Question
Hello,
I love to act, its amazing but I don't want to be one of those actresses that is turned into a popstar. I'm not interested in singing, just acting. I don't want to sell my talent(or the talent I think I have). I am 15 and I have been in drama all through-out junior high and will be doing it in highschool also. I've been in one play:(. But will be in more. I would like to know how i can get started. Thank you

Answer
Hello Anna, You get started by doing all the drama stuff in HS, especially the plays and musicals. This is the way all pros get started. Later, when your success in these shows you have talent, enlist your parents'support in finding and attending professional classes. Best wishes, Doc
