Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm a 12 year old girl who sings, acts, and dances and have had lead roles in lots of different plays and musicals but need help getting noticed. I need to know how to become more famous.

First ask yourself this.. are you acting and singing becauae you enjoy it or are you doing it just for fame? if your doing it just for fame you shouldn't look for any way to get noticed, because it will make you hate what you're doing and your career will end before it even starts.
if you're doing this because its what you enjoy find an agent and he/she will help you find jobs and that will rocket your career. Make sure you research the agent or company before you sign anything because there are creeps out there. Take a resume and picture of you with you to all casting calls and to your "agent" so they see what you're capable of and find a job you'll be good at.

actors talk, break a leg sweetie!

go to casting calls for tv shows

be in big plays... maybe agent will b there!

You're young and your voice is still developing. Just make sure you remember that.

Are there professional theatres around? Audition there.

It also depends on where you live.

Go try auditions or do a video in youtube.com! Good luck! :D

Get an Agent. =)

Things You’ll Need:

* Acting Classes
* Resumé software
* Resumé paper

Step 1:
Decide whether you want to be a professional actor (addressed here) or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on.

Step 2:
Move to a major city. Eventually, New York or Los Angeles will be your destination, but as you build your resumé of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities.

Step 3:
Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references.

Step 4:
Get a headshot (see "How to Get a Headshot," under Related eHows).

Step 5:
Compose a resumé of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays) from your resumé.

Step 6:
Send your headshot and resumé with a brief cover letter to all the casting directors and agents in your area. Follow up with postcards every four to six months, updating them on your current acting projects.

Step 7:
Read the trade papers regularly: "Backstage," "Dramalogue," "The Ross Reports" and "Variety," as well as online publications such as newenglandfilm.com, as appropriate. Know what is being cast where, and send headshots and notes directly to directors and producers whenever possible, requesting auditions.

Step 8:
Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important.

Step 9:
Persevere.
