Do exactly what you're doing, but don't get too let down when it takes a while to secure a gig. All of the good ones got shot down hundreds of times before their break. Be confident!

get a video of yourself and post it on youtube

just keep doing what you are doing

join a mlm, make a ton of money than you can put your face on billboards across the country and be happy gl

red lot of book i don't no

ya do wat you doin... you doin a great job..

GO ON BIG BROTHER.. AND ACT A PRAT, WORKS EVERY TIME... JUST ASK JADE GOODY

Yes, get an agent! They are the one's that find the jobs for you. Just send them some pictures of yourself, if they like you they will probably have you come to their office and be your agent.

Well, if you want to do it fast you're going to need money. Agents are expensive, but will also get you places. I would recommend participating in plays (i don't know how old you are but school plays are always good). That'll get you experience to put on Resumes and applications.

Good Luck and Happy New Year!!

It will take time, and talent, and extreme persistence. You have to start with outrageous expectations to get any kind of out of the ordinary results, so just go hard. And dont think so much about the fame thing, it will happen when youve proved your self worthy.

kill yourself jus before you get famous and youll be known for ever

Well, first I would try to establish any connections you can. Whether it be through a director in a play or someone who can drive you to gigs and auditions. Getting famous is hard and it's hard to do it alone. I'd say take any opportunities that come your way and to get an agent, a good one. Not one that'll take your money. Remember, don't fall for modeling & acting agencies that'll ask for money. It's a scam! Getting famous takes luck, connections and a considerable amount of talent. You should keep building up your skills, do alot of musical theater, you never know if there will be someone there who'll notice you. I have been getting noticed by actors and directors and I've been asked to go work in DC this summer, where I will be paid and I am just an average person. If I can do it, you can.


Best wishes!

First, go to this site and check out all the famous people who are from Arkansas (including Johnny Cash)

You need to make yourself visible. Let others see you perform and ask for their opinion.

There are acting schools that you can attend to increase your acting skills and build confidence. I'm sure even Little Rock has them.

If you really think you are that good and everyone around you is telling you the same thing, you can spend your money on an agent.

However, the agent's goal is to get you work. When you make money so does he. Be prepared to show him a video of your acting,singing and dancing. The agent will give you a reality check of whether you are "star" material.

I have a cousin in Calif. who is an agent. He won't even see anyone who has not yet been in a major play, commerical or tv show.

First - Don't give up your dream of what you want to accomplish.

You need to get into every talent contest you can find. When you see an add for open auditions, be the first in line. Next time try out for American Idol. You also may need to get to New York or Los Angeles for more exposure for your career. You would have a better chance at performing in a play in New York than where you live right now.

I'm not knocking Arkansas, but you have to admit it's not the entertainment capitol.

Remember, don't give up your dream.

Good luck

Many talk shows, like Oprah have an armature week... get on as many of them as you can.

yes and you can move to l.a. if you want

Be outrageous. Being famous has nothing to do with talent. There is something in you that is different and special. Find out what it is.

Do what you love and love what you do. That comes first, out of that the commitment is there and the underlying joy communicates itself to others. Follow the steps placed in front of you.

im thirteen and i want the exact same thing, well what you have to do is get your self out there, try and get as many gigs as you can, also post a video on you tube of you singing, also go to a theater school and get lessons, youll put on shows pretty soon big shows that people pay alot to see, also try amaricas got talent or if your older american idol shows like that

If I understand your question, I would be remiss if i didn't tell you that if you want to be "Famous",you're definatly doing it for the wrong-ALL the wrong reasons.No one who's serious about the work is trying to be famous. That either happens(and mostly doesn't)all by itself. You're setting yourself up for a whole lot of disappointment and heartache if you think being famous will make you happy.
Can you say,"Brittany Spears?"
I knew you could!

Same thing I told the other one

Rob a bank

Blow up a big building

Pay a press agent $5,000 a week to get you into the tabloids like Paris Hilton did.

"The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a [dump]." - Banksy
