Answer 1

well the best way to get discovered is to start small and buld up your resume, check out your local theater and do as many plays as you can (even behind stage) or do drama at school. Also other great things you can put on a resume are sports do  you sing dance and have you taken lessons? I got started by going to an acting agency near me and taking lessons you have to pay but it's GREAT experience where i went they help you with your acting skills, you got headshots and they helped you make your resume, but if your mom doesn't want to pay you can learn a lot from a drama teacher or a director in a play, you can get headshots (usually actresses get black and white, but i would get color too) and again a drama teacher is the best sorce of information. Once you build up your resume you can start looking for auditions you probably want to start with comericals and then go big like movies, tv and the best way to do that is get an agents when it comes to agents you should NEVER pay, make sure you get an agent who knows you want tv or movie auditions and not something like live theater. Good luck! :)

here is a website to get auditions:

Answer 2

First you going to have to go to acting schools for training. Not only one but a couple. Then you should get in local plays, school plays, student films. You could search for auditions on craigslist.com or subscribe to backstage.com The you should get headshots that look like you. Professional headshots are pretty expensive they cost $200-$1000 but on craigslist you could find less expensive headshot that range from $50 to $150. As you get more and more credits on your resume, you may want to go for an agent. An agent gets you auditions and they want people who they think would nail all the auditions they give. If you get a part in an audition. The money you make out of that work you pay 10% to your agent. ONLY 10%. If they ask for money upfront they are a SCAM. Once you get an agent you would start getting a lot of auditions which means more audition. As you make money out of roles you make you may want to get professional headshots. Then in the future you may want to join Union such a SAG, AFTRA , AEA.... HOPE I HELPED
