I am 12 years old and I really want to become an actress/singer shown on T.V., like Miley Cirus or Miranda Cosgrove. Before you say "Practice" I can tell you I do practice a lot. I think I'm a good singer, and even my choir teacher says I am. I don't get stagefright, and I love acting. If you have any idea on how to become a young actress/singer, please tell! Thanks =)

Well it depends were you live. I live in Fl and some times they will do these things were there are open auditions to get on shows like icarly zack n cody n other disney or nick shows. threes all ways a chance you wont get a part but you might and i think its worth trying. Also your local collage they might do youth plays and sometimes when they performe the plays they can have scouts come to watch and see if any one in the play is worth giveing a part in a kids show. I hope this helped.

One of the most diverse muscles in our bodies is the tongue. This amazing tool not only helps you talk, but also helps you properly sing. When you sing, it is important that your tongue rest in specific areas as certain notes or scales are attempted. Learn here how to sing https://tr.im/G8IWU
The tip of the tongue is the easiest to control, but is not what is used the most in singing. When you sing, the tip of your tongue should be lightly pressed against the back of the lower teeth. This will ensure that it doesn't get in the way, or hinder the middle, sides, or back of the tongue when attempting certain notes. The back of the tongue, probably one of the hardest areas to control, should be the section that is relaxed. Once you get used to keeping the tip of your tongue lightly pressed against the back of your teeth, this should be easier to do. You can even put the tip a little lower if you feel it's in the way or becomes irritated. So, the back of the tongue should be relaxed, yet ready for use. You should be able to control it a little bit at this point. As you practice singing a little more, try to notice what the back and middle section of your tongue are doing. On lower tones or notes, the tongue will lie flat. On higher tones, the contrary. When it comes to lower tones, the tongue doesn't have as much work to do because the lower sound that is emitted originates in the chest cavity and is formed through the throat. With higher tones, however, the higher the tone, the more 'active' this back section of the tongue must be. Now that the tongue has been covered in some detail, it should be noted that singing is difficult on the muscles and surrounding cavities and ligaments. However, difficult does not mean painful. If in hopes of reaching a certain tone or trying to hold a sound, you thereby cause stress to your neck or throat muscles, you are not going to last long. Controlling these muscles, as steadily as possible, and working them to a certain point each day, without strain, is one of the most important factors when it comes to practicing and learning how to sing. Remember, you should never feel pain nor strain.

Hi! I'm in choir as well. If you are really serious, i'd move out to Los Angeles. The Hollywood business is hard work, don't expect to get famous overnight. You'd need an agent, and start a resume. Start by working as an extra for tv or movies and commercials. Disney and nick would be the best for your age, however you need connections. Connections are everything. Like i said before, you need a great agent. You and your family need to be 100% committed. Best of luck to you.

Why do you want to be an actor? It is not an easy life. Most actors can barely make enough money to eat. Lessons are all well and good, but do you have talent? How can you tell? Try a school talent show and get back to me. An O.K. voice and no experience will not get you jobs.
