In order to walk into any audition big or small, you need a resume and headshots. This tells the casting team how much experience you have, what kind of experience you have, and what you look like. A theatre resume is very similar to a career resume or CV.

You only need one set of clothes and a plain backdrop.

However, you can go the professional route and get a series taken, too. Start looking for local open auditions and casting calls. If you live in a big metropolitan area, there are probably casting calls and auditions held at least semi-regularly. The best way to find these auditions, though? Talk to people you know. You could swamp yourself in casting calls and auditions, but why do that when you should spend time honing your craft or making actual money?

Have someone do the paperwork side of things for you — an agent. That way auditions sort of land in your pocket — you just have to get the role. And a good agent is free. Do not pay them before you land any gigs.

They only get money when you get money. With an agent and a list of open auditions or an audition with your name on it , all you can do now is attend.

Sign up for an audition. If you do find a casting call you want to attend, you'll probably have to sign up. They have a finite amount of slots and a finite amount of time to get through everyone, so you'll need to let them know you're coming. This assures that you get a spot, too. Some casting calls sign up the first, say, 5, people, and then everyone else is welcome to come, but not guaranteed they'll get seen. Don't be one of those people.

You don't want to waste days of your life preparing for the audition and waiting in line and then not even having one. Alternatively, make an audition tape. Many TV shows rely on the Internet, too. Check out their policies online. Find the submission deadlines, length requirements, and any other stipulations you have to meet.
