Find an agency!?
Tell me everything!Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: My friend it is very simple!. connections, connections, connections!. Start by going to plays, and musicals, (not movies not many things happen there) Cultural yourself, go to Art Museums, Symphony's network yourself, which can mean carrying a business card!. Take voice lessons, walking lessons, learn, learn, learn!. Most actors have take many classes on making them self perfect!. The main thing isn't skill anymore, but money!. Attend acting camps, go to open auditions even if it is just for an extra!. Get your name out there and talk, talk, talk!. the biggest thing in show biz (and i am sure you heard this before) is who you know, not what you know!. follow your dreams and go for gold!.Www@QuestionHome@Com alright just try doing alot of plays, classes, everything in the entertainment business and once you think you have all the knowledge that can give you good luck, then go to a state that has auditons and audition for a movie/ television show, whatever it is!. just think, yeah it will be odd going to a new state but this might be your state that you start doing your entertainment in!. think about that!. alrightWww@QuestionHome@Com If you're in Atlanta, then you have some good resources!.
