Getting Started

• Extra Work
  Extras (sometimes referred to as "background" or "atmosphere" actors) are used in almost every movie. They may be a face in a crowd of thousands or someone who fully interacts with the other actors but doesn't have any lines. In either case, you don't have to live in New York or Los Angeles to get this kind of work. Watch for ads in the newspaper or contact your local film commission if you know a production is coming to the area. You might be able to get a few days of work as an extra.
  

• Film
  Independent and Student Films are a great way to get some acting experience. Many student projects and low-budget films cannot afford to hire experienced actors and will hold open calls. You can find auditions for these kinds of productions in trade publications like Backstage or even local newspapers. However, it's a good idea to be cautious when responding to these ads. Take a friend with you to the audition and know what you're getting into.
  

• Theatre
  Almost every city and town has at least one small community theater where local actors gather and put on performances. Take advantage of this opportunity, even if your primary interest is in film and television. Acting changes very little between media.
  

• Get an Agent/Manager
  After building credits and experience doing some or all of the things listed above, you should be ready to find an agent. Unless you live in a major city, this may be difficult. But smaller cities do have reputable agents who submit their clients for commercials and the occasional film.
