Begin Acting With These 3 Steps
You can begin acting with these 3 steps. This will help you if you have little to no acting experience.
1. HeadShots
1. To begin working as an actor or model, you need to create an acting headshot. In the video you will learn some essential ingredients that go into creating an effective headshot. Agents and casting directors can see what roles are best for you from your headshot.
1. Resume
1.A. All actors need an acting resume. Even with no acting experience, you can create an acting resume that will grab the attention of agents, casting directors and other industry professionals.

2. Acting Class and Experience
2. The second step to begin acting is to take acting classes and get acting experience. Make sure the class teaches you what you need to know. Try auditing one class. Talk with others who have studied with the instructor.
Try getting acting jobs using online services that send you auditions. And, reach out to colleges, universities and community colleges to find the film classes where students shoot films for their class. This is a great way to get experience auditioning and hopefully working on films.
Market yourself to advertising agencies. Send a headshot and resume to the art or creative directors. You can search for advertising agencies online and visit: AAAA.org. The American Association of Advertising Agencies has a listing of advertising agencies throughout the United States.
3. Finding an Agent
3. Find an agent. You can find agents by doing online searches. In addition to searches, ask other actors in the industry who they recommend. Signatory agents are listed on the SAG-AFTRA website:
SAG-AFTRA.org. Signatory agents have signed contracts with the Union. There are many great agencies who have chosen not to be a signatory agent.
