I'm laying it all on the table..i want to become an actress?

Question:don't judge me please. i'm in high school and i have no idea wat i want to do. i've been thinking about acting but i have never acted. i think it would be fun. it's a fast pace life and that's want i want. i know this is terrible but I'm gonna say it..i think it would be awesome to be famous. what should i do?
i'm thinking about getting a bachelor's then move out to CA and learn how to act at a playhouse. some people have told me to become a comedian and they say i would be a good actress. I'm not afraid to be the center of attention like actors are lots of times. I'm skeptical about this and I want to know if I should at least try. I don't want to screw up my life. i'll know it's be hard but it's possible right? i try hard at everything i do. I'm afraid though. I'm so scared of failure. so tell me what you think, please and thank you.

1. You think acting is fun? Well, professional acting is hard work, not the acting itself, but geting a job is hard. IT is not glamorous when you are working and being famous is the pits as you have no privacy and not private life. If you are afraid of failure acting is not for you, because all actor fail a lot before they are a success. If you are at the least skeptical about it, acting is not for you.

baby, im going to tell you how it is. I've been in the performance industry all my life.. basically since birth.. both of my parents met up in juliard .. my father who attended for his career in music. (he plays the violin) my mother the self confident, succsessful, broadway actress. so she pulled my in as soon as i was able to speak.. and honey its not all you think it is.. why am i not famous? why? ive been dancing, singing, acting, and learning several languages for almost 17 years of my life.. and im not famous. i am an attention getting whore... and thats not all it takes to be an actress. suree it looks glamorous (and it is) from your point of view.. i guess gve it a shot.. im ging to be blunt.. u wont see the side that you think u will. ive been through countless agencies and innumerable performances.. all over new yorkk.. and seen millions of other girls who talk just liek you and its pathetic.. it disgusts me. if u want to be famous and rich win teh lottery.. marry a rich computer software engineer.. idk.. acting isn;t a "get in easy and fast" card for succsess.

Everyone is afraid of failure. It's possible, someone has to succeed. But be aware of the sacrifices involved. If you are falling into acting because you don't know what you want to do (as you say) that is a bad idea. If you are seriously thinking about moving from home with no preparation then don't. You need more than just people's goodwill to succeed. Real acting classes from a good coach is almost vital. You wouldn't consider becoming a beautician without learning that trade, don't think of becoming an actress without learning the tools of the trade

If you love acting that much than do it.

first i would take classes just to see if you like it for a year and if you do, go for andything is possible with hard work and dedication!
