer 2

To get experience, erform in as many of your school plays as you can. The more you perform. Anything related to show business will be a rollercoaster ride. It's part of the industry. You are NOT ready to meet directors. Like all of the thousands of want-to-be actors you have to take your time and auditon for roles that are right for you.
Most of the time those that want to be professional actors never make it, because it is a very difficult task.

Answer 3

Well, you have a better chance of getting acting jobs if you go to a college that has a really good theater program. It's never too early to be thinking of colleges. for example, Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia is wonderful for future actors and actresses. You may want to check out that school or a similar one. While you are in high school join Drama Club and get in your Drama Class. This will help you as well. Good luck!
