Boy, is this a popular question!
Look, guys. Forget "trying to make it as an actor." Just start acting, anywhere and any way you can.
On the downside, you'll have to come face-to-face with your inexperience. Acting is absolutely a craft. Even the "naturals" have to study for years and years to get good at it.
If you don't put in those years, why would you expect yourself to succeed?
Then again, there are loads of people who don't really want to succeed. For some, to "say they tried" is enough. We live in a generation where kids are taught that effort is as good as achievement. As a result, we've learned to exercise effort in ways where it won't do any good. Why not? We may not succeed, but we'll get the attention and the credit for trying, right?
Not actually. Nobody cares about the non-achievers.
What is it you want? Do you want to act, or do you just want to say you tried? Are you looking for a distant dream to keep you company while you work on whatever it is your life is really about, or are you looking for a life of rehearsals, performances, and entrepreneurism?
Make up your mind. When you do, the next step will more than likely be obvious.
