how is there no chance!?
you dont even know this person!
they might be like an amazing actor
and to the asker just do community theater plays and eventually get an agent!.

P!.S - dont let jerks like that get in the wayWww@QuestionHome@Com

Hollywood Acting is based on about 15% talent, 85% luck!.

Basically, your best bet is to start off in community theater and independent films until you've built up your resume a bit!. Then, if you're sure you've got the necessary talent, find a good talent agent!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have to be good!. You have to have the look!. Get your self an agent in your city!. Start in local commercials so that you get the feel for it and all the basics down!. Then when you are feeling adequit then you can try and get some bigger sopts!. When your ready pack up and move to hollywood!. Find another agent and hope for the best!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yea i want to be one two but uhhh if your still in school you should join the drama teams and movie maker stuff if you have that and uhhh you should not sit back and wait for some one to help you, you should try to help your self look trying to be in plays look around on the internet for stuff like actingWww@QuestionHome@Com

would strongly recommand you to take acting classes either at your school (Theater classes, or Drama Club)!. Get involved!. If your school doesn't offer that, see if there are local Theatre Groups/Workshops that you can attend!. (You can either find them in newspapers or online)!. You can't really call yourself an actor until you are trained in the craft of acting, right!?

In order to submit or attend an audition, you will need the following:

1) Resume
2) Headshot
3) Talent Agent (If you're looking for legit works)

It is at your classes or workshops, that you will learn more about the business in acting!. Develope your own network, or even, from your classmates, you'd get a referral to see their talent agents!. - But do as much work as you can - audition for location theatre productions, student films, indie films!.!.!. you name it!. This will help you develope a good actor resume!.

For headshots - I would just suggest you to find a friend, with a good camera and take a neutral photo of you from the shoulder up!. (Do not spend $500+ for professional photos, unless you're already in the Union and have done a bunch legit works) As a starting actor, a good quality headshot is enough!. (My first headshot is the one I took of myself in the bathroom - and I landed a national commercial) Once you are signed with a talent agent, he/she will recommand a reasonable priced photographer to you!. (But make sure you do a research on the agent and the photographer first!. check out http://www!.easybackgroundcheck!.com)

To find an agent - well, google for them, check out local newspapers!.!.!. The world of mouth is the best way!. My first agent that I freelance with was though referral from another actor while we were on a filmset as background extras!! Remember, network, network, network!!

Once you have a good resume, a decent headshot, and a talent agent (or manager) to represent - then that's where you tell your agent/manager to look out for any breakdowns or auditions what would be suitable for you!.

Good Luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you and me both! you're probably competition, but then again, I've yet to move to so cal!.!.!. so, this is what I know so far

film acting is different from theatre, READ Acting for the Camera by Tony Barr, and Acting Professionally by ___ Cohen!.!.!. its a lot of good solid info you will need (I know youll need it because now that I have it, I feel much more confident)

And yes, audition as much as possible!.!.!.

When I called to audition for my first indie, I was scared as hell!.!.!. I had to write a little script of what I needed to say on the phone, and I seriously used it (I got the part!!)

read everything (i love reading seriously, people dont read enough) about fitness, you now you need a killer bod!.!.!. you can use www!.bodybuilding!.com they have a lot of free useful articles
and start eating healthy
and SAVING MONEY to spend in los angeles

yeah, get a friend to take some headshots, google headshots and find some good examples of what you need

be in tons of productions, look for auditions on craigslist

also, read about body language, and human pyschology, you will need to have a perfect image or you wont sell, and if you dont sell, hollywood wont want you

and above all

YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

THE GUY ABOVE ME WHO POSTED THAT YOU HAVE NO CHANCE- HES A D*CK, SCREW HIM!.!.!. DONT LISTEN TO ANY OF THAT
you want it, you go get it, no one will help you but you

but you can't be stupid either, and you have to accept the fact that you simply may not make it, so seriously have a fallback career and get a degree

oooo also, read the art of war, you can find that for like 5 bucks in a bookstore!.!.!. seriously that book will change your life, it will show you how to plan for everythingWww@QuestionHome@Com

You must be talented & incredibly hot
