just need some opinions fellas.....i am 28 years of age and i have a decent job....but i think i need to look for something different to do...maybe job wise but also hobbie wise. I m thinking of getting into acting.

People always tell me i am great at telling stories and pretty charismatic...and i used to excel at productions in school, college etc...and more importantly i enjoyed it.

A friend of mine is giving me a lot of encouragement and he reckons i would need pronounciation training and elocutuion lessons to tone down my accent and brush my speech up.

has anyone got any other tips. how do i go about it, what do i need to do....first steps etc???
