what could a 13 year old kid with talent, knowlage to learn quick ,and is funny become a famous person?

Answer 1

Hi,

Some years ago when I played American football in college, we were on the practice field at the end of August right when the new school year started. It was hot and we sweated our butts off! To get to the practice field we had to walk across campus and our college mates were out playing Frisbee. The girls were laying out in the sun. The guys were drinking beer and laughing and having a good time. And what were we doing? We were going to put on our equipment in 95° heat and go out and practice for three hours.

You can imagine that in that kind of heat, practice was hard. Sometimes we wanted to rest or get a drink of water, but we couldn’t. Our coach saw that we were tired and wanted to rest and it was always at those moments in the middle of practice when he would call us all in, tell us to take our helmets off and “take a knee”. He used to tell us a lot of things during those little speeches of his. One thing that he always used to tell us was, “Men, when it’s too hot for the other teams, it will be just right for us.” Something else that he used to tell us was, “Men, if you’re out here practicing in this menacing heat, you gotta love it.”

First and foremost you gotta love acting or singing or whatever you want to do. If the reason you are doing it is to become famous, then I would strongly advise you to seek out some other field. I know that this and the other answers you received might be difficult to digest, but it’s all good advice.

Your first priority as an actor, should be to learn the craft and try to be as good as you can be and not just rely on what other people are telling you and on your own sensations. They might be correct, but let you teacher, your really good teacher give you some feedback instead.

Another time, when I was in college in my sophomore year, I was trying to decide what to major in. What I really loved was languages, but I thought that I should really major in business administration, because that’s where the money would be, but I didn't like it enough to make it my major. I talked to a professor in whom I could confide and told him that I was undecided. He told me to do first and foremost what I was most passionate about and be as good at it as I possibly can at it. He told me that if I did that, then the money would come and fame too, if that’s what you want.. He said that one day I would be thankful that I chose to do something that I really love to do. And you know what? He was right.

It's important to know what it really means to be a working actor. Maybe you already know. I don't have much information about you other than what you wrote.

Here are some of the issues that actors face before they even get close to working as an actor:

*New to show business and just seem to be wallowing around to find out what you should be doing to get started in the right way!

*Not being sent out on many auditions.

*Rarely getting called back.

*No agent and not sure how to get one.

*Not many industry contacts and can’t seem to meet that industry professional I would really like to meet.

*Difficult to balance work and the demands of an acting career.

*Able to book jobs, but not always able to keep them and don't know why.

*Sending out materials—audition tapes, headshots, and résumés—but not getting the types of responses you would like or none at all!

*Don’t have the money to take classes, so just taking a workshop every now and again instead of going to a school or regular classes. It’s been the situation for months. Maybe even years.

*Having difficulty getting off work for auditions, because the boss doesn’t support employees' acting careers!

*Difficult to prepare well for auditions, because of work. Either too tired or just not enough time in the day to work on your acting career!

*Have to work at a club or restaurant or in a job they don't like until the wee hours of the morning and end up going into auditions looking and feeling like a zombie.

*Having to work at a job that robs them of valuable time they could be using to spend on developing their acting career, auditioning or something else.

*Don't have the cash to make a show-reel or audition tape, get headshots.

*Not sure how to choose a headshot photographer!

*"Don't know how on earth it's possible to make a résumé, if I don’t have anything to put on it! How on earth can I start an acting career!"

There are certainly more of these issues, but this my friend is the reality. I certainly don't want to rain on your parade, but rather to help you understand that you need in my opinion four things that will help you get started so that one day you will have a good chance of getting work as an actor and then MAYBE get to be famous.

Knowing that many, many, many young actors and even older ones have the same issues and hearing about them over and over again, and knowing that I had the same issues not long ago, I decided to create a resource for this same group of people. It takes you through four critical and crucial steps that I consistently see actors overlook and skip, because they’re too impatient and want to jump in right away instead of first creating the base. For actors who think they have their priorities in order, but believe that the real goal is something other than to be a brilliant actor, to be the best actor they can be.

I say all this to let you know, something that you already know which is that there will be a lot of things to do before you get there. You will need clarity of what you really want and for you, why being famous is so important to you, motivation, determination, thick skin, a method of planning, business skills and you will need to see how these things can actually bring success when you interact and hear the stories of other actors, working actors.

Here is a free resource that you are welcome to download from my website. It's a 28-page ebooklet called: What It Takes To Become An Actor. It will help you to see some of the things you need to do to get started. Just go to http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/acs-blog.html , sign in and you can download it for free.

After all this, you need to study, study, study. I would advise you to get information about the different techniques that there are and then choose one. Here is some other information that can help you in choosing classes and schools and to learn more about the different techniques there are:

One last thing. Don’t disregard all the other types of acting possibilities there are:
Film, television, theater are the obvious ones. There is also hosting, industrials, commercials, commercial print, student films, independent films, spokesperson. They can help you to get your feet wet and help you get started.
Community theater, extra work, student films and commercial print work can all help you to get your feet wet, while you’re studying.

I hope this gives you some insight and I hope to have made you think. Unless you get lucky, becoming famous can be several years out, if it ever happens at all. Statistics say that it probably won't. If you are an exceptional person, then you can make it happen, but will come with a price and sacrifice.

Study, learn, be the best actor that you can be and enjoy it; each and every moment of it. If you become famous, I’ll be happy for you. If you don’t, be happy for yourself that you did something that you really loved and enjoyed. If you don't think you can do that, then you might want to think again about what it is you really want.

Best of luck!

Answer 2

... And I gave him a 'thumbs up'!

Seriously though, at 13, the world's really your oyster. There are far more opportunities for breaking into acting and singing than there were when I was that age.

Rather than looking upon a career in showbusiness as a way of becoming 'famous', I suggest you enrol in some performing arts classes first. The experts will soon be able to tell you if you have what it takes. Who knows, you could very well be the next winner of the X Factor ... five years along the line!!!

Good luck and go for it!

Answer 3

I wish I knew at your age what I'm about to tell you. People who have big dreams are the least successful in the world. You have to align your expectations with reality. If you try to do something big you'll almost always fail. Almost everyone else who tries does. Also realize that no one is special. Everyone has to follow the same rules. Anything you want must be earned. If you want to be a performer you can certainly be one. Being a famous one is not going to happen.
Set your sights on more realistic goals and you can achieve them. Dream of being something you can't be or doing things that you can't do and you'll be miserable for the rest of your life.
