Take a few classes at your local community College.





If you are on the west coast create a profile on either http://www.sfcasting.com or http://www.lacasting.com





If you are under 18, create a profile on http://www.gonnabe.com by getting a Screen-Test.





Constantly approach auditions while being yourself, friendly, and charismatic.





Good Luck!

The first thought that came to my mind is that you should check out massify.com. It%26#039;s a free online club where you can upload your resume, bio, photos, interests and link with other folks in the film industry who just may be seeking an actress like you for their independent production. I only know this because I joined it as well a few months ago and have received non-stop connection emails for productions in some facet or another. Good luck.
Reply:One way is to self- promote - consider creating a page on Castedas.com - you can create a profile with photos, videos, and info about all the performances you%26#039;ve been in. This is a brand new social site for actors - just launched.
Reply:First you going to have to go to acting schools for training. Not only one but a couple. Then you should get in local plays, school plays, student films. You could search for auditions on craigslist.com or subscribe to backstage.com The you should get headshots that look like you. Professional headshots are pretty expensive they cost $200-$1000 but on craigslist you could find less expensive headshot that range from $50 to $150. As you get more and more credits on your resume, you may want to go for an agent. An agent gets you auditions and they want people who they think would nail all the auditions they give. If you get a part in an audition. The money you make out of that work you pay 10% to your agent. ONLY 10%. If they ask for money upfront they are a SCAM. Once you get an agent you would start getting a lot of auditions which means more audition. As you make money out of roles you make you may want to get professional headshots. Then in the future you may want to join Union such a SAG, AFTRA , AEA.... HOPE I HELPED
