audition for musicals, or audition for school plays, or try taping yourself doing a scene, and send it to producers!, or you could really go for that audition on your school! =) =)

Is there a local drama group anywhere near you? Even amateur groups are a good place to start and talented actors are often ’spotted’ in amateur productions.
Most colleges run courses in drama which would give you a good starting point. Failing that, and depending on how serious you are about your chosen path, you may have to move to somewhere that offers you more opportunities.

There are a ton of great books. Try Milton Katsales book called, Dreams Into Action. It’ll rock your world. Also, try An Actor Prepares, and Building a Character. Ute Hagen was a great author/teacher in the subject as well. Also, is a great site to see what’s happening in your area. If you are serious, get involved in local theater for a short time to try it out, then if you fall in love with acting, hit the road. There are only 2 places to be for acting, New York or L.A…. break a leg. P.S. I moved to LA a year ago to do the same thing:) It’s a HUGE hustle, but well worth it!
