I want to start modeling and/or acting, and I was wondering what I need to know.?
I live in the DC area, and I was wondering what I need to know on how to get my career started. Like where I can either find a place to get head shots, or where I can find some classes on acting/modeling.

Those are very different paths… regarding acting, you have to identify a style that you want. A person, group, or company that really make you think “I want to do that”. Find a way to practice with their technique (and i said practice, besides study). practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way. Make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy. Being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish. Welcome! Best of luck!
