Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well first off, if you REALLY want to do television acting on a professional level, you need to have a professional mindset!. Casting directors want to know how good and committed you are to your talent and how dedicated you will be!. So if you have that attitude, then take my following advice:

1!.) Enroll yourself into acting classes!. You can do theatre in school to start out, but if it's film/tv that you want to get into, look into acting coaches or private classes!. Once you're in a class, harness and develop your talent!.
2!.) Start auditioning for plays, student films, etc!. Don't worry about being rejected either, it happens to every actor!. Just keep up with your auditions and gain as much experience necessary!.
3!.) Make a resume and get some headshots!. Resumes are easy to make, just list your name, union affiliation, phone number, email, basic physical description (hair & eye color, height and weight), your experience, your training, and any other talents or skills you may have (riding a bike, juggling, singing, accents, rides motorcycle, etc)!. For headshots, hire a photographer who specializes in headshots and will walk you through it!.
4!.) Submit yourself to agencies!. For minors, you'll need to have a work permit ready, so if you don't have one, you'll need to get one when you are signed on with an agent!. Send in your resume, headshot, and a cover letter to any agency listed on SAG!.org!. If an agency wants money from you (they'll say different stories why you should pay like "it's for better headshots" or something like that), do NOT sign on with them!. Agents get their money by earning a percentage of whatever you make when you get hired for a movie, TV series, play, etc!. ANY agency who says otherwise is a FRAUD!. So steer clear from them!

There are a lot of other things you should know, but these are the just basics!. As an actor, you need to be talented, professional, and you need to know how to network yourself!. Don't put your hopes into blind luck, like expecting someday a producer will walk by and declare you the star of his/her next blockbuster hit!. I will guarantee you that will NEVER happen!.

*Don't worry about your glasses, there's a little thing called contact lens!. If you're really worried about wearing glasses, get some contacts!. Besides, glasses don't really hurt your chances anyway!.

Anyway, I hope that all helps! Good luck! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Think of getting an agent/manager!. You can also try websites like "talenthunter!.com" where you can post your pictures and see a list of upcoming auditions for major pictures!.

I'm a full time college student, so I can't devote my time to auditions, but I did apply to some things on the site!. I only joined free sites, because I think it's silly to have to pay to audition!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
