Hi Scott,
First things first: work on your craft. It's a matter of confidence and numbers, which means the more auditions you do, the more you will practice your craft and get better.
Research carefully (even for the smallest audition) and apply yourself diligently with all your heart. Don't be scared to have that heart shattered in pieces on a regular basis. Persist, persist, persist. Don't be so self conscious as to hinder your imagination and spontaneity.
Be professional in all your ways and respect everyone. That is one of the most important and memorable things that you can actually do for yourself and others. Be honest.
I wish you the best of luck, my friend.
Take care and see you at the movies! :-)

well LA is the typical answer, but there are so many actors just sitting there waiting for their 'big break'. your best bet is to stay put and get known in your local area as an actor, then build on it from there.
good luck

There is no quick overnight process to get known. It takes pounding the pavement day after day. Visiting casting call directors, agents...etc. Why don't you get involved in your local theatre programs or one near you. See if there are any casting directors for movies, commercials etc.. in your area before you decide to up and move. Set small goals for yourself first and work your way up.
