How do I become an actress?

I am a 14 year old girl and I am very pretty.
I have a decent voice, have danced for 4 years in jazz, ballet and hip hop. I have been in all my school plays in middle school, took drama as an elective and have been in acting camps and classes.
I haven't the faintest idea how to really get started.
Do I just go audition somewhere? Even IF I got into the.. say... peanut butter comercial.. I am not really getting anywhere am I?
How do I find out about auditions? How can I increase my chances?
Help?
I am not trying to sound concieted or anything... I just thought it could help?
I know some people do modeling as well to get started but I really have no idea how to start anything. :\
Sorry lol
I live in Florida

Keep auditioning for plays at your local community theatre, school, even church. Here are some auditioning tips from an actor's handbook (online.) You should appear confident, but not cocky , smile, take deep breaths, and stare over the directors head. They want someone who looks happy go lucky and easy to work with: someone who can comprehend directions well, who is patient and goodhearted as well as talented.
Personality is what I’m looking for more than anything else. Even before I’m thinking can this person act? I’m thinking does this person have energy? Do I like them? Do they seem intelligent? Are they warm, are they funny? These qualities will inform their work as an actor, and Colour their performance. Christine King It often happens that two or more actors are in contention for a role and the decision-makers can’t pick between them. Almost always, the final decision favors the actor who’s considered to have the most desirable personality. Equally as often, actors are ruled out, regardless of their talent, because of unwanted personality traits. Therefore, if not the most important thing in getting work, your personality is the ingredient that will clinch the deal. Here are some tips for you:

• KNOW YOURSELF a common personality trait in successful actors is a confidence that comes with knowing and being comfortable with who they are. Get to know yourself. Highlight the positives in your personality and work on the negatives. But don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. On the other hand, you don’t have to be an open book. In an industry so full of exposure, it certainly doesn’t hurt to leave some mystery about you!

• BE OPEN Doing your job as an actor means being open to other people’s ideas and suggestions. Don’t be set in stone with your opinions and the way you do things. Successful actors adapt to circumstances. Being open to other people also means that they will like you and want to work with you again. However, don’t be a pushover – stick to your convictions when appropriate.

• GET ALONG To have the kind of relationships you need to move ahead means you have to possess certain social skills. Really, this just means being able to get along with people. But it can’t be stressed enough, in order to rise through the ranks of the acting profession you have to be considerate towards the people you’re working with. In other words, be nice. You really do get back what you give out in this industry.

• BE POSITIVE People in the industry want to work with actors who are positive, enthusiastic and constructive. No one wants to work with someone who doesn’t like the script or is disinterested in the project or is argumentative. Even if a project doesn’t thrill you, at least be positive about doing your own best work on it. Many actors have become instant hits on (and made hits of) projects they thought would flop.

• HAVE FUN Actors who succeed in the business enjoy what they do and are enjoyable to work with. Of course, that doesn’t mean you have to be the on-set clown or the prankster, but it will help you to get along if you enjoy the work and the people around you. Actors who obviously take pleasure in their work are far more likely to be hired again than those who find a role (or a part of the job) a chore or, worse still, beneath them. So chill out and have fun.

• BE SMART One quality that people in the industry regard highly in actors is intelligence. However, they’re not really interested in your academic ability as much as your ability to make smart choices, analyze scripts, take direction, understand human emotions and communicate confidently with people at all levels of the industry. Naturally, it always pays to use common sense when it comes to matters of your career and dealing with people.

• BE INTERESTING Industry people are drawn to actors who are interesting. That’s not to say you should be a walking encyclopedia. Get out there and experience life. It will not only help you to be more interesting, but will also give you more to draw on as an actor and more to contribute to a project. Interesting people are also interested in what other people have to say. Listen to others and be interested.

• HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR Acting is a tough business and you’ll have to treat your career seriously in order to do well. But don’t take it all too seriously. Sending itself up is something the industry does often, perhaps as a form of therapy. Try approaching your career with similar humor. An ability to laugh at yourself throughout the difficulties, harshness and absurdities of the profession will serve you well.

• BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Aspects of the profession can be harsh and every actor experiences times of self-doubt. Even the most successful actors feel this sometimes. Know that this feeling is normal and will pass. Do whatever it takes to re-kindle your passion for acting and your belief in yourself. Some actors recommend taking up a short course or joining a community theatre group to help rebuild confidence.

• CARE ABOUT THE JOB Be excited about every project you work on and the part you play in it. People in the industry love working with actors who are as excited about their projects and the characters in them as they are. The person who gets the job is often the person who is the most excited about the overall vision of the show and the role they wish to play. Love the project and your character and the casting people will love you.

• DO YOUR HOMEWORK Getting the role is largely about ‘getting’ the character, ‘getting’ the overall vision of the production, and ‘getting on a level’ with the director. Do your homework on every character you play, every show you’re in and every director you work with. Quite simply, the more consideration you give to each of these, the greater your chances of getting the job.

Be discovered, look for showcases! It depends where you live.
In my place, my mom figured out this Showcase (Modeling & Talent) on a newspaper. She got me enrolled in it. When you win or get recommended, you get to compete in IMTA (International Modeling and Talent Association). That's how Katie Holems, Eva Longoria, Ashton Kutcher, and many famous people, got discovered :)

Um, super conceited much?

Get noticed by a producer, and you're good. Also, an agent or agency wouldn't be bad to have. They can find you auditions and you go, if you're good enough (which you probably aren't) then you'll get the part, but there's no guarantee of a future.

Good luck with the dream every girl who thinks she's cute has.

Just wait till you get a little bit older, the real world will crush your dreams.

Answered By: Al W - 7/21/2008
You find out about auditions by looking in the "Arts" section of your Sunday paper, or in the local paper - in Louisville we have the Leo and Velocity, I don't know what they have where you live. The tricky part is that there just isn't a huge market for fourteen-year-olds - you're getting old to be a child, but too young to play adult roles. Get involved in your high school's theatre department, do whatever you can locally, and get as much experience as possible. If you get lucky and an audition for something more notable comes close enough that your parents are willing to take you, that's fabulous! If that doesn't happen, build up your resume, then talk with your parents about how to proceed (looking into an agent, deciding if or where you're willing to travel, etc.)

Go to auditions, or you can go through modeling agencies, i went through one about three years ago i dont have the name rigth off the bat but when i think of it ill tell you, they come to houston all the time, and you go to auditions and act out a commercial they give it to you and you get a call back, then you have to do a fund raiser to raise money to go to ny and when you go theyll let you walk around and if an agent likes you she'll or he'll pick you, good luck(: try to go get a portfolio made!

Answered By: Joyce the spaz - 7/21/2008
Yes! you should start auditioning! dont be afraid! i guess you should check at local news papers cuz sometimes there is information for auditioning.
i think u should watch all of those reality shows like America's next top model or anything alike cuz there you can also learn tips in your performance.
i definitely advise you to go to an acting academy... i bet your dancer friends know which is the best in wherever you live.
at the beggining you might have to start in yeah peanut butter, maybe even a tampons commercial... dont be discouraged do it your best every time cuz u never know when somebody influential is gonna be watching.

if you really dont find anywhere to audition try going to an studio and ask there for information for any upcoming auditions. be persistent!
dont ever doubt your capable
good luck!!

Sweetheart, don't listen to kyle or AIW!!!! They are obviously sinicle no hopers who have no confidence and don't believe in themselves and want to crush everyone elses dreams casue there dreams have obviously been crushed cause they don't believe in themselves. I think it's great that you realise your pretty honey. I say this, cause I am too! And I believe in myself. If those other guys had any brains left in their pot drunken heads, they would realise that any dream is possible. There are other famous actresses in the world, so hello? its obviously a realistic dream to have.

Get some great head shots done hun. Do some short films. Go to Nida or the eora college if you live in sydney, and ask about auditions. This will get you some footage of yourself on camera. Always get a copy. Do a few short films with speaking roles and you will have material to do a show real.

