Hey Josephine! The best thing to do if you plan on coming to the USA (besides getting a green card and etc) is decide where you want to start. Basically you should choose between New York and Los Angeles. If you are looking to be in more movies/tv than theater LA is your place but if theater is more your thing (and a little bit of tv/movies) New York is best. Once you've decided where you belong you should start building your resume and consider getting an agent (which is absolutely free! =)). The best way to build up your resume is start with what experience you have. You should include the commercials and "Stuff" that you've been in. You should also get involved with community theater and acting classes. Basically, the more experience/training you have the better chance of getting noticed. It may seem like once you get here everything is going to be fine but even though you may be talented there are millions of people that are in America who have your exact dream. Don't let anyone drag you down in this business. I wish you the best of luck, Josephine!

P.S. Try this website for auditions/resume help actinginfo.blogspot.com

I'm not sure if you're interested in the Disney market but it's a good resume builder if you get the job (that website is all Disney auditions).

Good luck again and sorry about the length!

ok first off the business will be much harder than it seems. u need the patience, time,and money to do something like that. new york city  (broadway) is known for stage plays and film acting in Los Angeles, CA...i would save money for a certain amount of time, (money converter), find an agent, and look for a regular job immediatly to pay bills if u rent an apartment, and oh yeah, BE AWARE of SCAMS and FRAUDS!!! good luck sweety!

Answer 5

you will need a green card to work professionally.  Becoming an actor is a long long process that can be very costly.
