Sorry if this has been posted, it's in the wrong thread, yada,yada,yada.
I want to do commercials. Very good money considering most of the time you get residuals. I want to do many commercials, but if that's not possible,  at least one. Do I have to have acting experience? (I hope not , as there are a few actors who have not taken classes)
Advice, Ideas?
Websites for auditions?
Anything?

Thanks All

it depends..on your experience and your talent. I mean most people don't start off at William Morris or Creative...its not like modeling where you can be a nobody and Ford picks you up.

sag has a list agenicies

A talent agency is more likely to pick you up if you've taken classes(from a reputable establisment) and have no experience...RATHER than having tons of extra work.they really don't care about extra work. Also, I'm a member of sag and for a while it HURT the hell out of me rather than help me. You can't take non-sag jobs and if you're new it sucks.  if you don't have a resume list all the acting classes you've taken and ref.
