Well, looking at your name, you want to be one of the actors there soo... \n\nTry to know when auditions will be open for a role sometime. I saw some new Wendy Wu show, that might work.\n\nStay updated, check on their website. \n\nAnd ask your parents to help you through this.\n\nGood luck!

Go to lots of auditions. Do all the acting and performing you can. Look for opportunities to do commercials. Try to get known locally. You will eventually need to get an agent. If you work hard at it and if you are talented enough, you may be able to succeed, but there is a lot of competition. Good luck!

first choose which you want to do!  If you want to be an actress... Then take a few classes or if your naturally good, get head shots and find a local talent agent.  Here you may get work as an extra or even a commercial.  You'll probably find good info on SAG.  Once you get a resume together, head out to LA or NY.  Remember... Brad Pitt use to stand outside a KFC type restaurant wearing a chicken outfit before he became famous.  -- never give up on your dreams.

They have magazines that list casting calls, (kind of like a news paper classifieds listing).  Get an agent it's probably the easiest way.

You have to go to acting classes and be able to do many things: sing, dance, play an instrument, even learn how to act in Shakespearean plays. It's a lot of hard work and few people make it. Google The Actors Studio in NYC.

start with making a portfoliio of your work from grade school and on...\n\nYou will be played with often, so choose a smart agent by going to actor's guild website and follow the money.  But I would start in a theater such as small acting schools in Chicago, or go to college such as Columbia cologe.

ok i will tell u read the following.dont forget me if u become a big actress\n\n\n\n#  STEP 1: Decide whether you want to be a professional actor (addressed here) or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on.\n# STEP 2: Move to a major city. Eventually, New York or Los Angeles will be your destination, but as you build your résumé of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities.\n# STEP 3: Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references.\n# STEP 4: Get a headshot (see "How to Get a Headshot," under Related eHows).\n# STEP 5: Compose a résumé of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays) from your résumé.\n# STEP 6: Send your headshot and résumé with a brief cover letter to all the casting directors and agents in your area. Follow up with postcards every four to six months, updating them on your current acting projects.\n# STEP 7: Read the trade papers regularly: "Backstage," "Dramalogue," "The Ross Reports" and "Variety," as well as online publications such as newenglandfilm.com, as appropriate. Know what is being cast where, and send headshots and notes directly to directors and producers whenever possible, requesting auditions.\n# STEP 8: Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important.

Go to casting calls and BE NOTICEABLE!\nIf you are a great actor, the people looking to fill parts will obviously notice you and use you for a minor part exposing you to celebs and more casting calls even if you don't have an agent.\n\nThe only difference with an agent, they look and book calls for you. They are legitimate and guarantee you a chance to try-out for a part they have booked you for.\n\nBut many actors today didn't have agents when they were up and coming, they got discovered by being noticed (possessing some kind of essence of what they're doing).\n\n\n...but sooner or later, if you get discovered, you're going to NEED an agent.

Experience. If you are of school age, see if your high school or college as a drama or theater department.  Look for a local community theater group and join it.  I promise you that you will have the time of your life performing.  Once you've join a theater group, talked to the director about who in the area teaches acting.   \n\nConsider some singing and dance lessons also, as they are helpful talents for any actor.\n\nLike anything worthwhile, it takes time, practice, and disciple. But unlike most other things, it is FUN the whole time.  Both of my daughters have acted in community theater and are now married to guys they acted with, and my oldest boy is engaged to a fellow actress.  So a local community theater group is an excellent social contact place as well.\n\nI would go on, but I have to leave for rehearsal for "Once Upon a Mattress" opening in August...(Tickets available of anyone who would like to come...)

i would sugest getting an agent first learning about the biz then being your own agent if you would like.\nto be an agent you must know where and when all the castings are and send people to the audtions. \nit would be a conflict of intrest to do both.\n\nmake sure you have your headshot/ comp card and your resume handy and ready to go

IT really depends on what genre your interest is. Start with local talent shows, theatres and do lots and lots of volunteer entertainment for public events, banquets, etc...

Good place to start is to check your state's film office.  They will post casting notices, but only if there is work in your state.  I would also try casting sites like mandy's.com and craigslist.  They're a bit more local oriented too, which is the best way to start since no one is going to pay you a decent amount.  Also check with casting agents, but only if you actually want to act.\nFinally realize extras are treated as though they are props and usually are paid very little for long work days 12+ hours, and generally are disappointed in the paycheck

You need to get as much experience as you can, so keep auditioning and doing local plays.  However, if you want to "hit it big" you're going to eventually have to take a chance and move to New York, Los Angeles, or some other large city with a vibrant entertainment scene.  Why should the industry folks come find you when there are thousands of actors and actresses who've made the commitment to come to THEM?

First off you've got to have adequate funds to attract this person to perform for you. Secondly you must call this person's agent-or simply an agency that deals with stars and their performances. Once you get in that door, the dollars help you get the rest of the way.

take acting classes. Watch out for predatory old guys in floral print shirts. Develop your skills, take care of your mind and body. Don't do drugs, save your money for head shots.\n\nHire an agent. \n\ngood luck.
