Acting School would be a great place to start. Not only you are learning and training your tools to be a better Actress, you will also meet other Actors who are like-minded, and have an interest in the Acting career.





Have you check out JaxStars? (http://jaxstars.com) They offer stage training program for Children and Youth Talents. Which is great for beginners.





Otherwise, there's the ';Acting School'; (http://theactingschool.org) of South Florida, where they provided technique training and conservatory program that allows you to learn everything about Acting.





At the end of the acting program, there's usually a theatrical production with invided audience, to see your performance.





The School Bullertin Board often post local casting calls as well.





Places that I would advice you to avoid: John Casablancas and John Robert Powers School.





When you have the training and ready to jump into the world of Acting, then these are some books that you might find helpful:





';Breaking Into Acting for Dummies'; by Larry Garrison - Don't let the name of this book threw you off. This book covers everything from headshots, agents/managers, casting directors, postcards, compcards, technical terms, workshops... and everything you need to know about Acting Career.





';How To Be A Working Actor'; by Mari Henry and Lynne Rogers - is also a great book, but it might be too early for your age.





Last, but not least, visit http://www.florida-actors.com - it's a free online community and resource for Actors in Florida. The website include Job Notice, Actor's Page, Book List, etc.





Good Luck!!If you have any acting advice for an inspiring actress please help me i have no clue how to start my career!?
Sometimes you have to start out doing small parts. Enter every talent show, play that you possibly can. I'm sure if you take acting lessons, there will be parts that will become available for audition. It won't be easy, but you have to literally ';live, breathe, acting'; and if you can sing do that also, it could finally help you get a foot in the door. Let your parents know that you are very serious about this. Maybe they will be willing to relocate to support your ambition ( who knows) but stay persistant in your pursuit! One day I might see you on the big screen, I wish you luck!
First things first - Practice! If you want to be an actress, you gotta' start somewhere! Try out for plays and musicals at school or in the community! (And dont give up if you dont get a part at first.)





You also might want to try taking some acting classes or workshops.





See if there are any filmings going on in Florida near you where you could be an extra, and go to any open calls from talent agencies. You dont have to live in LA or New York to become an actress!
if you are serious about acting then you should probably get an agency. just look for reputable talent agencies in your area and submit your info, which includes a headshot, full body shot and your resume if you have one. but the best thing to do if you have no experience in acting is taking some acting classes, then try to get an agency. an agency is most likely going to call you back if you have experience. so take acting classes and then get an agency. your agencies job will be to get you auditions so you could get parts in movies or commercials..
I'm 17 and also an aspiring actress and I have to tell you that if you want to really get into the industry take it seriously and make a plan ! take acting lessons , voice lessons , take head shots , do some stage - community theater to gain experience , and make a resume . This is what most of my plan looks like and i can say that its going to take some time and a lot of hard work but if you want to really do this you will ! Good luck


P.S.


Wish me luck ! almost forgot get an agent !
