Depends on where you are and what you want to do!.

If you are in LA or NYC, I would get the Ross Reports from a theatre book shop downtown!. You can find all that information, as well as ordering it online here: http://www!.backstage!.com/bso/rossreports!.!.!.

The other thing to do is get a copy of Backstage off a news rack (both coasts have them)!. It is a weekly periodical that posts a number of auditions and opportunities for actors!. When I first moved to NYC, I sent my headshot/resume out to every role I fit in Backstage!. It is a lot of non-paid, non-union work, but a great way to boost the resume and meet people!.

Another thing you can do is find casting directors that offer classes or opportunities to audition for local agents!. These are usually paid things, which I try not to do, but I know a couple people that had doors open for them from these auditions!. Just make sure you are getting in front of the agents you want beforehand!.

If you live in LA or NYC you should be able to find a Samuel French bookstore and they carry the Ross Reports!. Otherwise visit Amazon!.com!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
