Hi 
. I'm 13 yrs old, long brown hair, blue/green eyes, pretty. I am white but my skin tone is a little bit tan but still not very dark at all. I'm a straight A student. 5"3 and 135-140 lbs (but alot of people say I don't look like I weight that much.) I live roughly 4-5 hours from LA. I really want to get started on an acting career but I don't have alot of proffessional experience. I do take lines from TV shows and act them out by myself, and I've been practicing building up my emotions. (I'm pretty good at making myself cry easily now lol.) My family doesn't have that much money and they wouldn't be able to afford acting classes. I live in a smaller town anyways so I'm not even sure if acting classes are available. So that's out. I know that you supposobly need an agent. But how much do they cost? (Remember my family doesn't have alot of money.) How do you get one? And is an agent really even NECESSARY, or can you get by without one? I know that you would need a headshot and resume if I decided to audition for a part in anything. I live kinda far from any of the big cities, but moving is out of the question. My parents wouldn't just pack up and move for me just because I want to be an actress. I don't even think they would have confidence in me. I've never really brought it up to them though. I'm not that close to my dad and I've kind of just thrown it out there and been like "Mom I wanna be an actress." But I don't think that she thought I was serious about it. I don't really wanna sit down and talk to her about it because I know that she wouldn't think that i could do it considering the chance, but I have confidence in myself. I'm a smart girl and I know that if I work hard enought I could be successful. I just need to know how to get started. If I was over 18 and I could move to LA I would, but I'm not. I'm not doing it for the fame, It looks really fun and I think I would like it, but I know that it would be really hard work. And I think that I might be a natural. But I wouldn't want to be on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon or anything like that. I would be more interested in guest starring in an episode of House or a show like that. Guest starring on an episode of Supernatural would be my dream (I'm obsessed with that show, and they do have younger guest stars). I know that that wouldn't happen right away, but in time. And if you are filming a show, what about school? Do you have to go to school once a week on top of filming or something like that? And how do you know when/where there are auditions? I just feel like if I had an agent and had the things that I needed to be able to audition, I could be good at it. I know that I'm not experienced at all, but EVERYONE, even the big name stars had to start somewhere when they weren't experienced. I know I would be rejected sometimes, but I really want to try it out. If you can answer any of my questions or help me out in any way I would appreciate it soooo much. I know that was long so sorry about that. Thank you so much
