Answer 2

You need to educate yourself.  Acting is not a profession that people just walk into off the street anymore.  Most professional actors have college degrees--generally, a BFA (bachelor of fine arts) or even MFA (master of fine arts).

And most auditions are closed to anyone who's not a union member.  If you visit the unions' websites (Actor's Equity, SAG, AFTRA), you'll see that you can't be a member unless you've worked in professional productions.  See the difficulty--you have to work in a professional show to be a union member, but auditions for most professional shows are open only to union members.

So your best route would be to go to college, earn a BFA in theatrical performance to hone your talents and to also teach you the business end of show biz--and then you'll be ready to start clawing your way through the hard slog of starting an acting career.

BTW, one important warning--there are some people who will claim to be show biz agents.  They'll watch you auditioning for them, be breathless at your talent, and offer to start your career for you if you pay them a nice fee.  (Some don't require a fee but they do require you to get acting lessons at their school, or head shots from their "exclusive" photographer.)  These people are scam artists; legitimate agents won't consider you unless you're a union member, they don't make any money until they collect a percentage of your pay from acting jobs, and they may refer you to one or several acting schools or photographers but they won't require them.
