I want to become an actress, but how do I start?

Basically, to make a start as an actor, you'd need to - 1) Have loads of natural talent. 2) Get a few years of training at a good, accredited acting school, going from the basic classes to advanced ones. 3) Get experience in a wide range of stage plays and shows – not regular high school stuff 4) Learn to sing and dance if possible. 5) Train for a good ordinary job as well, one you can work free-lance, as you’ll need it. Almost all actors work at least one other job just to survive. 6) Ideally study Drama at degree-level at drama school or university. 7) After all the above, try to find an agent who will accept you. 8) When you get an agent, which is how you find auditions, try to win a few auditions out of the hundreds you'll have to apply for. Just bear in mind that all that hard work isn't enough - you also need huge talent, dedication, determination, resilience and luck. Modelling isn't going to help - and you'd go down in the opinions of almost all acting professionals if they thought you were interested in modelling - most models are not too bright and narcissistic. And sadly, the best that almost all actors will ever get is 2 or 3 weeks paid acting work a year - that's the average - and will never get more than a few minor roles in small productions. If you really want to try, get into a good acting school - but do understand that training and gaining experience takes many years - and by the time you'd be ready for an agent you'll be an adult anyway, so your parents' input will matter far less.

Hello! I also aspire to be an actress, I've read a lot of these blog posts, and I think that this could be very helpful to you: http://www.backstage.com/advice-for-actors/secret-agent-man/?page=8 I recommend to get yourself noticed by important people such as agents, managers, and casting directors is that you do some theatre, and then go to a showcase because there will be lots of these important people there. Good luck! :)

I recommend you leak a sex tape to the press. I mean it worked for all those other chicks and got them publicity.
