just tell her and say you have wanted it for a long time. if she truly loves you she will support you and ask her for some help on finding roles (make sure you do not try out for the same ones, we do not want tension) Tell her you ahve wanted this for a while and tell her you are not copying her! good luck

Look for parts and rolls that are needed on the internet or go to Hollywood and try out!

Learn how to sell yourself on the streets! Hey, at least you would have an interesting E! True Hollywood Story!

I'm currently studying acting also. Depending on where you live, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a small local group to study and practice with. You'll probably be very surprised how much you'll gain from interacting with other people with the same interests and goals. Read local independent papers or check your local Craigslist or Learning Annex. And you'll also probably be surprised to find that acting is not nearly as easy as professional actors make it look.

Look for a part to play in and tell your cousin after you did it.

Just tell her you've always wanted to be an actress if this is the truth.
Anyhow you listen for auditions over the radio, read through magazines & newspapers for auditions, apply to get this newspaper Backstage West which is every actor's guide to auditions, and you can search the web.

perorming in plays or go to new york and try or broadway and tell you counsin to come and see it
