List your previous acting work in your resume. Show the productions you have been a part of and denote whether you were supporting or a lead actor.
Get professional headshots taken. Invest in make-up and hair stylists to make sure you look your very best. Your portrait will be your calling card to casting agents and producers.
Read casting call periodicals and websites regularly for commercial auditions. Set aside time every day to pursue your acting career.
Arrive at auditions prepared. Memorize your script and dress the part. If you are playing a young parent, don't show up dressed like a biker.
