HeyI'm 13 and I know there is a LOT of teens out there that want to act is much as me, but all of us cant act, so i think whoever is really intrested in acting like me should be the ones to succed. If anyone can help us get satrted then PLEASE do. And im not sure if i have to pay to act ina film, but i hope not. I'm sure that most of us dont have a lot of money. If i did recive enough money i would by my family a new house!

No superstar is going to read this page, trust me.

If you want an acting role, then try getting an agent (boy, I've written this a few times already), go to some classes, meet a lot of people, go to shows (actors generally hang out afterwards), and subscribe to sites like QuietOnSet and Arts Hub. You can also get my ezine, The Prompt Copy, which is for free and has only paid work in it.

I am only trying to point out that there are a lot of mistakes you can make out there, and many of them can lead to you wasting your time and your money, by being involved in shoddy people and/or productions (and there are a lot of people out there who are shoddy). You shouldn't go into these things, wanting to do it professionally, and not consider important stuff like: who pays for the show, whether you have insurance in case of accidents, etc. I am a professional theatre worker, and even in the professional world, many people do not discuss these things.

If you really want to do it, then go out and do it, but don't post your resume here... Theatre is not in your computer.
