How much do young actors get paid?
Pay scales really don’t follow an age scale. If you are talking about a Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG)/ AFTRA film or TV production, actors are paid according to the contract regardless of age. An established actor, also regardless of age, can be paid above scale meaning more money. So it really isn’t about an actor’s age.All that stated, a new actor, regardless of age, may make only a stipend if they work on a student or independent film.
When is a good age to start an acting career?
Great actors rarely have started in their teens. They may have done some small theater or school productions, but most start in their early to late 20s. It bothers me that you have this dream, but you are laying blame on parents and the town you are living in. More actresses come from small towns in mid america than any where else. Quit blaming and start taking full advantage of the Salt Lake area. 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.
How hard is it to become an actor?
There’s a huge difference between “How hard is it to become an actor?” and "How hard is it to become a successful actor?"If you love acting, you can be an actor. That’s it.If you want to be a SUCCESSFUL actor .. be forewarned, this is not a field you can succeed in if you are half-assing it.The work required to get an agent is ridiculous.Then, once you have an agent, there's no guarantee that you'll be going out on frequent auditions — the agent SUBMITS you for the auditions, but it's actually the Casting Director who decides if they want to see you read for a part. If you're lucky (and have a great agent, awesome headshots, THE RIGHT marketable look, etc), you'll get to go out on a lot of auditions — maybe a few per week.Auditioning is now your full time job. You get a script, usually within 24 hours of the audition, and have to memorize and prepare a fully developed character. What you have to understand is that most film directors don't adjust the actors that much at all, which is why when you go to YouTube to watch the audition tapes of people who booked parts, they look exactly like they do in the final film. So really, you have 24 hours to prepare a final-edit, cinema-ready character.If you happen to be exactly what they're looking for, you might get the part. Maybe.I’ve heard the number thrown around that a good actor can book one role for every hundred of those auditions.That's if you're lucky. And marketable. And talented. And personable. And hard-working. And in the right place at the right time.That's a basic breakdown. The better known you are, the better your chances. But it is reeeeally fucking hard to actually break into this industry and make a name for yourself. Hell, it's hard to even make a living at this.Now, if you just want to act, and don't care about fame or fortune, it's a much easier bar to reach. Ready?For stage: find local theaters. Audition. You might not get cast the first time. Keep trying.For screen: you have a camera phone, right? Make a web series. Write, direct, and star. Put it on YouTube. Just keep making work.It's a process. Acting, despite what many will lead you to believe, is not an easy field. I recommend not pursuing it unless you absolutely love it, because, as you can see, it takes sincere commitment over an extended period of time.If it's what you love to do? Do it. It's so worth it.Originally answered as: How do you know if you have chance to be an actor?

Why do 18-21 year olds act more like kids/teens than adults?
According to the law (at least in the US), you become a legal adult when you turn 18.According to the fact that biology and life doesn’t work that way, you do not immediately lose all ‘childish’ tendencies the moment you turn eighteen.I will not stop enjoying the playful banter of my friend and I as we spend the entirety of fifth period roasting each other just because I turn eighteen. Will I get tired of it? Possibly. Will it have anything to do with the fact that I’m legal? Nah.I will not stop sneaking up behind another friend and waiting until she turns around, sees me, and jumps in two years just because I turn eighteen. That is much too simple a joy to be an adult habit, obviously, but it’s because it’s so simple that it makes me laugh so much.Y’know, a fairly common complaint I hear about schooling in the US is that from the time you enter school in pre-school to the moment of your graduation over twelve years later, you need to ask for permission to use the bathroom. People talk over you and use your age as an excuse to invalidate your opinion—not all the time, but often enough.And then you turn eighteen! Maybe you’ve already graduated high school; maybe you still have a bit to go. Wait, you don’t have a job? How irresponsible are you? Why don’t you know how to drive? That’s lazy. You don’t even have a concrete idea of what you want to major in? How absurd! Have you thought about marriage yet?Stars above, just let people be.There is no 30 foot obsidian fence between seventeen year olds and eighteen year olds stating NO CHILDISH BEHAVIOR ALLOWED, last I checked.18–21 year olds still act like teenagers because, in any timeframe ranging from last month to three years ago, they were teenagers.And also because acting young happens to be kinda enjoyable, which is why it’s also quite possible that you’ll see people as old as your grandparents doing goofy kid things.
