exploretalent.com, starsearchcasting.com, actorsaccess.com, nowcasting.com, & newfaces.com are just some of the websites that you can post your pic & resume on, however they will not get you to hollywood. For commercials (that may be SAG/AFTRA), you'll need a SAG/AFTRA agent. I would suggest taking an acting class in commercial or on-camera. You do not have to get into theatre, but it is a great way to start an acting career, and casting directors love theatre experience. Once you think you're ready, send headshot/resume into a local agency. For more info, read books like Act Now or visit myactingagent.com, actingbiz.com. Good luck!

well you would need to get an agent and have to read a script and have to be in a pre commercial and say alot of stuff.
