1. First off, decide whether you want to be a professional actor or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on.
2. It's good if you live in a major city. Eventually, New York or Los Angeles will be your destination, but as you build your resume of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities.
3. Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references.
4. Get a headshot photo of yourself.
5. Compose a resume of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays for example) from your resume.
6. Send your headshot and resume 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.
7. Read the trade papers regulary: "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.
8. Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important.
9. And finally, 'persevereance'.
Acting is a tough business, make sure your personality is suited for the ups and downs. If not, amateur theater is also a good way to practice your craft until your ready to step it up. Ignore negative cliches about actors and the entertainment business, and be skeptical of shady services offered to actors; there are many scams that prey on the dreams of actors.
I wish you best of luck on your endeavor!
