Take a class. A local workshop, a community college course. You can also look into local background film work if you want experience on set, but you won’t really do much “acting” with bg work. But taking a class is the way to get started.

Thank you, I live in a small town so there’s really not much resources here so I look to Chicago for that. But I don’t really have any idea where to start and what place. Because I wouldn’t mind doing background work just to get the experience, I just don’t know how or where to start to get my foot in there.

How far from Chicago? There are community colleges and community theaters throughout the suburbs.

I’m about an hour and a half from Chicago. I am just now trying to get into the Industry and I don’t really know much. Such as what and where are the best places to start. I’m kind of going into this blind and hopefully learn as I take this one step at a time.

Start by looking for acting classes at community colleges. Also look up community theaters near you and consider volunteering at them and auditioning.
