Learn how to act.

It seems obvious, but a lot of women gloss over the importance of acting skills because they're used to getting away with things due to their good looks.

An attractive appearance may help you get certain roles, but don't let that give you the illusion that you're a good actress.

Neglect your acting craft and you will hit a dead end sooner or later.

Study women's roles.

This is especially important if you want to be taken seriously as an actress.

If you don't choose roles carefully, you'll end up becoming just another pretty, replaceable face.

You might have to turn down lucrative roles, but a real actress has to be selective about creating her acting resume and must keep her future in mind.

Learn how to cry on command.

Odds are, you're going to need to play more emotional parts than a man would be asked to.

The extent to which viewers can relate to your emotions has a direct effect on your success as an actress.

Be versatile when it comes to your physical appearance.

Are you willing to dye your hair, shave your head, put on thirty pounds?

Do you really think you'll get the role of an introspective, well-educated librarian if you bounce in with scrunchy blonde hair and pink shorts?

Take pride in your ability, and don't let your appearance get in the way.

Remember that you always need something to fall back on.

Acting is a very competitive business.

Not everyone will make it in the business, so you should always have something you can do other than acting.

Get pictures taken by a professional photographer (they won't be as good if you don't).

You need composite cards and head shots.

Comp. cards have a color picture on one side with your name and 3-4 more pictures on the back with your stats like height, weight, measurements, etc.

Head shots are black and white but must be from the chest up at the most, looking straight into the camera, and it has your name at the bottom.

On the back, staple a resume.

This is a business where looking too good can actually hurt you in that people won't take you as seriously.

Don't be naive, and don't get pulled into a scam by a flattering con artist.

Put your ego aside and see if the opportunity is legit.

Bottom line. You either move to NYC and get an agent, or stay where you are and not get an agent.
Obviously, you can't get an agent until you are older.
