take classes then get an agent. go online and read about some of the best agencies (Kazarian Spencer &Associates, ACME, Coast to Coast) and then send your headshots and your resume (which won't have much but that is fine) . or you can go to LA and audition in person for them (on their websites it will say something called "Open Call" depending on which agencies have them. take your headshot, resume, and have a monologue and everything.
if you take classes you can ask your acting teacher about all of this. research where in your area and ask around.

Hi,
I have a couple things that might help you out.
First, you might want to have a look at is this page: http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/how_to_get_an_agent.html . It takes you through a process that I used to get two agents and a personal manager in a short period of time.
You can also submit yourself for jobs online: Here is a list of websites through which you can submit. It's not as good as having an agent, but I have gotten some audtions and jobs this way. I use nycastings and actorsaccess mostly. I have found that with two or three of these sites, I'm pretty much covered with regard to the important auditions that are out there. Once you start checking too many different sites, you find that there is a lot of repetition.
www.actingdepot.com
www.exploretalent.com
www.actorsaccess.com
www.backtoholding.com
www.bigbreakny.com
www.castingnewyork.com
www.easycasting.com
www.actormarketing.biz
www.nycastings.com
www.backstage.com
www.lacasting.com
I don't know where you are and if these sites will be helpful for you, but at least now you know what kind of resources that there are out there.
If you are brand new, then I have another resource you might find interesting to help you get your career started in acting:
I have created a 28-page ebooklet that takes you through the first steps. Just go to http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/acs-blog.html , sign in on the right side of the page and you can download it for free. It's called: What It Takes To Become An Actor.
Hope that helps!

If you have an agent, the agent will submit you for auditions. You don't need to find auditions as that is the role of the Agent.
