• Answer:

  Ok... You do realize that it's hard to get in the entertainment industry? Right? Well, try to look for auditions around even as an extra. It gives you good experience and exposure. Agents are also hard to find because they can cost money and there are certain people you can't trust. This biz iz crazy!! But if you're really passionate about it, go fir it. The only person that can make you successful is you. But also keep in mind that you can't just be a pretty face or think you can act. It does look like you have some experience though. When you do go and audition, there is going to be people who won't like you, criticize you on the spot or you're just not what they're looking for. That brings down alot of confidence. But don't let people bring you down. Take that criticism as motivation to keep on going. This industry is pretty harsh if you didn't realize. Also, when you bring out personality, that says that you have alot of confidence. You just got to thicken your skin. Most importantly, don't need the money. If your getting in the biz just for money, you're not going anywhere. Don't expect that your going to become famous right away. You can be the most talent actress in the world and you may have gone to 100 auditions but that doesn't mean you'll become famous. I just telling you the truth. don't expect it to be easy. (I' m telling you this from what I know and personal experiences.) :)
