Believe it or not, if you are actively pursuing an acting career, your career starts with an audition. Not with acting school, not with finding a talent management agent or agency, and definitely not with landing your first gig as an actor. At this point, you might be greatly confused, but this is simply because an audition is where directors are looking for talented individuals that will be perfect for playing a part in a television commercial, television show, or possibly a movie.
Because acting auditions are held on a regular basis and all over the country, you need to seek out and hire a good agent or agency to help you seek out and find these opportunities on a daily basis. If you want to fly solo, you can usually find this information by reading the local newspaper or national newspapers.
If you are planning on attending a particular audition, make sure that you don't overdress, but dress neatly and casually. Make sure that you get there early, not just on time, so you have time to scope out the studio, get familiar with its surroundings, and relax before you are called to perform.
At the audition, when your name is called, immediately head over to the director and give him or her your headshot and resume and then take care of business. Be prepared to do a one or two minute monologue and then read from a script. After you are done with that, you will then be interviewed. Try to relax and not show any emotion in your responses.
If you are accepted, good for you! However, being accepted doesn't guarantee that you have the part. Once you are accepted, you join a smaller group of individuals who have also been accepted and need to be examined by the network executives. One benefit of being accepted is the fact that if you don't get the part you were auditioning for, you will most likely be offered a supporting role in the feature or one of the extras.
If this happens, it shouldn't discourage you in the least. You shouldn't ever forget that this is how most actors get started in the industry before they are given the chance to play a main role. After the project is completed, you can add this to your resume, strengthening it for the next gig you audition for.
Obtaining a main role is not an easy thing to do, however, with lots of practice, a good talent management agent, and endurance; you can become the actor that you want to be.
