What if I want two totally different jobs and want to pro-sue both of them?

Robotics/Mechanical Engineer and Acting/writing. I want to do both because I love theater and books, plus I do super well in ELA. But I also really want to do Robotics, kind of like Tony Stark. I really like building mechanical stuff. Should I do one on the side? Please help.

Why is it so hard to get acting jobs in the black community? Is it more complex then just skin tone?

I was a theatre magnet student for 3 years, I'm 16, and I am very interested in getting back to acting and Broadway.

What does it take to become an actress How can you get a job for one? Do you need to hire an agent, or will they contact you for a job??

I want to be an actress when I grow up, so I want to learn some of these skills from the experts themselves. So this will be an amazing experience for me.

Should I be a Voice actor or an actor?

I met an awesome Voice actor, Lizzie freeman (TADC, jojo's bizzare adventure, etc...), and she inspired me to be a voice actor. I'm planning to take chorus to help my voice, but she recommends having a bigger 'job palette' by being an actor. What should I do? Also, what can I do to practice my voice before being an official Actor/VA?

I'm a 14-15 year old living in a small town, though I have aspirations of being an actor. How would I start my acting journey?

I have no prior experience with acting, so I'd love some help on where to learn acting and how to audition for roles/build my career afterwards. Thanks!

How do I start acting? I'm 14, and got in a casting for heartland but didn't get in.

How do I start an acting career? and how do I be good at it? I've been in a casting for Heartland, but they didn't choose me. I'm good at poetry and fake fainting/falling, my mom says I could be a good voice actor and I can do many accents. I'm 14 though

My name is Kylie. I am sixteen and currently a Junior. Do you have any recommendations on college for a student with an average GPA and a want to be a musical theatre major? I really need some advice on how to get into a certain college and which one to pick.

I have musical theatre experience. I have been in my high school drama club for over 6 years now. Some standout roles are: Carlotta (Phantom of the Opera), Mr.s Teavee (Charlie and the Chocloate Factory), Jan (Grease) along with many others. I have had voice lessons training for opera singing for almost 7 years now. I also perform at my community theatre. I also do color guard and am the captain this year. I also plan for trying out for all Ohio ( a show that has student actors from all across the state.) I have also done solo and ensemble for 2 years now. Freshman year: I did Kind Fortune smiles, class B, and got a 1. Sophomore year: I did Sebben crudele, class B Italian, and got a 1. I am doing a class A this year

could you start acting at 12?

i was wondering could i start acting at twelve? one of the main concerns i had is my genetics made me tall young at 6'1 so i don't know if i could do roles my age. and secondly how do you even start out acting as a whole? i think theatre and musicals are cool but i find films and tv more interesting.

What is representation in acting?

For performing artists, what are the key roles I should know about? I've heard for actors, it is about management but I've also heard these people called agents, or representation.

What is the best way to get in front of casting directors?

I have dance and theatre experience and am a performing artist. I took some time off and it is still my dream and passion to work in entertainment. I am 33 years old! College doesn't feel like the right fit at my age. I don't have transportation or much means to speak of. I was working as a data analyst in the technology industry and was laid off. It sounds ridiculous, but it was a real wake up call. I idolize artists that have made impacts in fashion, music, film, tv, and on the stage. But I am absolutely clueless on what to do.

What education and skills does it take to become an actor/ voice actor?

When I was younger, I use to laugh at the characters that I see on tv like Jim Carrey. So when I grow up I want to make other people laugh, smile, and make their day.

How to get better at Acting?

How can I become a better actor? Acting makes me happy and it lets me explore how others think and feel. I also can’t afford much because my family is poor so I also want to get better so I can get a scholarship to a good university.
