As an aspiring actress with no experience, you should also do some study to understand what goes into making a great actress. Find a local acting class at a theatre near you. If you are serious about this dream, join a professional acting class.
In as much as novices still get some acting work, you can gain nothing if you remain inexperienced and under- educated. Acting classes will refine your skill. You should also read such books as:
- Richard Boleslavsky’s ‘Acting: The First 6 Lessons’
- Marina Calderone’s ‘Actions: The Actor’s Thesaurus’
- Viola Spolin’s ‘Improvisation for the Theatre’
- Michael Shurtleff’s ‘Audition’
- Sanford Meisner’s ‘Meisner on Acting’
- Uta Hagen’s ‘Respect for Acting’
- Constantin Stanislavsky’s ‘An Actor Prepares’
