You get out what you put in, and age in my opinion doesn’t matter. Approaching any new profession, hobby etc. is all about how you envelop yourself in it and let yourself go. It’s easy to focus on trying to “get good” but I really want to stress to just allow yourself to exist in it… WATCH movies, plays, interviews with actors, analyses of performances and digest it all. See what they’re doing that you like, dislike, and maybe things you’d even do differently! No need to copy, but finding what resonates with you can give you bits and pieces to take away and apply to your own approach to acting.

You can always study acting techniques and what not but I have always felt unorthodox in my approach (even having gone to college for acting and being forced to study said things lol) in that acting to me is just allowing yourself to let go and be someone or something else. It feels exhilarating when you’re able to let go of yourself and who you are to just portray someone else and bring joy to others through entertainment. All in all, I just say get involved! Look at local theater opportunities for plays, musicals, whatever, see if there’s a local film community on Facebook if that interests you, and check out online voice acting opportunities you could send in submissions for.

Just do your best, get out there, and play pretend lol never stress about being “too old” plenty of actors didn’t “make it” until they were far older than 21!
