i agree that you have to work your way up starting with the more menial jobs and then progressing, to make the most money.  BUT if you are fairly good looking you should apply to be a face character.  i know a girl who is cruella de ville and a guy who is aladdin and they LOVE IT.  all you have to do is walk around and play with kids all day pretty much.  it does require some basic acting skills, but other than that its fun and easy and starting pay is anywhere from 10-20$ an hour.  call d-land for more details and ask them when the next audition is.  they are strict on the face characters "looking the part", as in being the right height, stature, facial structure, etc...but don't worry too much because lets say you're pretty short and cute and think you could be alice from alice in wonderland but you have brown hair and brown eyes...they have wigs and color contacts and elaborate makeup and all that!

No you don't.  BUT acting in the drama club will help.    Go ahead a join the Drama club if your school offers one!  \n\nGood luck on your acting career

I wish i new what state your in. I could get a good agent for you. Check your local paper for ads looking for extra's. But beware of some agents. A good agent will except pictures from a reg camera taken by a friend. If they want you to pay for 8x10's? Be careful. You want to make money. Not put it out. So start as an extra. You have to be willing to work long hours though. Hard work pays off. The more exposure you get in front of a directors camera the better.  Three important things to remember though when starting out. 1. Can't be shy. 2. Never be late. 3. Have to be able to take direction. As you go along you will expererience bad days and good days. But you have to be willing to want it bad enough. And as an extra your agent will send you out on go see's and auditions. Some start out and find that acting is not for them. I had acting in me since i was young and worked my way up the ladder. It payed off for me. Good luck to you.\nSigned: Part-time actress.

Before you give anyone your money look into the school and the history that they have of turning out pro wrestlers.  That way you can get a good idea of what your chances are,  As for the acting part i dont belive that to be a big part.  But you will need to have a good charism and a personalty to go along with it\n\nNEver give up on your dream

Keep checking their websites to find out when and where they will be holding auditions. Good luck. \n\nWhen you become a big star don't forget who help you get started.

You will need to submit a "tryout".\nHe will need to show his stuff in a movie.  It can be homemade and saved as mpeg.  Then submit to any number of the companies in the industry.  You should be able to get a list via the internet search engines.\nIf he's got it and they are interested they'll contact him.\nIt would help if he had some action shots.  If you are so inclined to help him out then who knows maybe it will be your new career!\n\nGood luck.

You can kick butt at 14 if you apply yourself correctly. GO FOR IT!

Sure. It's never too late to have a career in TV or media at 52.  Why don't you look in the paper? At least look in the ads and see what they have to offer. If you have the experience, you're fine. But you might have to start at a entry- or lower-level position.  Some might offer training. But you might expect a lot of rejections.

Do you know the way to San Jose?\nI've been away so long, I've lost my way.\nL.A. is a great big freeway, put a hundred down and buy a car.\nIn a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star.\nWeeks turn into years, \nAnd all the stars, who never were, are parking cars or pumpin' gas. (Bert Bacharach / Dionne Warwick)\n\nWait until you finish highschool, take drama classes, act in about 20 amateur plays, get your teeth straightened, finish a few years of college, prove to yourself  that you can have small goals and accomplish them.  Take MORE drama lessons, and singing, and dance, and get acting roles in your own city....\nThen go to Los Angeles.

I would start with taking some acting classes and getting to know people in the business. There are books out with the names of Agents that you can buy and you can also read some online magazines that deal with the proffession. Good luck, sweetie. Oh, and most agents usually wait to get paid when you get an acting job and they take a certain percentage, but I don't know what it is. And, if you get famous, drop me an email so I know it's you and that you made it. Break a leg, kiddo. Tina, Texas

Unless your a natural - your best bet is to taking acting lessons - Improv is a good start - I loved me Improv class -It was a lot of fun - be prepared to make a fool of yourself though

Well, looking at your name, you want to be one of the actors there soo... \n\nTry to know when auditions will be open for a role sometime. I saw some new Wendy Wu show, that might work.\n\nStay updated, check on their website. \n\nAnd ask your parents to help you through this.\n\nGood luck!

It depends on what kind of acting you're trying to get into and how much experience you have.  Most actors get work in their own communitites or go through a talent agency to get different jobs.  Places like L.A. and New York are going to afford you more opportunities to work in acting because they're bigger citites, but opportunity doesn't always equal actually getting a job.  \n\nIf you're serious about acting professionally look around your area for people who will be knowledgeable about it.  Check colleges, community theatre groups, and credible talent agencies near you in order to get yourself better informed.

first u need to move to florida ao u are available for a lot of casting calls. You need to go and get some head shots done so you can bring them with you. You also need a very supportive family to bring you to the auditions. There is no easy route to success. You will probably be turned down hundreds of times but if you want it that badly, you will stick with it.

If you're just starting out, more than likely no reputable agency will pick you up quite yet. You need to get some experience under your belt first. Try going to starzcasting.com. You can search casting calls there and also find some good info on starting out in modeling. Good luck!
