How To Become A Teen Actress

By Margaret Smith


It is often a dream of a young girl or boy to become an actor, singer or dancer. In some cases, one may want to be involved in all three areas of the theater arts. Most often, while becoming involved in elementary, middle or high school, the child grows up and follows a different career path. When a pre-teen or teenage girl dreams of becoming a teen actress, there are often steps one can reach to make the dream a reality.

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.

The first and most important step in becoming involved in the industry is learning how to network. From audition and direction to performance, the key aspect of working in this industry is that of networking. When learning how to network, it is important to talk with people who know about the industry.

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.

When going to auditions and not getting a part, rejection can often be difficult. While this is the case, keep in mind that talent, like beauty is often in the eye of the beholder. As such, while not accepted for one part that does not mean that one might not be perfect for another part in a film or stage production.

Some of the most important contacts one has when desiring to enter the entertainment business is that of drama and music teachers. It is essential that those interested take as many acting, speech and communications classes as possible. As most auditions require acting and singing, it is often best to also take voice and music lessons. In taking as many of these classes as possible, students often have an edge against others who have not done so.

Some of the best people who can help a teen move forward in this career choice is that of music, drama and speech teachers. For, these individuals often notice talent during school assignments, dances, plays and other productions. As such, the teacher might be able to suggest the appropriate area in which one might want to get started in 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.