Do some acting classes, but dont spend a lot of money on them.

You can do a CV. A CV, headshot and a showreal is what you call a portfolio of yourself. Its the tools you need to get an agent that will take you seriously. Never pay and agent unless its a small fee for an extras agent. Doing extra work won't hurt, but you wont be taken seriously. But you will meet famous people who may give you good advise.

Good luck hun. Its not hard, but its a little time consuming. Never give up and belive in yourself. Dreams do come true if you believe in yourself and listen and surround yourself with positive people.

Love always,

First of all, learn to be a little bit modest. having confidence is good, but usually casting directors are turned off by cockiness. with that said, try auditioning. this site should be able to help you: hollywood-opportunities(dotcom)

What are my chances of getting a TV/screen acting job? No extra, but no big celeb. I do hope I don't sound conceited (?): I'm not going to go to an acting school. I probably won't be an actress all my life and don't plan on doing so. (I'm not willing to risk my life on it.) However, I simply LOVE acting/performing. I cannot get an agent. I've taken an acting class at college before. I'm fifteen. I have some but not a lot of experience with acting on stage. I live about twenty minutes east of Los Angeles. I know the chance would be pretty thin, but if it's not zero, where could I find the open auditions?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!

I am asking what jobs i can get after graduating I.T. because what if i graduated I.T. and still not that good at coding, i am hoping that there will be a jobs that will require less programming.

I'll be taking Programming HTML in 10th grade (I'm in 9th right now). My school offers Java, C++, Programming HTML, Graphic Communications, Robotics, CAD, and Game Design. I am taking courses not only because I want to fulfill credits, but to also test out some things and see what I like. I'm asking this in Careers because I was wondering what careers involve any of these and if they are good jobs. My cousin got me a little interested in computers because she has her Ph.D from University of Maryland, went to UMBC, taught at Carnegie Mellon, worked at IBM, and currently has a job at Microsoft (she works with human- computer interaction) I was curious, what are some good careers in Computer Science? Are these courses good ones to take to see if I like them? How much can you make in Computer Science careers? None of my decisions for the future are concrete and I do not only look at the money in anything so please, no assumptions unless you know me. I just want to have an idea of what to do and I have plenty of time. I love to help people which is why I am looking into medical careers as well. I'll be taking an AIDS research course in a few years and I'm taking a Child Development course in case I really do wish to be a Psychologist some day (Some other careers I have thought about are Hematologist, Dermatologist, Neurosurgeon, attorney, etc. I really would love to cure my parents who have Sickle Cell and Fibromayalgia but I know how Pharmaceutical Companies are.Treatment makes more than cure) t********s to anyone who can answer and help me out (Point gaming is pretty pointless. Two points vs ten? Which is more?) Thank you! I get good grades. Honor roll, honor student, I study hard and I keep to myself a lot so I have a lot of time to study. I'm cyber schooled because of how awful my old school was (kids bullied me. To the point where I could have died but teachers didn't care because my parents aren't friends with the teachers from high school. So, I just had to suffer. They lied to my parents and eventually, we just couldn't take it anymore. I got sick of defending myself against boys anyway. Thank God I'm into Martial Arts). I have been here for 4 going on 5 years and I love it! Peace and quiet....most of the time. I still live in a small town and the bullying just continues. So I have to be completely alone to escape it. Life will be better when I move to Canada. Also what you do is very interesting! Thank you very much! I can only take HTML this upcoming school year. Then the other courses become available throughout the years. I can't choose whether C++ comes before Java. It's not all available right away. It becomes available grade by grade. I heard people say $70,000 wasn't a good salary before and that really confused me. My cousin makes that much and she traveled to Spain, France, Atlanta and California recently. I think it is all interesting. New tech always did intrigue me and my mother. I'm just dipping a toe in first though. Just in case, when I go to college, my freshman year will be undecided to sit in on some more classes. I'll see what I like, this a lot, Thank you! Oh by the way, the C++ course is actually a C++ AND Java course! It's all in one. That's helpful :)
