I need acting experience?

Question: I need acting experience!?

I'm 15 and never had any acting experience except when I was little in plays!. My 4th grade teacher was really into acting and he said I had a talent in it!. Now I would really like to get more into it, but the problem is I need a resume and I have no experience to put on it!. How do I start getting experience and how long will it take to get anywhere!? Do you think it's too late to start!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you want to dabble just to see what it's like, then go ahead and try to put a resume together with no experience and no training!. Good luck with that!.
If you want to give it a real shot, then forget the resume for a while until you are ready and start taking some classes and training first!. You can try and do some community theatre and extra work while you are studying!.
While you are studying also start trying to find out what acting and an acting career is all about!. If you really want to be successful, you will need to do a lot of work!. To do what is necessary, you will need a lot of passion!.

It depends on where you want to get!.
If you want to be the next child star, yes it is too late, you are 15!.
However, not to late to be an actor, best way to get experience is by auditioning for things!.
I would consider taking a drama class or two!.
Volunteer for high school and community theater!.
Get all the experience you can!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Community theater and acting classes will help build your resume!. :) Just make sure you work hard, because some directors call your previous directors for references!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

start with your school's drama club/acting class!.!.!.you won't need a resume, and it will give you some experience so you can put one together!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
