Answer 1

        There must be agencies in the major cities of Michigan.  The agencies will submit you for local commercials or corporate videos or other things like that.  And they will send you for major tv/film productions shooting in Hollywood.  If/when that happens you can go to a place that records your audition (for about $40) and sends it to the casting director or you can set up a video camera and tape it yourself.  

You would only have to go to Hollywood for a final audition (if the project was large) and to film the project.  The production company pays for your flight.  You would need to bring a parent/uncle or aunt/family friend along to stay with you on set at all times though.

Answer 2

you could do a few different things.

1) go to a website where they show listings to be an extra in movies. starting as an extra can help you get your foot in the door.

2) i've never been to michigan, but it's supposed to be a big college state. try auditioning for youth roles in plays at the colleges.

3) be in all of your school plays, even if you're just on stage crew. you can still put involvement on your resume.

4) get an agent.
