Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Practice having conversations with imaginary people when you are alone to gain confidence and fluency in speaking!. Acting, like anything, takes practice!. You can find monologues on line!. Memorize and practice performing them when you're by yourself and then get someone close to you to watch and critique your performance!.

Read so you will have something to talk about!.

Try out for bit parts in community theater!. With limited time on stage, it will build your confidence in appearing before others!.

Finally, ask questions!. The one thing we know the most about is ourselves and therefore people are fairly conversant about themselves!. Ask questions and get people talking about themselves and you will not have to do as much talking!. You will also show interest in other people which is the key to friendships!. People don't like someone who doesn't listen or who only talks about himself!. also, when you listen, you learn different things!. You can observe idiocyncracies of the people speaking to you to store away for times when you are acting!. How do their faces look when they are trying not to cry!? When you suspect they are lying to you, are they looking at you or nervously looking around!. These are just examples, but the main thing is to listen and observe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First of all actors often have to be nude during their roles!. So I suggest being as nude as possible!. Church, Family reunions, marathons!. You should be naked at all times!. When someone informs you that you are naked and ruining their event or life you should take that as a chance to practice your acting!. "Sir, I could not be more clothed if that was possible" etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The thing about acting is about NOT about being yourself!. You have to get into character and be that character!. That is how you become a good actor!. Trust me, I was super shy, but when I got a Drama class in middle school, I really liked drama, and that is what I do!. I hope this helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

There's no magic spell to get you over your shyness, that's gotta come from you!. But i can tell you i used to be shy like you, then i discovered theater!. I loved being on stage in front of people entertaining them, making them laugh it was a great rush!. And i was so easy because i got to be someone else, and eventually It helped me with my shyness!. i am still an actor to this day and have been for the past 20 years!.

good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

You CANT be a shy actor, it wont go thats like being a best selling author who is illiterate, I am same age and doing same thing, break your comfort zone barrier i did and realised i was afraid of embarrasment and now i couldnt give a stuff!! People in my class embarras themselves all the time and we all think nothing of it becauseits not real its acting!Www@QuestionHome@Com

get out in public more, do a lot of extracirricular activities, answer more questions in school!. i had the same problem, but i found the more i talked to other people or did something that i enjoyed, it helps loosen you up and you feel more comfortable in front of people and talking to people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

wut you need to remember is some of those actors/actresses are shy too!. but when they get out there and act they put tht aside!. just try to act like theyre is nobody watching you besides your family!. and that you have to take chances if you wanna become a real actor in a movieWww@QuestionHome@Com
