Wow! You just have the wrong attitude to be an actor - yes ACTOR - it works for both males and females.

Why are you being so angry and rude? The people who answered above have not said anything incorrect. In fact, answerer #2 has been very patient with you - much more than I would have been.

You need to lose the ego, adjust your attitude, find some manners, and learn how to communicate (and use some punctuation). But since you are 12, hopefully, you will find time to do all these things.

You are not going to impress anyone the way you're going, least of all a director. Heaven forbid they give you any constructive criticism - or try to give you direction. With the attitude you currently have, you're not going to last in this business, unless you follow #2's advice and work on those things that so very clearly need work.

First, when you start auditioning, you will get rejected, people wont care about your 'amazing smile' or that it has been your dream. So, drop the ego, please.

Second, being and actress/actor is NOT about the money. Weather you get it or spend it. People only care if your talented, nobody cares what you do with your money.

Third, you start by getting an agent. Your agent will get you auditions.

Good luck with that, but remember that its a dog eat dog world and rejection will happen no matter how 'awesome' of an actress you are.

Edit:

You're really stupid, you know that right?
You're whole paragraph made no sense at all. We weren't even talking about the world, but its not every man and women for himself.
I'm probably older then you (I'm not eight, but you might be), and I know people in the entertainment business, so I can 'know it all'.

And you can't give that attitude to anyone in the business, no matter how angry they make you.

So, stop being so ignorant and listen to someone who is more experienced, for once in your life.

In the world of acting, it is NOT every man or woman for themselves as you have stated. I'm sure you've heard the expression, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." So you will want to be very careful how you present yourself and how you speak to others - because you never know where your next opportunity is going to come from. It's called networking.

Casting directors and directors want to find actors who not only fit the roles and have the talent to pull them off well, but are also pleasant to work with.

I'm concerned about how you handled yourself in response to the person who answered above. She had some very good things to say... you are going to get rejected, it's inevitable. It happens to every actor no matter how good you are. But it is the grace in which you respond to rejection and even criticism which will determine whether you are going to be a great actor or not.

You did not react with grace. You were quite rude and disrespectful when you read something you may not have wanted to hear. No director is going to want to work with an actor who is so defensive and rolls their eyes and is downright insulting.

Every actor, no matter how accomplished, has something they need improvement on. And those actors who are always searching for ways to be better are the ones that are successful. I think you now know at least one thing that can be improved.

All actors also need to have a strong grasp of the English language, an excellent vocabulary, and the ability to communicate and express ideas clearly. Your question was rather muddled and contained no punctuation or capitalization. It is not clear what information you are seeking. However, as good an actor as you believe you are, without knowing you or seeing you on stage, I can already see places where you could work on to make yourself more marketable.

***Edit***
In the "real world" you need to be careful how you present yourself and how you treat people. It's the same thing with any line of work - you never know where your next opportunity will come from. It's still called networking.

Why did you decide to ask a question on here, if you're not interested in hearing the answer?

Nothing has changed - you've still resorted to name calling and being rude. I'm telling you directors will not tolerate that kind of behavior. And there is still no evidence you have a very good handle on the English language - you are not very clear when trying to get your ideas and points across. It is also difficult to read what you write when there are no punctuation or capitalization.

I am not saying these things to bash you. I am honestly trying to help you out. You asked where to start, because you want to be an actress, we're telling you that you need to start by behaving in a manner that will make people want to work with you.

You should also know that the term "actor" is used for both genders. It has actually become the preferred term for many actresses who are serious about acting.

Do you want answers, or do you want to brag?

Acting is not about attitude or superiority. Acting is about humility. There will always be someone who is better, more experienced and better looking than you. Always. The sooner you learn this, in your bones, the happier you will be.

Your question seems to be less about "how do I act?" than "how do I get PAID to act?".

Act. Just Act. Ars Gratia Artis. If you are any good at it, the money will follow.
