OMG YOU PPL ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! You don't decide you want to be an actress, go to casting calls, and make it big. You need a headshot, you need an agent, and you need a resume to name a few. Start by doing plays in your community. They are free, and easy to get into. If you can't get in to those, you can't get into tv shows. Plus they look good on resume's. Then get an agent ( the person that finds auditions for you). This is the hard part. Find a reliable agency, and email them saying you want to become a casting professional. They are scarce, and most of the time don't want to add on another kid. If they are interested then they will contact you asking for your headshot ( a PROFESSIONAL pic of the shoulders up.) If you don't have one ur skrewed! So get one-or u don't have a chance. If they think you can make it, they will take u in. Then you wait. If an audition comes up, your agent will contact you with all of the information on it. It might be a movie, it might be a commercial, or it might be a tv show. You go try out, then wait some more. If you got the part, your agent will contact you, and give you everything you need, (Limo, money, directions, etc.) You don't just decide you want to be an actress, then go do it. It takes time, money, and MONEY. Headshots are expensive-so is the agent fee. But it is 100% worth it if you can make it. So good luck- maybe one day we can be in a movie together!! ;D

Be in high school plays, then go to college and major in theater.

go to open auditions (google that) and act as much as you can while you're still in high schhol. watch for events on the television stating that there are managers looking for actresses in or around you area. in atlanta, (where i'm from) there's one every month or so. also talk to your drama/acting teacher
