Since you are only 5'4 I would stick to acting!. I'm 11 and I am 5'3 so you are a little on the short side!.

Well, I was in that position once to but now I am doing commercials and a couple of photo shoots, but to get there first you have to have a work permit because you are probably under the age of 18 so print this fill it out and mail it to: ( It's okay if you don't live in California )

2031 Howe Avenue, Suite 100

As you are only 5'4" I would recommend sticking with acting!. The modeling industry barely likes 5'8" people now!. The taller the better!.
If you really want to act I would say invest in acting classes now while you are young and still in school!. The when you can move somewhere like CA and try to get in the business!. Your acting classes will help you!.

The instructor may also be able to lead you to someone in your town who can help you now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Start by taking some acting classes!. This is will get you really comfortable with acting and you will learn the techniques of acting!. Usually the place that you take acting classes at offers a "showcase" after taking a certain amount of classes through that school!. A showcase is where agents come (you will need a agent to get you auditions) and you audition for them!. If they like you they call you back and you can sign with them! From then on they represent you and they get you out on auditions!. Agents don't cost anything and if they do it is a scam!. Agents make their money by taking a small percentage out of what you make!. =] Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
