I have been dying to get into the acting biz, but don't know how, so, can an

Question:Now, I would prefer if somebody who is actually in the show biz to answer this, but really anybody who knows how would be a big help, oh, and i really don't want any of that "oh, just keep trying and work hard" crap, cause it takes more than that, but other than that, anything would help.

First off, you're not going to get anywhere if you don't get some experience. Acting/Dancing/Singing classes are a good start. You start to get some talent under your belt, and grow your confidence. Plus, if after about a year of classes if you realize you really don't like it, it'll be easier for you to back out. Since you didn't say where you live, I'll suggest you look online or ask your friends at school where they take classes.

Once you've had some training, you need to start building your resume. Do Community Theater, act in your school play, get in some student films, etc. You'll want to do as many productions as possible.

After you've got a good resume built up, you'll need to get an agent by sending in a headshot and a copy of your resume. Use this to help:

As you can see, you're going to need to spend at least two years (At the VERY least. Usually you'll need three to four.) building yourself up. You'll want to make sure this is what you really want to do before you start getting into this.

Also, you should NEVER have to pay for anything when it comes to getting an agent. If an agent tells you to take special classes from them or a website asks for a credit card number, that is a red flag that it is a scam. A legit agency would instead get you jobs and when you get paid, take a percentage of your check.

Good luck in whatever you do.

i love acting and took it for a while so you should go to classes to get proffesional help then get an agent and go to many auditions as possible! if you get possitive feed back then take that and dont change anything but if negative feed back from the auditions then just work on what they told you and try again! good luck!
