Question: What should I do from here!?
Well, I've never been in a drama class or anything like that, but after the summer I'm definately thinking of taking it!. But from my family members, I keep hearing that I can make a really good actor!. I guess they see it because I can impersonate other people really well, and show basically the exact emotion that they would!. I guess this skill comes from when I was little, I remember I had this little toy and I'd run around and impersonate different people, ie: a mob boss, a dragon, etc!.
So after I take drama and feel comfortable, what should be my next step!? Auditioning!? Preparing!? What to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're really serious, find out where classes are being held, and audit them!. What this means is that they will let you sit in and see what a class is like before you decide to take it!. Do you have community theaters where you are!? Get involved!. Find out when they have auditions and start going to them, or volunteer to help with them, so you can see how it's done!. If you are still in high school, get involved with the Speech and Drama Club ASAP, if your school has one!.
READ!. Find all the books you can about acting and auditioning and read like crazy!. AUDITION by Michael Shurtleff is one of the best about auditioning!. Find out if your favorite actor has written any books about acting, and if not, see if you can find out what THEY'VE been reading!.
If you are still really serious about this beyond the summer, you can even start checking out the colleges and universities where you can major in drama and theater arts!. New York has some of the best - Julliard and NYU's Tisch School For The Performing Arts are just two!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Follow your heart, learn rejection and go for it!.
If you don't you will regret it later on!. Take it from one who learned the hard way!.

You should definitely go for one audition and see how you like it!. If you do like it you can always take a class!. But don't make something you are unsure of your main goal or focus!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Go to a professional acting class it can't hurt!. But remember college should be your main goal, then acting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
