expireince can be a play, it doesnt HAVE to be professional, even though it's a good idea to get that kind of expireince!. but honestly if you have extremely good talant, you can make it!.

You could start with doing plays at school or a local theater!. and taking whatever drama classes your school offers!. also, if there are places that offer paid acting classes you could ask about scholarships or a payment plan!. I do advise against going somewhere like John Casablancas or John Roberts Powers, as it will be a LOT of money wasted!. And yes, most agents do want you to have some acting experience!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
