Answer 2

There will.

Do you want more advice than that?

I don't want to harsh your mellow needlessly, but if you have to ask on Yahoo! answers about whether there are auditions, you don't have enough connections in the industry to take advantage of them.

Here's the reality: if there's a role that a 13-year-old girl could audition for, and you showed up, you'd be competing with dozens of other 13-year-olds who have been working in show biz for eight years or so already. Directors, 99.99% of the time, will prefer experience--and you can't compete. And if there's any chance at all that someone 18 or older can play that part (e.g., LOOKS 13, with or without make-up), then forget it--the directors will almost always want to avoid child labor laws.

Do you really want to work your way into show biz? OK, here's what you do:

1. Right now, find out about nearby community theatre companies and college/university theatre programs (including community colleges). Call each one and express interest and ask to be on their mailing list or any other way you can be notified about auditions. Work with them as much as you can--if there are no auditions, volunteer to work backstage or to gopher for rehearsals. You get experience and contacts that way. (BTW, always do your own school's plays if you can.)

2. Study. Get voice lessons, dance classes, acting workshops. Crack the books and master your academic subjects, especially literature and history.

Now, at this point maybe your contacts in the non-profit theatre may steer you toward opportunities. But probably not, b/c opportunities are rare. More likely:

3. In the junior year of high school, start looking for your college education; you want to identify schools that offer a bachelor of fine arts (BFA) program in theatre. Your school counselor and also your contacts in nonprofit theatre can help. Your goal is to come up with four or five colleges: one or two that are tip-top programs like Yale where it's tough to get accepted, one or two that are selective but not so tough, and one "safety net" school where it's 100% that you'll get in.

4. Senior year, early: apply to those four or five colleges. In many cases, once you're accepted as a student in the university, you'll have to apply and get accepted specifically in the theatre program. In the better ones, you'll have to go to campus (your own expense) and audition. Early application means you don't miss deadlines and it also puts you in line for a little more financial aid.

That's the way 99% of acting professionals start their careers; it's a long hard slog that requires more discipline and stubborn persistence than talent--if you have the dream and never let it go, then the BFA program should give you everything you need to know to make a go of it.
