You start by having some talent and they you need to get training and experience. So take acting classes, attend an acting school/program. Audition for what you can in your area. If you're a minor and want to have a professional acting career, your parents HAVE to be involved. Professional acting is a business - like starting your own company with YOU as the product. It's not something where you're just "discovered" and become an actor. It takes a big investment of time, effort and money with no guarantee of a return on the investment. You'll need to be in it for the long haul because it's not something that happens overnight.
Just to give you an over, SOME of what you'll need for a professional acting career:
* Talent
* Quality acting training/classes
* Experience (on stage and in front of the camera. At first you'll have to start with low-to-no pay jobs)
* Professional head shot
* Professional acting resume
* Acting reel (video of your on-screen work if you want to work on TV/movies)
* A licensed talent agent (good roles are cast through talent agents - not open audition or websites)
* Several well-developed monologues for auditions
* To be a member of SAG/AFTRA or at least an understanding of how unions work
* An understanding of the business end of acting - the entire casting process, the players, what type of work is available in your area, etc.
* A good network of connections in the industry
* To be where auditions are held. If you're wanting to a main role in a major motion picture, you're probably not going to get auditions for one living in someplace like Ohio.
* A strong foundation and healthy ways to cope with the stress of trying to work professionally. You need to be able to handle rejection, competition and instability.
* If you're a minor, you may need an entertainment work permit and a trust account established in their name to legally work in the enteratinment industry.
For almost everyone, if you have a lot of natural talent, the way to become an actor is by getting into a good acting school and working very hard for many years. You'd also need a lot of stage experience.
Baliee was different in that she's been performing since she was a baby and her much older sister was already an actor.
Well currently I myself am In a play it is pretty much major anyways how you be an actor is to not be yourself but to put yourself In the character your playings shoes you give them a backstory you can relate to,a persona persay and from there give actions and reactions to everything within where,what,when you are acting and also be In the moment over the top actors are paid to act because In films they can be whoever they want to be on whatever they set their mind to.
