I'm going into 7th grade next school year, and I only learned REAL experiences in 6th grade. To be honest with you, try to read your characters lines multiple times then see what it might mean to you as a character or you. Then, just take a deep breath and try and connect yourself with the character. I learned this in Drama and I followed what my teacher said and I got the leading role. You can buy book in Amazon too. When acting don't overly act where you might sound really chesy, just take a deep breath and connect. Just remember that. Hope I've helped you.

Start by joining the drama club in school. This is a great way to get some basic experience in acting. If your community has a local theater club you should talk with them as well and see if you can join them to get some experience.
You need to do this for if you want to get in to an acting school such as the New Your School of Drama and acting? You need to have some background to show them and to have built some skill level to build on with them. You will have audition to join the school.
After high school you will want to follow a dual course. If you are fortunate enough to audition for and be accepted to a good acting school that would be great. Plan on not being accept the first time you audition. Plan on going to college and majoring in Drama. Then after each year you can audition again for the acting school of your choice to show them how you have improved.
Hopefully you will gain acceptance and you then can build the career you are looking for.
