I'm in the same position あなた are. I would 愛 to be a successful actress (although I'm trying to be realistic and I'm not counting on anything; I'm a good actress, but not amazing, and my parents don't exactly support my passion). However, my brother is a professional actor (not at all famous または anything, but definitely professional), so I might have some tips.
-Have access to either NYC または LA. It can be tough, but many serious actors do live in quieter parts of the country who fly in to NYC または LA for auditions, workshops, classes, etc., and are willing to temporarily stay in the city if they are cast.
-Get an agent. あなた will need it. Trust me. (Or a manager is fine too, although agents are usually better because they have better connections.) Many people will not even see あなた for an audition if あなた don't have one. They need agents (or managers) to send in your information to the casting directors, and then if interested, they will book an audition for you.
-Take classes! There is always room for improvement, and the 芝居 world is extremely competitive! Also, it helps because あなた make connections and work with important people, または let important people see your talent. Besides the fact that you'll make plenty of new フレンズ (which is always a plus! :D) あなた will get to know もっと見る people in the industry, which can make a huge, HUGE difference. The もっと見る connections あなた have, the better!
-Get a professional headshot. The headshot must 表示する the real you. Of course it's fine to look nice, but don't make it a super-dolled-up version of you, barely recognizable. Make sure あなた can tell that it's really you!
-Build a resume. あなた say you've only been in two shows because there isn't much around you. That's fine, and another reason to take classes! On your resume, 一覧 the shows you've been in (and what parts you've played) along with classes you've taken, talents あなた have (can あなた sing? dance? juggle? etc.), and whatever あなた do, don't lie, または even exaggerate the truth!
-Also, あなた can go look at big 芝居 websites/magazines such as Backstage, Actors Access, etc.
Good luck! :D
