Help with starting acting career?

ACTING HELP..10pts to first good answer!?

  • alright, so im not completly sure what im asking so im just gonna go right into it. My name is natalie and im 15 years old...and in seven years, i'll be an alcoholic. Actually i wont but i felt the need to put that in there. ANYWAY, all my life i sorta acted in a way. Never in classes, just sorta by myself..i have an overactive imagination. haha. I make up random scenarios (usually tragic ones for some reason. haha.) and basically go along with it in my head. I guess thats not technically acting...its more role playingg then anything. I secretly always wanted to act in classes or something, but when i was little, i was insanely shy. Im not super outgoing these days or anything, but certainly not socially challenged like i was then. :P. SO im planning on taking acting classes starting next fall and throughtout that school year. This summer i think im going to record myself doing some monologues and post them on yuotube for some feedback. I really feel like i want acting as a career which doesnt make much sense considering i really havnt acted much. Recently, ive just been so interested in it, and film-making as well. The problem is, its like im scared to be bad at it. Barely practiced things out loud.. Mostly just in my head. I think im scared of being bad at acting...( i feel i should add that i DONT want to be famous. im acting to be an actress..NOT a celebrity) Not saying i have zero interest in being famous,...im meen, c'mon, im only human, and humans crave attention. Fame is NOT my strive for this though and at the end of the day, i value my privacy too much...Its like i have this intuition though inside me telling me to act. When i think about, its super exciting because i really do love it. Ive been trying to be the best me that i can be! (cheesy..i know:P) basically ive been getting better at oral presentations and talking to teachers/adults i dont know. my voice sometimes quivers when i give presentations though..how can i help taht? my face gets a little blotchy red too.. Luckily, i am 38479459x more better at presentations now then i was awhile ago. Help in any way you can whick any additional info! thank you!!!! 4 hours ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details i think the acting classes will help alot with talking infront of people too 4 hours ago

  • Answer:

    If your school has a drama or theatre class, you should take it and see if you like it! Its a lot of fun and it will give you a chance to try it out without paying for acting classes. I was in your shoes a few years ago.. I really wanted to try acting but was embarrassed for some reason. But now I've taken classes and am in drama at school and i am so glad I did because i fell in love with acting. My only regret is that I should have tried it sooner. Hope this helps(:

Well it sounds as though you don't have much self confidence to me. I think you should defo go to some acting classes as they will boost your confidance also they will help you deal with you slight stage fright issues. I desperatly want to be a singer and (like you I don't want to be a celeb) I took some singing classes and now I am much more confidant. So my answer is go for it and practice makes perfect Leah XX

first of all i kinda like you!! the alcoholic thing got me hooked :) haha, anyway, I'm same as you, I'm generally semi shy unless you know me, and I'm decent at presentations however I own at speech. I can rock a round.. Anyway join your speech team. I promise it will make all the difference! You can do one of the pure acting events I'd recommend DI or DDA which are dramatic presentations(also my second babies after DEC) :) uhhmmm it's good tyhat you practice in your head but you will never know how you sound until you speak it! and yeeaa you can try youtube but most people are trolls and will harrass you.. :/ yes acting classes are good and this may sound cheesey but who cares what people think? go up there and represent! try out for plays and rock presentations I mean the worst that could happen if your shirt pops open(happened to my friend..) then you will probably start laughing which will make it funny
