Competition only makes us fiercer. So practice practice practice. Who cares if your brother ends up being better than you if his following your footsteps made you better than everyone else? Besides, he's your brother. Be happy for him - plus, you have someone close to you in the same field that you can give each other tips and help each other to succeed together.

Competition can be good or bad, but it doesn't need to exist at all. If you're more worried about your brother than developing your own skills - you may be in the wrong profession. Instead of letting this be a barrier between you, why don't you both use it to hone your skills. You seem to have a great opportunity here to practice your skills on someone that understands the career path you've chosen.
Why not use this as an opportunity to become closer to your brother, and not as a wedge to drive you farther apart. You will always find people that are more skilled than you are. Your job is to become the best you can be - learning from everyone around you to master your craft to the best of your abilities. Stop worrying about the competition and focus on being the best actor you can be.
Good Luck!

Be happy for him if he is good, and keep on practicing the more you practice the better you get. Competition is normal, and it should make you a better actress as well, because now you have the drive to be better. Just don't hate him if he is good, diffuse the jealousy into harder work from you instead of hatred and regret for your brother. When you are grownups you will laugh about it, maybe he can help you out and you guys can practice drama together and it may just bring you closer.

Be happy he wants to be involved. Might be a great way you two can connect together.
But I understand the jealousy. My girlfriend is 20 times better at acting than I'll ever be. I remember just after one reading at an audition we both went for, I sat there and after processing all the jealousy, I suddenly had this stunner of a realization. I realized that she made me look incredibly good up there.
This nutty thing we do called acting is in so many ways a very giving activity. It needs to be.
Give support to your brother, and it will be repaid to you in ways you may not realize at this moment.

It's normal for there to be competition, especially in such a business! Instead of trying to hurt eachother, help improve your talents give advice to him and he will to you. You might want to see him fail so you can suceed, but really would you be happy seing him like that? Also at the end of the day the director picks who he wants to be in his production and also he is a boy you cant both go for the same parts anyway!!
Try to be supportive of eachother!
Good Day!

I have a somewhat similar problem to you... :(
My little brother ALWAYS gets the attention and now he wants to act too.
You and your brother won't compete for the same parts, so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle!! I know that sounds annoying, but you can't not let him act just because you want to.. Imagine how you'd feel! Try asking him for advice (e.g. "Does this monologue sound right to you?", ect.) and he'll do the same for you. It might even bring you closer together!

Your competition isnt with your brother, it is with girls your age. How can your brother be a girl if the part called for a girl? Look at your strengths and value them. He probably casts great for a man. You cannot possibly cast great for a man, right? So be proud of your brother and better yourself as a female actor.

It's totally normal, AND...what you should do is encourage him. You're his sister and you know more about this than he does because you've been involved longer. You can be supportive...which will make him support you, too. If you two are overly competitive, it will do nothing but damage your relationship...and it WILL bleed over into your performances. Conversely, supporting each other will bring you closer and improve performances. You can practice together, too!

Be glad for his talents, and focus on being the best you can be at your acting. "Better" is relative. Sometimes you'll do better than he will, and other times he'll do better than you will. Feeling competitive is normal, but don't let it take over your life or your enjoyment of theater - especially since this is your brother.
