Question
Hello Kenneth,
I was wondering what the best acting schools that accept people with no experience are.
Thanks in advance
Ben
Hi Ben, Well, I don't know the answer to that and I would be just a bit leery of acting schools until I had some experience as an actor. Your first step would be to be in some amateur theatre. So find a dramatic society near you and get involved with them as an actor. After you have done two or three plays, let me know how it is going. God bless, Doc
