It's best to get some experience first.  An agent won't take you on if you're an unknown quantity.  \n\nTake some acting classes.  If you're interested in film/TV, take classes geared toward that.  Do some community theatre, volunteer to be in student films at your local college.  (Ask for a copy of the tape as payment.)  \n\nGet some nice headshots done.  It's good to have the picture printed on postcards, so when you're in a production you can use them to send out announcements to agents/casting directors.  Sometimes they come to showcases.  \n\nAudition for everything.  You'll learn something new every time, and you'll be come a familiar face.  \n\nOnce you have some credits to put on a resume and some experience under your belt, start applying to agencies.  You may get a "Sorry, we have enough of your type/age/experience now."  Don't badger them, but re-apply in six months.  \n\nKeep studying, keep working on the craft, and be a cooperative actor.  Word of mouth is a powerful factor, and if you get a reputation as difficult, it won't matter how good you are.  \n\nBreak a leg!

You do not have to be in Hollywood or New York City to act.  Get involved with local theater groups or high school plays.  It is a great way to get experience and later to become known.\n\nYou do not say where in Michigan.  There are theater groups across southern Michigan.  Get the local experience first before worrying about moving away.

check your newspaper.  sometimes in the classifieds or entertainment sections there are ads for extras, or open auditions.  I think that might be a good way to get started....

Audition. That's how most commercial stars get in. Good luck.

I really think that Los Angeles would be your best bet. A lot of stars were born there and live there currently. For example, Jodie Foster! It also depends on what your wanting to be. A director, producer, actor or actress, film director. Hope this helps you and good luck.

G'day mate, so you wanna work in Australia!! The best places to find work is through recruitment companies such as Hudson, Select, Manpower etc. They have offices in the UK so you can do all your pre-screening before you come to Australia. Most large companies use recruitment companies. Use the internet and do a yahoo search on recruitment companies. So good luck and welcome to "Down Under"

Take lots and lots of acting classes.  Get yourself out to California or New York and try out for some Agents.  The key is to get an agent.  It is VERY hard to become a viable actress/actor without an agent.  Once you have an agent your in.  They'll get you auditions and everything else.  At that point it's up to you to sell yourself.

You will need to submit a "tryout".\nHe will need to show his stuff in a movie.  It can be homemade and saved as mpeg.  Then submit to any number of the companies in the industry.  You should be able to get a list via the internet search engines.\nIf he's got it and they are interested they'll contact him.\nIt would help if he had some action shots.  If you are so inclined to help him out then who knows maybe it will be your new career!\n\nGood luck.

You should contact your local or regional film board, and they'll be able to tell you when and where there are productions scheduled near you. When films come to your area they'll contract with local agencies to provide background talent. The film board should be able to tell you who those agencies are, and they'll announce mass auditions/registrations ("cattle calls") where your daughter can submit a headshot and information. If she's as talented as she sounds, you should also consider trying to find an agent to represent her.\n\n(disclaimer - I'm in the US, but the procedure should be the same in OZ)

You know what I'd do?  Call the talent agencies and ask them who's the best photographer and who has the best recording studio.  Questions, like this, will ferret out who knows their stuff and who doesn't.  Call them all!  Call every talent agency in the city and the suburbs, as well.  This will give you a consensus from which to work.  Next, I would do some creative loitering.  The agencies that came out on top of your poll should be visited by you.  Not in the office, but outside.  They are usually incredibly busy so set aside a little time to talk with the folks coming in and out.  They'll answer any questions you have.  Now, you have some real groundwork completed and have, probably, a better handle on your city's market than most of your competition.  Next, call the agencies back...yes, everyone of them.  Ask them who the best headshot photographer in town is.  Later that day, call them and ask them who produces the best commercials - what studio gets all the best work?  Schedule a sitting with that #1 photographer and ask for a half hour at the studio polled to be the best.  Explain to the studio that you need a half hour for a demo tape.  That's easy money for them.  Tape some commercials off the TV that you enjoy and feel you could do a good job with.  Copy down script and rehearse until your appointment date.  Now, you have a demo tape from the number 1 studio in your city and a headshot from the industry leading photographer.  This is going to take some money and some time, but you're worth it - aren't you.  The answer had better be yes.  Call the top 5 talent agencies in the surrounding area, according to your polling results.  You are armed to the teeth with only the best product, according to them, themselves, afterall, they did the ratings work for you.  Good luck.  You are now setup to be hired for modeling, acting, and voicework.
