Hi My Same Named Friend~
I get this question a lot from people outside of major cities. It's hard because
there aren't
many choices. But get in an acting class for sure. Acting is like any other art
(singing,
architecture, music) you can't JUST do it. Training, training and more training.
I still take
acting class once a week. You have to learn the basics, develop your technique
then keep
practicing it every day. A person wouldn't just jump in and design a skyscrapper
for New
York city. A lot of people come to LA thinking they can do just that with
acting.

Bottom line (I tend to repeat myself) Take classes. As many as you can in your
area. Then
see how you feel. Is it right for you? Cause trust me..... This is so much
harder than it
looks :)

Let me know how it goes!
