In the case of acting, there is no alternative to real experience and training. To enhance your odds of being chosen for a role, you need to develop a resume with solid, tangible roles and education. It would be good to gain acting experience by playing a role in student films. Film departments of colleges and universities in your town are constantly in need of new actors, so try to call them to ask if they're holding auditions. Alternatively, you may participate in plays produced in community theaters.
Find an Agent Choose an agent who meets your requirements and is part of Screen Actors Guild. Reputable agents do not require money upfront, and they seldom advertise their services, primarily because they have no need for it. Agents work on a commission basis. Most take 10% but there are talent agents who ask less so it is best to research prices first.
Stay patient Overnight successes may be typical in Hollywood, but many of those actors who became superstars after playing certain roles have been in the industry for years. In Hollywood patience isn't just a virtue, it is necessary.
