How Can I Become a Succesful Actress?

Question

I'm a fourteen year old girl, who has always aspired to be an actress. I practice monologues and I'm in alot of school plays, but how should I actually begin a real acting career, with an agent and the like? I live in Ohio (I know, not exactly the best place for acting, ha) and I'd like to know the first steps to getting noticed, and starting an acting career. Thank you in advance! Any links or such would be much appreciated.

Here's what you need before looking for an agent, or anything like that. You need a headshot, a school picture will work, or you can crop a good picture you have of yourself already, but if you're really serious, you can hire somebody for a professional photo shoot. Just google it, you'll figure it out. wear a solid shirt with no logos or patterns for the photoshoot. Also no black or white. All of those things look terrible on camera. Next you need a resume. Even if all you have is school plays, you still need a template that includes theater, film and other experience and any training that you do. Also put special skills, which can be just about anything you can do well, so if you can say, swing a golf club well, use that. Then write a professional sounding cover letter you can put in email and normal mail with your headshot and resume. Finally, you need a 1:00-1:30 monologue to present at auditions. Not sure what the ones you practice are Some of them don't have material presented for you, you need a couple of those, one comedic, one dramatic, go to a bookstore and ask for monologue books, there's a lot of them. DO NOT write your own. Other than that, good luck and if you don't get an agent, the newspaper and internet can be a good place to find auditions. I also recommend taking a class at a local agency. To get noticed, you have to be reliable and good, but I'm sure you'll get it down. Good luck!
