You keep asking the same thing and only slightly changing the words. The answer is the same. YOU ARE NOT READY TO ACT PROFESSIONALLY! END OF STORY! You live in florida not LA, you have no training, you have no knowledge whatsoever about the industry, you have no experience. That means....YOU HAVE NO CHANCE! You've never acted for real before. (Elementary school plays don't mean anything) You are just assuming you're great at it. I've told you this same thing before, if you want to be an actor you'll have to have some respect for what actors do.

Do you want to be a movie star or work as a performer and actor?
If the later is the case then take up drama courses, persue your English course work, have singing lessons, join an acting group and live and breathe your craft for the next few years.
If you want to be a movie star then start the therapy now.

start reading and studying more advanced works. If a child actor can understand the language of Shakespeare, Marlowe and even Moliere (pending the translation), he can really get ahead. Classical acting is dying off because so many playwrights, colleges and troupes find contemporary acting to be easier. The classics are where to go! If you can understand a playwright like Beckett, you'll be fine. CHeck out "Waiting for Godot".

go to Acting Career Start Up on line and read it all. Don't buy the book unless you are sure you want to. Acting is very little of what has to be done to have a career. Most of an actor's time is spent looking for work. Good luck.

Take a few lessons (trust me, they will help, even if the kid has experience and is already good), maybe read some books on acting (I recommend "Sanford Meisner on Acting". It's very cheap on eBay), and audition!
If he is serious about acting (and doesn't just want to be rich and meet celebrities), then it's great to start young and get as much exposure as possible.

a neighbour used to go stage school full time.. when i was her age.. we were both kids about (its 24 years ago.lol).. a PROPER well known one..
if you contact them, they might be of help, but you can do acting school part time i think..
i do remember the girl next door though, she was hmm 3 years younger than me and acted very mature.. was strange in a way. kids should be kids sometimes..
if she wants to do it, fair enough, just don't be a pushy parent.

Keep working hard. Do frequent searches on the internet to see if there are any local auditions coming up or look in you local newspaper.

try getting headshots for now. life as an actor is hard, but as soon as you get discovered you get loaded. get the headshots now, so it will be easier as an adult if you are already discoverd. also the acting bussiness is tough, but if you are good and as talented as you say you are, you should do good.
i hate how most people act for the fame and fortune and not the pleasure.
