Local theaters help you for acting. It helps you get experience. Later on you'll probably want to move to LA, or NY since that's where the most jobs for acting are. There are some acting schools that you could go to, to get training in acting. You'll need to get an agent too eventually, since they'll help boost your career by getting you jobs. Be aware it's hard to land agents.

Modeling is different from acting. You can try getting a modeling agent where you live now, and do some print ads which will help you. Another way which I've heard from a friend who wants to become a model is go to modeling agencies websites. Find their addresses (most are located in NY but some have offices in other cities like Chicago, Miami, Boston). You could send a head shot, full body shot, and other pictures they tel you to. (On some of the websites they tell you how to send in your pictures if you want to become a model). You could even call them up and ask them if you could go ahead and send your pictures.
Other agencies having 'open calls' or 'casting calls' which is basically anyone who lives in that area, to try out and become a model. This is really good because they might sign you to a good modeling contract. It'd be better if you lived in NY since it is one of the fashion capitals of the world.

In general with both of these be prepared for rejection. I don't mean to be harsh, but you'll need to grow a thick skin (especially with modeling). So don't give up, try and try again.
Good luck, and I hope this helps you. If anything message me. :)

well if you've never done either, start out small...i've never modeled but i act.
i just do it at a small theater in my town.
after you get some experience, see if you can find an agent.
and by experience i mean, actually have done the shows.
i dont know any agents, but i know they're the ones that find out where the auditions are and what theyre for.
i also know that theyre expensive.
i dont know if they do both modeling and acting through the same agent.
but make sure you kinda know what you're doing, with acting, before you get an agent. sorry i cant tell you much about modeling.
hope i helped (:

depending on how old you are, it's easy to get into acting, like at local theatres and theatre groups, for instance. I used to act with an orginazation for kids 8-18. Your community will usually have something like this.
As far as modeling goes, if your talking about "runway" type modeling, there are modeling companies that will have lots of profiles of different models, and when a designer needs a specific looking model, the company would give the designer her picture and he would contact her. These modeling companies are in New York, Beverly Hills, LA, and places like that.
If your just talking about magazing modeling, like for JC Penney, you can just go to the store and ask for information on where you can apply.
hope i helped =] <33
