I'm 14 and Ive been acting for my whole life!.In order to get auditions you need a resume!.A resume is your ticket to getting an agent/casting director's attention!.Here is a link for ever thing you need to know about resumes http://www!.actingbiz!.com/articles/your_a!.!.!.
Here is an example of a resume!.http://www!.actingbiz!.com/articles/resume!.!.!.

You have to send your resume out to agents and casting directors!.You should get an agent to help you find work!.!.When the agent finds you work,he/she gets 10-15% of what you get payed!.If they ever ask you for money up front then its a scam!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

OK, well wanting to act isn't enough!. You have to LIVE for it!. And, you can't just magically become famous!. You have to get an agent thats connected in Hollywood!. To get an agent, you have to build up your resume and do lots of community theatre and do independent films (i know you dont know what that means, look it up!.) Your resume has to have at least 7 credits for theatre and about 5 credits for film to even get CONSIDERED for a major agency!.
