I'm a 13 year old girl. I do drama at му school and there's a school play and I auditioned but I'm just a robber and I don't think I even talk and if I do I get like 1 line. How can I become better so that maybe the 'director' puts ме in a better part?

But also, remember that you've got to start somewhere! If you master your robber character, theyll give you a bigger part next time so keep at it. And even after you've had a big role with loads of lines, they may put you in a smaller part later, even if youre the greatest actress ever, the director will sometimes think you are not as well suited to a part as another person is.
Its not always necersarilly about skill, but how the part looks and who can bring what to a character. [ soph0900's advice column | Ask soph0900 A Question ]

You will get more exposure this way. Its not so much looks that will get a person good parts as it is stage presence. There is an energy or vibes that come off an actor/actress that make the part so real instead of a stiff paperdoll image that anyone could stick in that spot. I say look for a secondary outlet for your love of acting. The only other great way young people who start acting these days get started is the teens who audition and get accepted to play parts is through disney channel auditions. Look them up on line but not until you've honed your skills and gotten the attention of some local people. Watch you tube videos by teens who are working with disney channel. Look up the video titled, "how to get an acting job on the disney channel" It has helpful info even if you weren't targeting disney [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
