I want to become a famous actress/singer?

I want to become a famous singer/actress but im only like 11 yrs old (please don't say anything bad about my age) plus i told my mum and she thinks that everyone my age wants to become that but im really serious, i am very good at acting but i just need a little more practice with singing. I want to go to acting school or learn at the theater or go to singing lessons as well, i know that the best place to start would be in the big city's like london but i don't live in london. Also it would be very hard to become both a singer and a actress. Would you rather be a singer or an actress, i am better at acting but im really desperate to start acting at my age because all the famous actors start acting from a young age as well. I don't want to regret it in the future and i really want to start now before its too late and fulfill my dreams. Any help? Plus like i said no bad comments about my age or anything else.

    Just find someone who is good at acting/singing. I think you'd better be sure whether you want to sing or act, dear. I think acting is easier than singing, because it's easier to learn to sing when you're a bit younger, but I don't say that you can't learn to sing. Where there is a will, there is a way! ;-)

    Becoming an Actor/Actress

    Find every opportunity in your traveling distance that does Plays or Musicals. Check the schools and community groups as well as professional. Contact them and ask to be notified of any auditions.

    If you do not get a part, offer to help in any way (paint scenery, usher etc.) Just being around the production you will learn a lot.

    Study Dance, Music and Acting. You must be able to do at least one great and the others well enough to let the others work around you. Find classes or instructors that have produced talent.

    Work on your image. You have to be a go getter, with lots of confidence and at the same time come across as humble.

    Develop work ethics. Never be late. Never be absent. Always be attentive. Always show respect for others, even when you do not think they deserve it.

    If and when approached by a talent agent or agency. Check them out carefully. If you are too young to sign a contract, remember your parents will need to be very involved.

    Agents

    They do not look at your picture and resume and go out and try to find you a job.

    You should give them enough information about your skills and decent photos of you.

    Almost all agents know where to find out about casting for theater and movies.

    When these castings are announced they look through their files to see who might have a chance. If you appear to have a chance they will notify you.

    Until you have found work several times they are not going to go out and try to sell you to a producer.

    Read these web sites and all their links.

    You answered you own question. YOu need to go to school and take classes, do teen drama programs and vocal lessons.

    Grab a bio book on any of those famous actors from England and you will see they started out in local theaters and then got into the observatory.

    Do the local stuff, take the drama programs when they become available, most learn how to do it all and then specialize as they progress. I am what you would call a triple threat. (sing dance and act) there for I book theater, films, tv and commercials. I never say never because te moment I do I am booking the gig I say I never do.

    It's very possible to learn to sing well. You just need to know the right methods. Learn here https://bitly.im/aM0y1

    Singing teachers will cost money and can be expensive so they're not for everyone. Singing can be learned so it's not an "either you have it or you don't" kind of thing.

    Whether you sound like crap or you're decent, I recommend this singing course. It's one of the best methods to learn to sing well in a short amount of time. It's all about using efficient techniques that work.

    It's true everybody that age wants to do that. I don't know if you're going through a phase or if you're about to show off a talent. Do you know the salary of starting actors? it's an unstable business in the bottom roles. I dont know actually aboutthe industry but if you wanna start, apply for roles and start practicing.

    Okay first off i can tell you right now you may not go far. Not because of your age or anything, it is because you said you want to be famous!!!! You are doing this for all the WRONG REASONS you have to do it for the love not to get something out of it.

    end of story
