Things You’ll Need: * Acting Classes * Resumé software * Resumé paper Step 1: Decide whether you want to be a professional actor (addressed here) or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on. Step 2: Move to a major city. Eventually, New York or Los Angeles will be your destination, but as you build your resumé of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities. Step 3: Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references. Step 4: Get a headshot (see "How to Get a Headshot," under Related eHows). Step 5: Compose a resumé of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays) from your resumé. Step 6: Send your headshot and resumé with a brief cover letter to all the casting directors and agents in your area. Follow up with postcards every four to six months, updating them on your current acting projects. Step 7: Read the trade papers regularly: "Backstage," "Dramalogue," "The Ross Reports" and "Variety," as well as online publications such as newenglandfilm.com, as appropriate. Know what is being cast where, and send headshots and notes directly to directors and producers whenever possible, requesting auditions. Step 8: Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important. Step 9: Persevere. http://www.ehow.com Just keep living....if you dream it---it WILL happen Can't help you with being famous, but you might start by learning to spell. After all, you will need to be able to write a resume and fill out a union application. Start by auditioning for small shows. Does your area have local theatres? They might be a good starting point if you truly want experience and training. Learning to act and how the industry works takes years. People go to college for four years to learn this stuff. And by the way - It will definitely NOT happen just because you dream it. It takes years of work, training, and luck.
