Question: Where do I start with getting an acting career!?
I'm 24 and suddenly now have the acting bug!. Well to be fair I did at a young age but being a little chubby and badly bullied at school, I never thought I was good enough and never went for it!.
Now, I want to get into acting, mostly musical theatre as well as tv!. I'm pretty much an all-rounder!.
Thing is, am I too old now!? What should my first steps be!?
So far i'm taking dancing classes and singing lessons!. also enrolling for a creative drama class in September!.
Any advice would be most appreciated! :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, you're DEFINITELY not to old!!
Start off doing community plays!. Then get more and more experience from there!. Once you have enough experience, that is where an acting agent comes into play!. They will find auditions for you, and set you up with the audition!.
To get an agent, you need to type up a resume of all your acting experience/training, singing and dancing experience [if you have any], and any special talents you have!. Get some professional head shots taken, and then attach the resume to the back of the 8X10 head shot!. Send [mail it] it to all the agencies that you are interested in!. If you are lucky, you will get a call from an agency that wants to have an interview with you!. If they like you and your experience, they will sign you!. From there, it is all auditioning, preforming, and stuff like that!.
I hope I helped! :D
Good luck!
