I would like to try acting, but how do I start?

Question

Before you say don't do it for the money, I'm 12 going on 13 so getting money isn't really a big problem for me. I'm thinking about starting an acting class because I have basically no experiance [just REAL small parts in plays until third grade] and seeing how good I am and if I really like acting, maybe trying out for small roles too [commercails or more likely community plays ] but what else should I do? just that? try acting classes and then work up? I have to get experiance because I'm a little insecure about not being talented enough or having the experiance so..... what should I do?

Answer 1

Yeah, much more likely community theatre and SCHOOL because there are rarely roles for youngsters your age in community theatre. Commercials are the best roles for actors, not the easiest to get. I think you should mature a few years. Acting isn't something you try, except as a hobby, It is a life long committment to hard work.

Answer 2

Easy! First you should audition for a role in a Movie, If you get YYYaaa, If you dont then keep auditioning for roles. Thats how mily ciris got started and look at her now, shes a diva

Answer 3

have a father or mother for you to do that with you,then take appearing categories and do institution drama categories and performs. going to institution isn't a demand to be an actor. if you have be taught find out how to audition you'll begin watching for open name auditions for nearby theater and pupil and ind. movies. their well for enjoy and your resume.
