Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It doesn't sound to me like you want to act as much as you want to be a comedian!. I think that you may find yourself frustrated if you try to go into theatre acting, but you should try it!. Just know that that is not the only outlet for you!. You're in Maine!? You really need to find Improv classes and/or an Improv troop!. There must be one!.!.!. or create one!. You need an outlet that will support your comedic and physical humor!. You may find in formal acting classes that your comedy talents are views as disruptive and not serious enough!.!.!. Other than that, here is what I am going to highly recommend for you to do!. Study stand up comedy video tapes!. Study all different styles, there are country boys and african americans and depressed Jews and frustrated Catholics and fat ladies and guys that dress like girls and all that!.!.!. study stand up routines!. And put together your own routine!. Understand that these professionals don't just go up there and make that stuff up!. They have written those jokes and tested them on friends and family and put them all together into a show that flows together and sometimes even tells a story!. Write a stand up show!. Practice it on your friends!. Then, when you have it the way you like it, try to do a performance somewhere, or video tape it and put it on YouTube!. If you don't do great at 13, don't let it discourage you!.!.!. you have a lot of years to keep getting better! Www@QuestionHome@Com School first and if they don't have a program then Community theater!. I knew I was funny at age 6!. I then went on the be voted the funniest girl in my senior class!. I'm 51 now and still funny!. Some people are just born this way!. I think in funny thoughts but you have to know when to be funny and when to hold your tongue!. Take it from me! It can get you trouble from time to time so watch yourself!. You are a joy to your family I'm sure!. I loved to make my parents laugh!.
