Where do i find auditions?
Head shots, an agent, make some tapes or DVD’d of your skills, take acting lessons, voice lessons, learn how to put on make-up and dress yourself, buy Proactive for your skin, take up writing classes, work on your signature, go to casting calls, here is a website for you: www.billdancecasting.com and www.beinamovie.com. I was a film extra and I know how hard it can be. Be prepared for anything and everything.

When you get an agent, he or she, will decide how you are submitted for projects: movies, television, film, soaps, etc. The agent may think you are better for "stage" than "film."
You didn’t include the city where you live. Where you live, will have a lot to do with where to find auditions. In New York City: Backstage newspaper, in Los Angeles, Backstage West newspaper.
Also, actors and friends. If you are not studying acting, register for acting classes.
Acting teachers and students, are good resources for audition information. Also, look in the theater section of your newspaper. Call the community theaters, ask them how you can audition for their plays.
Perform in as many play as you can, so you can get seen by agents.

check the SAG and AFTRA websites for postings. Also, you need to be a member of at least one of those, and keep in mind that if you join SAG, you probably won’t be able to do AFTRA shows, and vice versa.

You need to get your headshots done. 8*10 BW. Agents probably won’t look at you until you join a union like SAG, so you need to get as much experience as possible. You can market yourself though using web sites like http://www.actorsaccess.com.

First to clear up the misinformation – you can be a member of SAG and AFTRA (I am), but most TV work is SAG. I have a reel because I thought you needed one and no one has ever asked to see it, but I still work. The agent only cares about what you’re "right" for because that’s when he gets paid, film, commercial, TV, theatre – they’ll take their 10% wherever it comes from. A manager is the one who is more interested in the direction of your career, but in the beginning, you need to work whenever, wherever you can. Agents rarely go to the smaller theatres where you’re likely to be acting; they don’t have the time. Headshots are now more typically in color, not B/W.
Now, what was your question? Oh yeah. The first step – learn how to act better than you do now, even if you’re great. Get better, stay busy and hope you notice when luck shows up (a lot of people don’t know what it looks like).
