• Answer:

  For myself, getting started was as easy as joining a local little theatre. I'm not sure how available they are in Canada, so I'm not sure my answer will help. Being involved in a local theater, not only do you get a chance to be around others with talent, you learn what goes on behind stage. If you make the move to LA, expect to starve. They don't call them starving artist for nothing. A girl that grew up with my children, did exactly what you are wanting to do. She worked in the restaurant business and worked FOR FREE in local theaters until she thought she had what it took to break into acting, it has taken her 12 years. She is now in New York and in line for a Paying part in a play. You have to get out there and see if you have what it takes to make a move, like thousands have before you. Oh and by the way, I didn't start until I was 47. I wish you all the luck in the world, you'll need it.
