You're pretty young!.!.!.so here is a suggestion on how to gain experience:

1) Start acting by yourself- I'm sure you have a mirror SOMEWHERE in your house!. Try emotions in the mirror!. Act sad, then happy, then angry, then scared!. After a while try using lines!. When delivering lines, try connecting those lines to personal experiences!.

2) Get involved- Try out for community and/or school plays!. Of course, you may start off as a chorus or a small part but that's a good place to start!. You'll get to know what it feels like to be on stage without having to do something that could embarass you on your first time on stage!. (Stage fright)!. After a while, you'll get a lot better and you'll be familiarized with the feeling on a stage!. In most cases, the better you are, the bigger part you'll get!. I said in most cases because sometimes the part just won't be right for you no matter how good you are!.

3) Build a resume- List down all the experience you've had and create a resume!. Try to get a headshot (which could range from $50 to about $200 depending on where you go) Try Craigslist!.org

Well, there's your experience!. And a resume WITH a headshot makes your experiences look even better!.

First, get your family support!. Perform! In every possible play you can!. You also have to identify a style that you want!. A person, group, or company that really make you think "I want to do that"!. Find a way to practice with their technique, practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way!. Make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy!. Being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like!. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish!. Welcome! Best of luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

ask your parents for some acting classes!.
