<div align=justify>Well you've decided that you want to be an actor, and really want to make a go of it. You realize it's going to be a lot of work and that it won't be easy. Here are a few tips to help you on your way. <BR><BR>First, get a computer. You'll need one when you start writing your resume, for scanning your headshots and to search for work. Create a website for yourself, something as simple as johnsmith.com will work. This is where you can really market yourself. Post your headshot and resume on it. Include some audio and video clips. Include your latest jobs on it. Make is as professional as possible. Make sure you include this web address on your resume. <BR><BR>Don't let one day go by that you don't actively search for work. There are many sites online (which is one of the reasons you have that computer) for you to check, Playbill, Actors Access and Craigslist just to mention a few. <BR><BR>Stay close to where the acting jobs are. Join a theatre group or acting company. This is a great way to remain fresh in your acting and also a great way to network, you never know who knows about a job that could be great for you. Continue taking acting classes. They always help and look good on your resume, and again, a great way to network. <BR><BR>Make sure you have a variety of monologues prepared. Also, always carry a copy of your resume and headshot with you. It's also a good idea to have your resume, headshot and cover letter ready to be mailed whenever a potential part comes up. </div>
