Question
hi i am 11 and i want to start acting but i dont know how or where.i am in the uk so i dont know if you can help me.
but please can you tell me what is best for me to do please i have always wanted to be an actress.

Answer
Hi Ebony,  Well, I can tell you this. I think to become an actor in the UK requires that you attend university or academy for training. So you want to gear your education to include those things. On the way experience in Stagecoach would be good, then later try to get into the National Youth Theatre.  Best wishes and God bless, Doc
