this is about acting and becomming an actress?

Question

ok i have no experience but i am going to get some like soon i am goin to an audition for a theatre for a play and im just going to do stuff like that and im 15 years old. i was thinking if i were to do that for about 2 years i would be good because i already think im pretty good at acting but then i would be 17 is that too old to start auditioning for like acutally films? Because someone told me it was? i dont think so because they say actors have been acting in films since they were very young , very young. so what do you think?

Answer 1

At least you know the right thing to do. Get lots of experience acting. Look around and see if there are any acting classes near you. Two years of experience is a good start IF you get two years' experience during the two years. 17 is not too old to start. People will say a lot of things to dissuade you. If you can stick with it, then you may have a chance.

Answer 2

I think 15 is old enough to hear the truth. You'll never be a famous actor. That's a silly dream. If you really want to be an actor you can. But you're very unlikely to ever make a living doing just that. You'll need another job. That's the reality. It's a lot of work and sacrifice. You need to want to act more than you want anything else. And I mean ACT not star in movies. Have realistic expectations and you're less likely to end up disappointed.
