I need an acting carrer!

I was your age a few years ago and I was doing the same desperate search of trying to get into a film, TV show, etc.

*The best thing to do at first, is to join a DRAMA GROUP(classes/community plays, etc that you can attend during the weekend or something. Drama in school also helps)
Not only will you pick up experience and improve your self confidence / performance skills, you can also develop a portfolio/resume, which you can show to directors and producers later for when you are auditioning

*After a while of attending acting classes/courses, and you are more confident etc, go for an audition. All the time, there are tafe/university students looking for actors for there short films, there are directors of community plays looking for performers, Get in contact with them. A good place to find auditions are on the net, such as the web page outlined below:

Most of these auditions can get you into volunteer acting parts in short films / plays etc. This gets you relevent experience. From there, see if you can join an agency for proffessional work etc.

Not all actors with proffesional careers take this way, but this these are the steps that I have independantly been taking and it is working well so far. Remember to always be dedicated. My parents didn't support the idea of me being an actor but I knew acting is what I like. I have been doing well at it and now they actually support it. Money was also a problem for getting into courses/classes etc. If your dedicated enough, try to get a job to help you out. Even proffessional actors often have other jobs to support themselves. Remember to NEVER GIVE UP and ACT for the PASSION (if you like it) - not just for money and fame.


So, you have read my life story on how I'm going to get into my acting career, Hope this helps !
