-Continue taking acting, singing, and dancing classes- a casting director wants a well-trained actor.
-Search for auditions in your local newspaper and on websites like my acting agent, actors access, star search casting, explore talent, now casting, and new faces.
Hope I helped! Good luck!

With resumes, you always want to put your most impressive section first, so right now, you would not begin with your list of shows. You'd list your training; include all relevant classes at school, if any, workshops, and private lessons or coaching. Dance training goes here too. This is the sort of thing that you can do in a small town until you get the opportunity to move or go away to college. Once you start acting wth companies, the best way to bui;d a resume is summer stock: two or three months and you add three or four or more plays to your resume.

for heaven's sake, do not fall for those on line casting listings, they will not help you a bit and they will wind up costing you money if you are not careful. You can't get an agent until you have sufficient experience and training and you have to live near enough the agent to make the auditions they get you. So keep taking your classes, be in all the school plays and speech and drama stuff, and when you graduate you can move to where the action is.
