How to become an actress, is it better to start young?

How do i become an actress/model i am tweleve and i dont know were to start help me plzz?

  • Answer:

    I'm twelve years old, and act on screen professionally. First of all, you need to get trained. Do theatre classes, screen classes, vocal lessons, any type of things that will help you. Secondly, get a head shot and resume. A head shot for someone your age can just be a nice picture of your shoulders upwards with a blank background and no make up. A resume is a document that lists your height, weight, name, etc., as well as your acting experiences. This is where the training ties in. Next you need to get an agent. On Google, search 'Talent Agencies in *YOUR AREA*'. There's always at least a few talent agencies almost everywhere. Email them - if they like you then they'll arrange a meeting. After, if they want to be your agent, do this: Try and find some of your own parts. Your agent will give you parts, but if there's a website that lists auditions in your area, do auditions for student films and small things like that to add to your resume. And that's it! Do NOT expect to be a star - but keep trying! Be prepared for rejection as well, you need to develop hard skin for the acting industry! Hope this helped!

I want to as well, an i am like exactly the same as you- 12, 5 foot 4 inches- but it turns out you need an agent. :'( if yoou get an acting/modeling agent, they can find positions open that would fit you. good luck!

A good way to start is by looking up local modelling agencies near where you live and applying. You need a parent permission though.
