any ideas ???? thanx!!!I'm in high school and i want to be an actress, i have no experience i need some advice on how,where to start?
The best place to start would be to take Drama as an elective. Take the course every year if you can. Also join the Drama club. Both are free, but useful resources to develop your skills.





hope that helps.

The first thing you need to know is that there are a lot of scam agencies out there, just waiting to prey on your hopes and dreams.





The markers of a scam agency are:


- they ask for money up front to sign you up, or to audition


- they ask or require you to take their acting classes or attend ';events'; or conferences


- they require you to have head shots taken by their in-house photographer





These types of agencies make their money by signing people up and selling classes. They are not really in the business of getting work for their clients.





Legitimate agencies work on commission only (usually 15%). Legit agencies don't offer classes, have photographers, or charge up-front fees.





Many of the ';agencies'; out there that recruit actors are actually talent scouts. They charge you a fee to audition, and promise to find you an agent. Problem is, reputable agents don't have to find talent through scouts. The talent is knocking at their door. There may be legit scouts out there, but I've never encountered one.





The first thing you need to do is to get as much experience as you can. Join the school play, go to drama camp, act in community theater, take dance, drama and singing classes from local, reputable people.





Then, enlist the help of your parents. You will need their support to get you to auditions, and to protect your rights on set.





Do some research at the websites for





Screen Actors' Guild


https://www.sag.org/home





ACTRA Toronto


http://www.actratoronto.com/





There's great information on there about getting started in the business and finding a reputable agent.





Finally, when you have some experience, take a decent snapshot of yourself, and start looking for an agent.

Jopin the drama club go to auditions. rellay just get involved. You don't have to be a genius to act. For some, it comes naturally, others not so much. I have been acting for over 10 years and I am 16 for me it came to me. Also check nearby performing art centers, they usually have classes to offer!
