firstly you need to get experience - google your local area and see what it comes up with to find local theatres. get involved with local groups and any school plays you can - even ushering for a theatre will give you information.
there are several magazines out there that post audition notices but the only one the public can get is The Stage. you have to be careful with it because it's not all legit, but it'll give you an idea about what is happening out there in the business and maybe you'll find some work in there too. stay away from agencies - they're just a scam - and don't do extra work - you'll get known as just being an extra.
once you're 18 audition for drama schools - they'll teach you everything you need to know (and there's a lot to learn!) and help you get an agent. then it's up to the agent to get you work!
good luck

Samee here!!im 13 also and i have stuff booked..
ok well look around for theaters, schools
well actually my mom did the stuff but start looking on
the computer for plays around your area and then once you do at least a couple plays you sign up for lessons and since you had those couple plays that will be your source, so you will get great acting lessons!! but the people who said move to L.A are mostly right.. the way i told you it will take couple of years but if you move to New York, L.A, California
then just start crazy auditioning and if you lucky you will land
the smallest part then gradually start growing.. i hope that helped.. its unfair these days.. most actresses or actors are part of a famous family tree, like famous relatives haha
i only know one famous person..my moms friends daughter was in SpiderMan 3, and got me an agent because they knew her.. haha
so i hope this helped. GOOD LUCK!!! (i love acting) ahaha

Well if there's no drama club/performances at your school then the first thing you need to do is Google.
Look for amateur dramatics groups, youth theatre projects and kids theatre schools (there used to be acting classes on a Saturday in our local leisure centre).
Go to your local library and look through the "cultural" leaflets or try the council website to see if there's anything theatrical going on near you. It's probably a bit late for this year, but you could try auditioning for local pantos.
Good luck!

You dont move to LA and you dont put stuff on youtube. Since you are only 13, you cannot do any professional work without your parents' consent. So the way to get into it is to convince them that is what you should do and have them help you do it.

the problem is that holly wood wants mostly hot actors, although they want some skill. there are acting programs, schools. there are afterschool programs where you can learn to to this stuff
