Answer
Hi Destiny.  Hard to asnwer this without knowing your age, but I assume you are a teen or tween.  One always starts where they are, doing all the plays they can in school and in the community. Then if that experience over a few years shows you might have talent, you can move on to classes and marketing yourself as an actor.  Oh, if you are under 18, your success will be dependent upon a parent going out and marketing you for you. Labor laws require they sign for everything you do until you are 18. Best wishes and God bless, Doc
