I would recommend acting classes, then talent shows, then auditions, then agents. You should always have 5-20 months of acting experience. Find a monologue and go over it. Try to memorize it by heart. Find your feelings. That is two practices for acting:
- Memorizing
and
- Facial(s)
I only went to acting classes for three weeks because I couldn't afford it because of time and money. Save your money and buy what you need. Good Luck!!!

autidition school plays!

To me, for a good start, you should just start talking normally. to ur close ones, like family or friends. show your face expressions, the way you talk, make it more dramatic, and the way how you want to act, eg. beggar ; president. from there, after you gained confidence, you should try to make your own show. to release all your stage frights. && ta-dah!! ur acting seems to be natural !!

Youtube? Myspace? Get some friends together who are interested in film making. That way everybody gets a little practice in. But acting school is still a real good idea.

Hi There....

Art is nothing but a dream ..

Film media is the stage for shades..if you have a fire to become an actress..Start doing this..not from Tomorrow ...From Now:)

Watch as many movies as possible ...Aim the characters ..carrying your interest.

First thing ..." Don't imitate any char..or don't get influenced by any char"

Try the shades...Now..your mirror is your cam...

Try shades..Like

Natural look

Expressive ( Eye play)

Romantic

Funny

Shock.......etc

Short and sweet imagine a situation and react to that situation exactly how you do in your real life..feel like its happening to you and it has happened..

Now its time to take participation in School level stage shows.

Try to be part of any stage show...never expect a lead char .
First be part of any stage show and day by day your stage fear will say bye to you..

Now if you are playing a lead char...just think you are in front of Mirror not in an auditorium..You will rock..

and now choose a film school...

Film school is just a medium...where we can see ..meet ...people like you and me..its like a world..

" You are the best actor/actress.....For the Film: Life"

Let me know if you have any questions.
