No, you must have stuied acting BEFORE you audition. You have to know what you are doing, before you can audition. Ask your parents to find acting classes for you in the city where you live.

Very few actors are naturally good without any training. There are a lot of mistakes amateurs make that trained professionals do not. For example, in film you need to know how to hit a mark without looking at it, remembering everything you did from one take to the next, memorizing lines quickly, embodying a character's physicality, etc.
Some actors get the training after they get their first part(s), but that mostly applies to child actors -- they're forgiven for not knowing how to act more, and fewer demands are made on them.

There are no rules. Nothing works for everyone. Almost anything will work for someone. Be honest with yourself about where you are and where you want to be. Self-delusion is probably an even greater problem than lack of training. Be clear about what you don't know. As long as you're honest about where you are, you have a chance to get where you want to be.

I guess anything is possible, but I haven't seen that many roles for rolls. I know "Fruit of the Loom" does some food stuff. . .
