Question: I want to become an actress, help!?
I don't have any experience really, I'm fourteen years old and all I've done is a play in 5th grade!. I did get a lead role but it was so long ago and I wouldn't remember the basics!. I have the looks, and I really want it, but I'm a little tight on the money aspect!. I know I need experience and then get an agent but if there's any other way to succeed it would really help to know!. I don't have any connections so basically I'm in a hopeless situation!. I have other talents as I'm really good at sports, specifically lacrosse and I'm almost positive I could get a lacrosse scholarship to college, but I really want to become an actress!.What do I do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Their are always low budget student and amateur film makers looking for people to be in their movies!.

Just don't expect to get paid or win any awards but it's great experience and you never know maybe the film maker is a genius and comes up with a great film!. also try and find out if their are any local theater groups you could get involved in!.

Make sure you parents are involved in any projects you do so you don't get scammed into doing something stupid!.

After High School Apply to a colleges that have recognized drama departments!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As I've never pursued my dream of becoming a film actress, I don't really know about the process of getting involved in such things!.

However, since you enjoy acting, I would suggest doing plays!. Check your local newspaper and look for audition notices for the nearby community theatre companies!. Community theatre is easier to get into than professional theatre!. Then, after you've had some experience, you could try auditioning for a high-class, professional company!. After you've gotten some acting experience, you'll know if you really enjoy acting!. You will also have more confidence to pursue your dream!.

Good luck to you!Www@QuestionHome@Com
