It depends on ,one, your phisycal features!. Do you look as developed as a 14 year old!? also, how big or small can you change your voice to fit any part!. A LOT of it depends on the play so research other showings of the play to see how other actors did it!. Do the play your most interested in and have fun with it! It depends on how you ACT not how you look!. Hope I helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, hopefully you'll be able to grow a little bit since there is still some teenage years left!. But, depending on what your voice pitch, you could go as a child as young as maybe 8-9 but you could still probably audition for anything you'd want and hope you can get it!

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You being short doesn't really matter as long as your good at what you do, I'm really tall and sometimes I get a part and they have to find a tall guy for me!.!.!.but I dont really see where you will have a problem, it might even help because they will be able to cast you as a child!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the question is NOT how short u r but how old you look!. if u look younger than 13 go for the 9-12 group, if you look ur age go for the 13-15 group, if you look 16 go for the 16-19 group!. ur agent should answer any questions you have, good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
