Glorious, if you can't afford a pricey agent right now, I feel net working is important. Is there a local actors guild?

This is basically what I would do when seeking any type of job:

First I suggest a professional resume, biography with photos.

You want to be totally prepared when you walk in to take any audition. Try to find some background information about whom and what you are auditioning for. If you are auditioning for a particular company, be familiar with their work. It can also help you decide which pieces to choose for your audition.

Be confident: Bob Funk once said, "The audition begins when you walk in the door of the theater or into the office of the agency. From the moment you arrive you are being watched." That pretty much sums up the importance of attitude and self confidence.

Welcome auditions as a "fabulous" opportunity to demonstrate what you know as well as a valuable opportunity to grow. With this attitude, each audition will be successful.

Good luck ((Glorious))
