How do I start an acting career when I'm still in High School?
Q. I'm a seventeen year old high school student and I am extremely interested in becoming an actress. I took an Acting Workshop class at my school two years ago and I got a 90% A and the teacher said I have "Stage Precense". I've been interested in Acting as a career since I was five or six years old. So, my question is this: What should I do to pursue a career in acting? I live on Long Island (close to NYC). Should I print up a resume now and take headshots after February (when I get my braces off) and then go on auditions over the summer? My aunt says I should go to college, which I want to, but I want to make sure I've exhausted every effort to become an actress first. So should I take a year off to pursue acting and then go to college? [cont.]

A. You should go to college, but there are performing arts schools. Or while your in college, check out if there are any local productions or the theatre club. There is a way to get your education and be an actress and I'm sure many of the performing arts schools will give you the foundation to get your career off the ground.

Any ideas for acting out a movie in 10 minutes?
Q. I have a midtern for my intro to acting class, we have to act out a movie in ten minutes. The thing is me and my group are totally stumpted. Can anyone think of a movie that would be easy to act with two girls and two guys? Girls can play boys and vice versa. We were thinking a comedy or action. Preferably something not too difficult to understand. Nothing lame, something recent. We also don't want to do something that's already been done. Such as zoolander, wedding crashers, 40 virgin, those are just some of the past. My group is desperate, and if anyone can think of anything it would be greatly appreciated.

How can I get better and better at acting besides acting classes and joining local plays?
Q. I mean, is there a way that you could practice acting alone in your house everyday. Because unlike singing, sports or playing an instrument which you could practice and train everyday with the right tools to become the best in that certain field, acting is different. How do you train yourself in acting so you can become the best in it? And is it just subjective, meaning other factors like the roles given to you, the emotional depth of the roles given to you, natural talent and your personality affect how your being good at acting is determined?

A. This is such a huge question. Here's what I think: Everything you do in your life adds to you being an actor. Every skill you have, every experience you have... is what you bring to your characters. So, you are "practicing" everyday if you are paying attention. Your tools are basically your voice, your body and your brain. So push yourself to expand those all the time. And yes, acting is totally subjective. You will never be able to control whether other people think you are "good" or not... might as well stop trying. Every actor who you consider to be "good" or even the best... has been fired from one job or another. The key? YOU have to believe you're good. YOU have to know that you are the best you can be. So, do what you… [cont.]

After u guys act out part of the script, u can ask the other person what u could do to make it more "believable". and keep practicing!

How to persue an acting and singing career?

A. That's awsome that your doing all ur school plays and everything, so keep that up. Some steps you need to take would be getting your headshots, and then finding an agent. Some acting schools bring in agents to search for talent, or there are now development centers that can help you find an agent. The agent will send you to auditions with casting directors and hopefully they will hire you. Then you just pretty much try your best to work your way up from there. As for singing, a few musicians have gotten discovered by making demo tapes and sending them to record companies. You really just want to sing anywhere you can get a gig, anywhere anyone will see you- its always a new chance to be discovered, such as school plays, talents shows,… [cont.]

Is voiceover acting something you have to be naturally good at ?
Q. Would you say that voiceover acting is something you have to just be naturally good at, or is it something anyone can grow to become good at? I'm trying to do some voiceovers for something I'm doing, I don't particularly want to since I don't talk a lot anyways, but do you think it would get much easier the more you try? Thanks. Peter.

A. You heard wrong. Agents don't sign people who want to be actors. You need to have several years of training and experience before you can get a legitimate agent. If you have not taken acting classes and have not been cast in leading roles in school and community theater for a few years, no agent is even going to look at you. You get an agent after you have experience and are willing to move to LA or NY to advance your career.

Asked by ??? - Wed Jun 11 04:25:21 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Reliable talent (acting) agencies are usually SAG/AFTRA affiliated or franchised. You can check for SAG franchised agents here: They also take a commission (10-20%) of what you make on jobs. They shouldn't charge you any upfront fees or require you to use their photographers/classes, although they can recommend some. Here is a complete list of agents in Oklahoma: These are agents I'd recommend: Visit their websites and do a background check with Better Business Bureau. Then follow submission guidelines or send in headshot & resume. Good luck! Hope I helped! Tip: Don't go with John Robert Powers or John Casablancas. They charge huge upfront fees and don't get you anywhere. (Scams!)

A. Age isn't as big a barrier as it used to be in acting and other careers. Hardly anyone considers 33 to be "old" nowadays, except perhaps for certain roles. There are some women in their 50s who are still very sexy and attractive. Tell her to pursue her dreams.

A. You do not need one based on who else they turned out. You need to make a list of questions that are important to you, make some copies of that quiestionnaire, then make some phone calls. Ask who the teachers are, where they received their training, what their practical experience is, what class you would be placed in, do they allow auditing (can you take a free class to see if you like it), etc. Whether they teach a specific method, if you have to sign a contract locking you into a certain amount of time... stuff like that. Call several studios and whoever gives you answers you like, try them out. From what you've described it sounds like you should be in Speech & Debate in HS. That will help you get over some of your issues. … [cont.]

A. Train, train, train, act, act, act. Enrol in courses, take theatre after high school full-time (NOTE: do not go to a college/university for a theatre degree; move to one of the "big cities" like NYC or LA and enrol at Stella Adler or the Neighborhood Playhouse or TVI, etc) for a FULL-TIME program. Get an agent, audition, and pray that you get the role. Meanwhile, do a lot of community theatre. I am 24 years old and a former aspiring actor. I wanted to do nothing else besides acting from the age of 4 to 19 years old. I majored in Drama at college. But, then I realized that it is extremely difficult to earn a living as an actor, so I switched majors, earned a business degree, and became a teacher. You can try acting for a while (gi [cont.]

A. Florida Atlantic is not bad, and U Miami. Also, U Miami has a program where students at the school go to work at a (big) professional theatre nearby. (Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre in Coral Gables.)
