And you think you don't have months to rehearse for a stage performance? I love acting. I love acting more than...well anything. Yeah, you may be shy performing infront of people...but you know the more you perform infront of people, the better you become. I used to be the same. Until I started Drama in school, I was scared to perfom on stage. And now, in College, I still get nervous before I go on stage. But the nerves give you an adrenaline boost and in my experience, it makes you better.

Most professional actors went to Drama School and started out on the stage. People like Matthew Broderick. He started out on the stage. Now look at him!

If you want to pursue a career in Acting, my advice is to go to an acting school. Trust me.

What are you asking? I'm not getting it.

Do you know how many people there are on a movie set?

I think you have also exaggerated how many can fit into a theatre at any one time. However, if you can't act in front of an audience while on stage then you can not act in front of the camera.

I'm amazed and do not understand just where it is you're getting your information. I do suggest you continue with schooling - search out drama schools and participate in them and as you get older you will soon realise that acting is not easy whether that be on set or on stage.

You do have much to learn and only going through the 'normal' processes that you'll appreciate your choosen career path.

Good luck.

So, you want to be in a movie despite having no performance experience or training. I suppose it's possible. Good luck with that.

Actually that's not true. Local stage is not especially high budget and you have weeks to work on the role and blocking.

Films cost per minute. It costs $300 a minitue just to run film. And you can't reuse it if a take is blown.

It's $300 just to slate a scene

Then there is the labor costs so a film is actually costing $2,000 to $3,000 per minute whether you shoot or not.

So you're mistakes waste time, cost money and can get scenes dropped.

Plus there are 100 people on the set all looking at you.

I'm sorry, but nearly all great movie stars started out on a little stage at school. With a film there are still loads of people watching and you still have to know all your words perfect because every take relies on loads and loads of lighting people, camera people etc and if you mess up they have to reposition everything and start again which is a big pain for them. The more plays on stage you are in, then the more confident you'll get so just do the drama school like everyone else.

I'm sorry but honestly if you can't perform in front of people I don't know if you can be an actress. :/
