Answer 1

This is what you need to do:

1. Do school plays, community theatre, sing in choir, take acting classes at school, etc.

2. A year or so after that, after building a reputable name in the community, do local print work or commercials.

3. Once you have commercials or print work circulating, build up a resume, and get some good pictures of you (headshots are good, but not a necessity at this point), and send them out to local talent agencies.

Look here for agents:

4. In 4-6 weeks, if the agency is interested, they will contact you, go in for your meeting/audition, hopefully you will then be signed.

5. Then you can do bigger things like regional/national commercials & print work, and possibly small roles in film or television.

6. Build yourself up doing work like this, until you get bigger roles in more high profile projects.

7. Once you have a name in the business, you should be able to switch agencies to one of the bigger ones like CAA, William Morris, Abrams Artist, etc.

8. Work on major motion pictures and television series.


Also, take into account what Theatre Doc has said.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You would not be able to work in the US even if you got here, as you need a working visa for that and can only get it in certain fields and acting is not included. . Sorry about that, kid, it is the reality of the situation;

Answer 3

what you need to do is start with theater then work your way up..........after that you need to put together a resume(theater looks really good on resumes) and travel to america to find an agent.....after you find an agent the agent will help you find auditions you would like to go on..........good luck!!!!
