    Here are some steps on getting into acting:

    -Take acting classes, and audition for anything: plays at local theatre, casting calls, etc.

    -Make a resume full of training, experience, awards, and special skills that you have. View samples

    -Get a good headshot either from a photographer or have someone take a nice pic of your face with no background clutter.

    -Join/Read websites like Explore Talent, Star Search Casting, Actors Access, Now Casting, and New Faces. (You can find auditions on these sites, and don't neccessarily have to pay)

    -Submit to agents/agencies and casting directors - don't forget to read books like Act Now and remember to research!

    -Network! With film makers, producers, casting directors, managers, agents, and other actors!

    Hope I helped! Good luck with your career!

    Well if you are in high school,I advise you to go out for plays.Also if your parents don't mind driving you try out fo community theatre.As far as movies look out for open casting calls and extra stuff.When you think you are ready I would get a professional head shot and get an agent to market you.
