Acting Career-

Hi, star_gazer. You should look into acting classes in your town. They might be offered at a community theater or other local arts group or school.

You can also look into auditioning at local theaters. Some theaters keep a mailing list of people who are interested and will send you a notice of upcoming auditions. The information is also likely to be posted on the theater's website.

Getting an agent is tough until you have some experience. I suggest working on getting experience first. Same thing for a resume - you need to work on getting some credits to list...
