I really like acting and have been doing it for a while. I want to get into the industry but it is hard to find legit auditions that don't have over a thousand kids auditioning without an agent and to get an agent you need to first mail in headshot/resume and then they might call to set up an interview. The problem is that agencies receive so many applications they randomly throw away about 92 % of them and then look at that 8 %.so i am wasting paper and chances are if i send a hundred of them , Only 8 will be looked at by an agent and I might not be that face they are looking for. So it is a cycle. How do I start in this industry.( please don't say buy a handbook or just perform in theater and ill get around cause it is not working)

Maybe give some free advice about: Doesn't Fit Any Of These Categories?
Well, do you have experience in acting? If not, I suggest you put the acting industry on hold for awhile. When I say experience, I mean doing local plays, commercials, etc. It's a higher chance that you'll be chosen if you have experience. I am an actress and I learned that the hard way, haha.
Good luck and take care,

I have a friend that was a background player for movies...IF you want to be an actress you have to pay your dues...you can be on the outside going, well I have to do this, and I have to do that...either you want to be an actress with every fiber of your being, or your just some whiney little human, who complains, and says, negative things, about what you've heard, or how you think things are...whats wrong with summer stock or theatre? I don't know if you've noticed, but there is a lot of reality shows out here, in lala land where I live...a lot of my friends were character actors, Ive assisted some actors myself in my work history, you have to have that "SOMETHING" its not for everyone...you just have to pay your dues, SORRY..you cant have it your way...advice? grow up,stop whineying, and start doing what ever you can, until someone spots you...and think outside of the box...doing commercials is a good way to start a lot of actors started out that way...good luck
