I am REALLY serious about this. I keep taking classes and im thinking about going to an acting college. But Im also thinking abotu doing some modeling on the side  

One thing Im not sure about though is money. I mean i dont have alot of money so how would I even pay to hire and agent? D:

Google, or whatever you can get- as in theatre, talent scouts come round from time to time, keep up the game and maybe you can...

you need to get an equity card, if you haven't already. Like other people have said, get an agent. You could also try being an extra. There are loads of agencies around and the pay is pretty good. Also, you should join your local theatre and do some am dram. You will start of with bit parts, but stick with it and you'll start getting better stuff.

Also, be careful. Lots and lots of people want to be actors, so you have to be the best. Even then you might not get it. Whatever the actors on TV say, it does take a bit of luck. You need to have a back up plan, just in case. Good luck with it though!

Thank you for the support and the ideas I know its alot harder now a days for aspiring actors because there are so many people who want to be actors. I try hard and I am also thinking of a fall back just in case Im not one of the lucky ones but for now Im still VERY hopeful. And Id like to thank everybody that has posted here for all the help everything helps even just the littlest peice of adivce so to everyone here Thank you SO much

I also love acting so here are my tips, watch lots and lots of movies to see what other people do(facial expression, movement, accent etc.), also practice in the mirror so you see what kind of facial expression your making and also it will give you more confidence, record yourself or even video record what your doing so you can see whats good and what you need to work on, ask for friends opinion on things, and lastly as an actress you have to remember that u cant get a part on every audition you do, its just the way it goes, so hold your head high and smile. I hope i helped

Lmao well idk that WOULD DEFINATLY get me noticed XD
I might consider this

Best thing to do is get as much experience as you can.
Best thing I've ever done anyway and believe me it helps.

Being an actress was one of the most important thing to me, but it is also a very hard thing to do get onto the big screen and things like that. You might want to start out doing small things to get you noticed. And make sure you really want to do it.

if ur playing a role of....say a person feeling very abandoned,
think back to when you were abandoned by any one
and act exactly how u felt then,

trust me,it works!


also remember that you cant do anymore than your hardest!
