Answer:
Well there are several ways. One: Get an agent. An agent will have you go on auditions for roles that you are suited for. Two: Look for local things. Look on websites that post open calls in your area. Usually you will be asked to submit information like a headshot and resume and then be called in for an audition. Good luck! Remember you can still get solid work even if you don't live in NY or LA. I have a friend who lives in Iowa and has been in a Disney channel movie and numerous commercials.
