OK. but so do a million others just like you. There are no good links. Nothing you can do to practice except be in plays at school, church and in the communityl The first essential info you need is that you can do nothing without your parents full support until you are 18. The second essential you need is that it takes years of experience and training to become and actor and even then there may not be any jobs, the market is so overcrowded. Knowling a second language is no more important in acting than if any other field. there is little you can learn on line. go to myactingcareerstartup,com and read everything there.

I'd suggest getting an agent or joining an agency. I'd also suggest getting experience in that field, such as getting a job as an extra if you want to work in television etc. Jobs are extras are pretty easy to find, even on google, and if you find an agency that is well known and trusted they'll help you with auditions for extra jobs, and possibly more.
Other than that you just need the motivation, the ability... and the right decisions for the right reasons. Don't become an actress if you want to be famous, many don't.
Learning a language could help but I wouldn't count on it, I personally wouldn't say it was needed... unless you were searching especially for foreign films or something of that sort.
If you don't have the money to take on an agency then audition for local plays and build up a CV of some sort- this could help you when auditioning for parts or for a theater school.
I hope I helped. Break a leg!

I would start by taking classes. In school or from a local community college or group. Or audition for as much as possible. Whether it's the school show or a local theatre troupe or for TV and movies. The only way to improve is to practice. I would also recommend going for speech team and do things like Humor interp. or Drama interp. or Oraltorical Interp. All of those are ways to take a scene and make it your own and a speech coach or drama teacher coah you on the way to act out those scenes. And even the people who work the hardest can never become Great actresses. they have to have some natural talent. Just wanting to be is not enough in acting you have to have talent and drive.

I LOVE questions like these!!
Well my moms boss is training to be a district attorney.... and anyways....
I was recently almost scammed but a website called "star search Casting" so i would no recommend any on-line classes.
First, get some training, go to or (( if you don't already have one, )) start a drama club in school. If you can not do this, try to find acting school in your local area.
Then, After (( maybe years )) of training, go to an audition. (( try to find a legit site with open casting calls. plz research this site, before you do anything. to help avoid scams )) start off small, commercial. and build your way up. Once you have reached where you want to go, ask for an agent. (( plz note that an agent doesn't get paid, he (( or she )) gets a percentage of your pay )) so you HAVE to get jobs, roles, etc. or you wont have an agent, because if you don't get paid, neither do they.
So good luck, and i hope i helped!!!
Hopefully a future Actress: <3 Becca

That was a career that I had considered one time. Try going online and finding acting skools that are near u and apply to the skools. Try to get financial aid so you can go and they can pay, if you dont have the money to pay for it. Also it would be easier if you lived in NYC or California were they do a lot of auditions. That way u have experience and when u go for an audition, they r more likely to give u the role.
