Steps To Becoming A Teen Actress

By Margaret Smith


Most well-known young actors have typically been working in Hollywood since childhood. While this is the case, It is not a requirement as one can still become a teen actress while still in middle or high school. In order to do so, there are some specific tips and tricks that can help those desiring to enter the acting arena whether interested in stage or film.

With all the recent films and television shows which highlight teen acting, such as the ever popular Pretty Little Liars and Gilmore Girls, interest in acting is at all high time high. In fact, more teenage girls are interested in an acting career now more than ever before in history.

When this is the case, there are often steps the individual can take to make this dream come true. Learning the art of networking is the first and foremost step to success when it comes to working in the film and television industry. For, whether trying out for a part on a television show, auditioning for a part in a movie or applying for a job on a crew, networking is the key to getting into the business.

Once talking with people in the industry, it is important to be as clear as possible about the type parts or performances one wishes to do. For, these might just be the individuals who know people in the industry who can help. In large part, connections created through others can often lead to the most interesting and outstanding roles in the business.

In some cases, it can be good to ask friends and family for advice. However, this is only the case when those individuals are supportive of the dream one has to become involved in theater. If there are friends or family involved in the business, always ask for help as these people may know the right connections to move one forward in the process.

Music and drama teachers often have contacts in the entertainment business to get ideas for school plays and other performances. As such, if interested in becoming an actor, one of the best people to talk with is that of the drama teacher. For, drama teachers have often performed in a number of different productions during high school and college and may very well know people who can help students get a step up and into an entry level position.

Drama and music teachers can often offer tips on how to branch out in the business. In most cases, one of the first things a student is going to learn is that one must be flexible. For, when looking to work in the entertainment industry, there is often a stair-step process. For example, one might have to work on a film or stage crew before becoming involved in the acting side of the business.

Individuals who present the most information related to early performance history are often going to be better at getting desired parts. Whether having acted in a play or been part of a musical production, performance history is often key to success. As such, the more performance history and talent information a teenager can provide, the more likely one is going to see success in the business.
