Step 2: Get an Agent
- The next step to becoming a soap star involves getting an agent. This will be the person that gets you auditions, so it is important to find one that is best suited for your needs. Some agents are more familiar with soap operas than others too, so keep this in mind as you begin your search. You will want to provide potential agents with:
- Headshots
- Resume listing your skills and training

Step 4: Audition
- Once you have an agent, you should be sent out on auditions. Don't get discouraged if you don't get cast your first time out. It may take awhile to get any sort of soap role. The problem often resides in the fact that you just don't have the 'look' they are searching for at the time.
