How does a 13 year old become an actress?

Answer by  GuyGuy9987 (34)

Get involved in theater with your school and out of school. Get as much experience as you can, participate in any school plays or church plays that are offered to you. Go to local theaters in your community. The bottom line is, do as much acting as you can now and it will pay off for you in the future.

She must have the authorization of her parents, as she is still a minor. Then she can take drama lessons or go to various castings for movies or commercials. This can be as a main role or as a minor character, who will probably be in a scene amongst a lot of other people.

Begin by focusing on one type of medium -- commercials, film, live plays, or television. Then, conduct information interviews with as many people involved in that medium as possible. Do not ask or pretend it is an audition; be seriously curious about each individuals opinion. Only after conducting these information interviews, start contacting the people you admired for auditions.

Becoming an actress is not easy, but starting young is the key. Sign up for school and local theater productions (often available through camps, local parks and service organizations, too). Try drama, comedy, the classics and more to see if acting feels right for you.
