I really want to break into acting. I have no experience but making home vidoeos and singing with my friends. I think I have an ok voice and I would really like to be on Hannah Montana as an extra or to have a small role. Where do I begin?

You begin where you are. Start by getting your parents' backing for your being an actor. You can't do anything without their approval until you are 18. Then you need lots of experience and training.

This question is asked a million times a day it seems. You don't just go from being a novice to being on a Disney show. You act in school plays and community theater and see what you can do there. Agents don't deal with minors and get their clients mostly from referrals. You need to have connections in the business. Honestly, stay in school and go for community theater, go to college eventually and major in theater arts and see where you are at that point. Most people never make the big time, trust me. And most are never able to secure agents either. Remember, agents need to know you are a money maker because that is how they make their money. I honestly wish I would see more questions that dealt with the real world instead of all the kids who want to be famous and get agents and be on Hannah Montana, or similar shows. There is more to life than getting an agent and being like Hannah Montana, a person who I guarantee will be forgotten within five years.

Do you have the drive to do this? Do you have that particular spark that will set you apart from all the rest? And, most importantly, are you only interested in fame and fortune? Or is acting something that is as necessary to you as breathing? If the answer to the last question is 'no' then consider doing something else with your life because, honestly, if you'll only be content with appearances on the red carpet at the Oscars, you're in for a world of hurt and disappointment. Most actors in this world 'get by' and are content with that. Less than 1% of the acting profession achieve anything like 'fame' - and it doesn't always make them happier (think of paparazzi camped outside your door, watching you eat in restaurants, chasing you along the road and campaigns of slander from newspapers and magazines who just take a dislike to the way you paint your toe-nails). 'Fame' is as much a burdon as a pleasure. So think carefully...

It helps if you take classes from a college specializing in the creative and performing arts. There is one in every large city that also has a film industry (NY, L.A., Toronto, etc). They have connections with the film industry and often have guest speakers come in as part of the curriculum. This is how you become known.
Here is a very reputable college in Toronto:

I have no idea the fondness grammatical terminology however the change appears to be: turns into identified: means that it isn't but a ancient occasion, however extra of a steady occasion that's nonetheless taking situation at that second in time. grew to be identified: does indicate that this is a ancient occasion. -- and no, grew to be identified can't maintain.
