I REALLY love to act,its my passion.I recently went to a interveiw thing with Pro Scout but they said to come back next time they were in town because they wanted to give me a little more time.I really want to act and I was wondering if there is any way i can be exposed living in Oregon.

ok i will tell u read the following.dont forget me if u become a big actress
# 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 résumé 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 résumé 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 résumé.
# STEP 6: Send your headshot and résumé 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.

Start with your local theater groups. If you can practise your skills while you are waiting on Pro Scout to return you will have something to talk to them about - the roles you've been playing, the range and depth of the characters and what has been a challenge and what came easily, etc.
There is major competition in the acting field so if you can carve out a niche for yourself locally you will be at the very least be doing something that you love while you are waiting to be "discovered".
BTW, give Dinner Theater a chance as well not just the local play house.

Virgo,
Move to LA and go to acting school. Wait your time and study. If it's going to happen it's going to happen. Keep your ears open and go to every try out you can.
