I want to become an actress... but how do I get discovered?

I%26#039;m 11 and I want to become an actress. I want to become an actress like those actresses that are around my age like Georgie Henley. I have black hair with really dark brown eyes and brwon skin.





A lot of my friends say I am really good at acting. I live in Canada, so how do I get discovered?





Thanks!

It is very rare for actresses to be discovered.


First, you have to live in an area that needs actresses...places where movies, television, and professional plays are produced.


Then, you need to get an agent.


Then, you have to work like heck.

I hear that all u have to is put yourself out there.


People seldom get discovered by just sitting on their asses. Join a local theatre.....start working like HECK. Learn to sing and dance. Do public speaking and YOU go looking for what u want.
Reply:First you going to have to go to acting schools for training. Not only one but a couple. Then you should get in local plays, school plays, student films. You could search for auditions on craigslist.com or subscribe to backstage.com The you should get headshots that look like you. Professional headshots are pretty expensive they cost $200-$1000 but on craigslist you could find less expensive headshot that range from $50 to $150. As you get more and more credits on your resume, you may want to go for an agent. An agent gets you auditions and they want people who they think would nail all the auditions they give. If you get a part in an audition. The money you make out of that work you pay 10% to your agent. ONLY 10%. If they ask for money upfront they are a SCAM. Once you get an agent you would start getting a lot of auditions which means more audition. As you make money out of roles you make you may want to get professional headshots. Then in the future you may want to join Union such a SAG, AFTRA , AEA.... HOPE I HELPED
