I have only been in two plays and auditioned for a few others. I also am taking an improv class. I am not sure what path to take if I want to proffesionaly act and I was hoping I could get your input.
Thanks!

That first answer sounds real mature.
It sounds like you're off to a great start. Improv is great for acting reflexes. Stick with that, but I would look into adding to your class repertoire with one that does scene work and on-camera work. I would also look to build your resume with some student films, indie films, whatever film projects you can to make a reel.
If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.)
Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview.
Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. You can also see if your state has a film alliance. Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre, you can go to backstage.com or http://www.actorsequity.org/castingcall/... If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying.
I don't know where you live so check out every link and see what they may have for you!
Good luck!

Find a good, unique monologue that fits your age.
Practice your cold reading skills. (reading something out loud that you've never read before)
If it's an old play that you can find in the library, read it before you audition.
Use your diaphragm.
Be fearless, and don't take rejection personally.
Always believe in your heart that you will succeed, and if you don't, change your definition of success.
