You do not have to be in Hollywood or New York City to act.  Get involved with local theater groups or high school plays.  It is a great way to get experience and later to become known.\n\nYou do not say where in Michigan.  There are theater groups across southern Michigan.  Get the local experience first before worrying about moving away.

You didn't say if you've just moved to Michigan, or what you age is.  Anyway, here are the relevant sites for information on how to get a license:\n\n--For those who have just moved to Michigan:\n\nhttp://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,1607,7-127-1627_8669_9044---,00.html\n\n--For residents of Michigan under 18:\n\nhttp://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,1607,7-127-1627_8669_8998---,00.html\n\n--For residents of Michigan over 18:\n\nhttp://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,1607,7-127-1627_8669_9040---,00.html

What you need is a really flexible job, but you will find most employers when they say flexible hours in the paper really mean flexible for THEM.\n\nTake a look at my website, where I've got some real jobs working from home. I started the site as a free resource as I work from home and am now financially independent for the first time ever and it's a good feeling.\n\nhttp://www.real-work-at-home.co.uk\n\nOne IDEAL job for an actress is telesales. If you think of telesales as a paid acting job, then  you'll get on really well with it. You just have to work on the right voice and the right script and you've got yourself a winner.\n\nAlso, those sort of jobs do pay well. Some are hourly paid with bonus, some pay commission only. But my website will list both types as I find the jobs.\n\nIf I were you I'd do one job working from home on an hourly rate, one on a commission only basis and then pick a 3rd option of trying to build up a work from home business (it doesn't have to cost you anything - there's a link to one you can do for free where you are taught how to make the money too).\n\nIf you do that you will have the flexibility to drop 1 or 2 of them when you get an audition or a job, yet pick it up again on your next free day.\n\nSo, check out http://www.real-work-at-home.co.uk and \n\nGood luck with the acting!

first u need to move to florida ao u are available for a lot of casting calls. You need to go and get some head shots done so you can bring them with you. You also need a very supportive family to bring you to the auditions. There is no easy route to success. You will probably be turned down hundreds of times but if you want it that badly, you will stick with it.

I think you made the right choice girl. And I like the idea of taking extra lessons on the side. A well rounded actor can act, dance, and sing. Doing all of it, and having so much talent, you are sure to get a part.\nYou Go Girl!!!!\nGood Luck! \nBreak a Leg!!

It's best to get some experience first.  An agent won't take you on if you're an unknown quantity.  \n\nTake some acting classes.  If you're interested in film/TV, take classes geared toward that.  Do some community theatre, volunteer to be in student films at your local college.  (Ask for a copy of the tape as payment.)  \n\nGet some nice headshots done.  It's good to have the picture printed on postcards, so when you're in a production you can use them to send out announcements to agents/casting directors.  Sometimes they come to showcases.  \n\nAudition for everything.  You'll learn something new every time, and you'll be come a familiar face.  \n\nOnce you have some credits to put on a resume and some experience under your belt, start applying to agencies.  You may get a "Sorry, we have enough of your type/age/experience now."  Don't badger them, but re-apply in six months.  \n\nKeep studying, keep working on the craft, and be a cooperative actor.  Word of mouth is a powerful factor, and if you get a reputation as difficult, it won't matter how good you are.  \n\nBreak a leg!

There are schools for those folks who want to go into that business and the screen writers guild. It would be a great idea to join if possible, as soon as possible. Stay involved with other screen writers and directors. Meet as many as possible and befriend them without being a  threat. Good luck to you. Don't let your feelings get hurt along the way and hope to see your work some day! Nana

Same way you become an actor anywhere else --- you audition.  Are you in a geographic area that would lend itself to being involved in film and television? LA?  Vancouver?\n\nWatch the shows, find out who the casting directors are, and have your agency send them a headshot.  From there on out, it's all fate.\n\nGood luck.

It depends on where you live. The best way to get into acting is first to get experience, either in local short films or plays, and then move to a big city with a film industry, such as Los Angeles or New York. Buy Variety and other such industry magazines that list upcoming auditions, and audition for everything. \n\nIt's hard to become an actor, but don't give up.

I think you already know the answer to your question, you yourself said "my parents would be there for me 100%".  This statement says it all.  How do you think your parents would feel if you were missing, especially in another country?  Do you have any idea what this would do to them?  And how would you live in El Salvador?  You are focusing on the here and now, you SHOULD be focusing on the future.  At 16, I doubt that you could go to a foreign country, where you don't know the local customs, don't have family or friends, get a job that would support you, finish school, and eventually get married and have a kid , all the while you are worlds away from your parents.  At the same time, your parents are contacting the local police, making themselves sick with worry, suffering a broken heart, getting search teams to locate you, etc...  You sound like a smart girl, make the smart decision - discuss this with your parents.  You may not like their response, but keep in mind that they are "THERE FOR YOU 100%" so they know what is best for you.  You are 'blinded by love', and should do what your parents suggest.  Believe me, many years from now you will think back to this time and thank your parents for their help.

You'd have to be a recognized, legally ordained minister, or apply to be a notary in MI.\n\n   If you happen to be either already, why not perform a ceremony elsewhere?\n\nRev. Steven\n\n   Why? would be a question I have.

Rule number one of entering the modeling world: If someone wants *YOU* to pay for anything other than headshots, you're being scammed. Those modelling "classes" that get run at the local hotel/convention center? They're wolves feeding on people who think they have what it takes to "get inside." If your girls are determined to enter the business, get some headshots done and have them start pounding the pavement. Call local agencies, make appointments, look for casting calls in the local indie paper, do whatever... and tell them the entire time that that's what being a model/actress is all about. Lots of walking, lots of waiting, and lots of rejection. There are maybe 50 "supermodels" in the entire world, and there are *thousands* of girls who are waiting for one of them to turn 30 and be too old to do it any more. It's hard, it's not pretty, and you have to be crazy to want to do it. And if your girls are that kind of crazy, then I wish them well.\n\nGood luck.

check your newspaper.  sometimes in the classifieds or entertainment sections there are ads for extras, or open auditions.  I think that might be a good way to get started....
