Want to become an actor?
Move to Hollywood! You won't get the opportunities nor immediate acceptance as an actor anyplace else in the world. Research online for monologues and scripts to become familiar with and be able to recite at an audition. Monologues: 1 for comedy, and 1 for drama: http://www.actorpoint.com/monologue.html
Get used to watching television and films differently--look for the actors' body language, emotional reach, eye contact and expressions, and mouth movement. Let the best of them guide you--know who the best of them are! Charlie Sheen is television's highest paid actor. Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Matt Daemon, Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Will Smith, Kate Winslet, Tom Hanks, etc.--these are all A+ actors in the Hollywood film set!
And Will Smith says it best here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkziAM_ZyDM. Very impacting and motivating, this man, this video truly keeps me inspired--a powerful how to on getting out of your own way and becoming a success.
Let me know if you have any specific questions, and if there is anything else I can think of I will post an update. The one biggest thing is that you CLAIM IT NOW--you ARE an actor, beginning or otherwise, so get comfortable with telling this to people. :)
