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.

Acting as a teen can be exciting. Though, as with adults interested in the business, it can often be difficult to get a foot in the door. For, in order to become a teen actor, students must network with the right people, learn about the industry and practice the craft on an ongoing basis.

The first and most important step in becoming involved in the industry is learning how to network.

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.
