Question: Any actors, or actresses!?!?!? I need acting tips!!?
Here is how it goes!.!.!. i was a filmmaker, about a year ago!. My family still thinks I am still into it, when I am not! I want to be an actress, but I havent had any acting expierience!. It is kind of embarrasing , but I usually act to myself! I look in front of the mirror and act out parts in movies, or make up my own little skits!.!.!. How can i get started with REAL acting!?!?!? I get stage fright, but my mum says I always do a wonderful performance! So does my teacher!. I shake when I get in front of people, but my mum, dad and techer said I have a loud, clear voice, enthusiasm, and always have great presentations!.!.!. it feels like I am an actress at heart!.!.!. How do I get started!? Where!? Acting tips would help!
I guess Orlando bloom really introduced it to me, but I tried it once, and LOVED it!

Always go all at!. Don't worry about making a fool of yourself!. also always remember action/reaction!. Whenever something happens onstage give your own honest reaction!. Find some auditions for local theater companies and go for it!. My advice to you is to get as much experience as you canWww@QuestionHome@Com

Completely be yourself!. If you are a little nervous, don't try too hard to cover it up or they will see right through it!. Try to stand out it some way!. If you mess up, the worst thing you can do is say, no-wait, or ummmm, just roll with your mistake and keep going!.

p!.s good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

better get into a lot of school plays and maybe some speech classes!. if you are an effective actor you will not shake, because you will be too busy acting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1)I would audition for local theaters and get into that!. It will help you get familiar with the basics of the industry!.
2) To get on tv shows, you will mostly need a agent to tell you when and where auditions are!.
3) Audition for a competition that a talent scout is hosting!. Normally if you get called back there will be workshops before you compete and you will learn about the industry by agents, casting directors, models, and actors themselves!.
4) One casting director told me that to really get a job in the buisness, you have to live in those major cities will all of the major jobs!.
5)Look in the news paper, sometimes stores will have local commercial shootings and/or runways(actors might want to get a feel of the model life and vise versa)
