Maru, it's absolutely thrilling that the magic of Chinese and Korean cinema has ignited your dream of becoming an actress! To truly step into that spotlight, your journey begins with diving headfirst into training and skill-building. Imagine immersing yourself in acting classes that sharpen your fundamentals, master scene study, and unleash your improvisational genius, all while gaining invaluable stage experience through school plays or vibrant community theater. Simultaneously, you'll want to refine your craft by dissecting captivating performances, devouring scripts, and potentially honing your voice and movement to command any role. As you accumulate those exhilarating experiences, it's time to craft your professional toolkit: striking headshots that capture your essence, a compelling resume showcasing your growing talent, and a dynamic demo reel that truly highlights your best work. From there, actively chasing audition opportunities across various productions, building connections within the industry, and perhaps even finding an agent to champion your career become your next thrilling steps. Remember, the path can be competitive, but with unwavering persistence, a generous dose of patience, and smart financial planning, you can absolutely turn your cinematic inspiration into a captivating reality!

Hello, Maru !
Your enthusiasm and passion to become an actress shines through ! Since there are no Acting Schools in your country of Myanmar, let's explore ways that you can obtain the training you will need and see what opportunities there may be for doing some acting in the future after you are trained.
To start, become involved in any shows that your current school does, even if it's not acting but singing or dancing shows, break the ice by doing school shows to see if it is indeed something that you'd like to dedicate a lot of time to and continue with. How you personally become an Actress will be determined by your own personal circumstances and the steps to be in acting are not a one size fits all instruction. So, begin with your current school, becoming involved with any theatre, video or shows that your school provides opportunity for.
The next step is that you will need to make your career interest known to your parents since you did not mention your age. You will need a lot of support from them and they will need to provide transportation for you if you start acting outside of school.
If your current school does not offer acting classes or the opportunity to do shows, ask your parents to look into the Myanmar International Academy, which is high school level and located in Yangon, Myanmar. Not especially known as an acting school, at this school there is a focus on helping the student excel in their chosen field. Your parents would have to approve that you transfer from your local school to one in Yangon. Myanmar does not have any colleges that offer a Major in Acting or Theatre. Keep in mind that you will not be able to learn acting online remotely because the whole essence of acting entails interacting with other people and getting direction and feedback in real time, in person.
Read books about well known Myanmar actresses to see if you can be inspired by their stories of how they started acting. Read about Thet Mon Myint, Wutt Hmone Shwe Yi, Thinzar Wint Kyaw and Eaindra Kyaw Zin. They have achieved success as actresses in Myanmar and perhaps their stories could inspire you and shed some light on what steps to take for training.
Do not invest in any materials for acting until you have been trained and know how to go forth as an actress. You will need to know how to act in film, television, theatre, commercials, documentaries and all forms of entertainment, so training is crucial first, then when you are ready, you can start auditioning for work. There are no casting agencies in Myanmar, but, when you are ready, there are some in Thailand, one being Master Class Studio. The casting agencies are for when you are fully trained, have substantial experience and feel ready and versatile enough to start your career. So, a lot goes into the process, in general, to become an actress and it doesn't happen the same way for everyone, so there's no basic "how to" for everyone.
In Myanmar, actors usually work primarily in film and television and these hubs are located in Yangon and Mandalay. Once you are of age and can be on your own, you may consider relocating to these acting hubs to pursue your career.
I hope this helps for a start and I wish you all the best. Do not give up, be patient and have fun with the process !
