I'm an aspiring actress, I sing and act in many school plays such as Oliver, Annie and Your a Good Man Charlie Brown and wish to extend my acting carer. How do I get a manager?

Like any job, those easiest to get aren't worth it. Go after the best, and if you have to resort to a bottom feeder you can be sure they are hanging around looking for refused talent. Good luck!

This organization monitors Talent Managers: http://www.ncopm.com/
National Conference of Managers:
Look below to see if there is a manager in your city:
http://www.ncopm.com/html/membership.htm
Mail a cover-letter, acting résumé and headshot. Unlike Talent Agents, High-profile Personal Mangers, don't seek actors, they are referred by the agent of an actor or an actor client.
A Personal Manager can help you get an agent, if he thinks you are ready for Agency representation.
Talent Managers are NOT FOUND on Monster.com! Monster is NOT a website for ACTORS!
Talent Managers work with NON-UNION and UNION actors! Mail a cover-letter, résumé and headshot. That's all you have to do. If interested the Manager will contact you.
A Talent Manager is a professional engaged in advising and counseling talent and personalities in every aspect of the entertainment industry.
A Talent Manager works closely with their client in every facet of their career and acts in conjunction with their client's agents, publicists, business managers, attorneys and others.
As an important member of the team, the talent manager functions as facilitator and coordinator of the efforts and activities of the talent's entire team.
Many actors choose a Talent Manager over a Talent Agency, because it is easier to get a Talent Manager, than a Talent Agent.
Talent Managers are NOT concerned with whether an actor is Union or Non-Union. That is a reason Talent Managers, work hand-in-hand, with Talent Agents.

When finding a talent agent or manager. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER give them any money up front. Before you have a PAYING job. Before you get that lucky break. Casting Agents get those catalogs in the mail. They use them to prop open the exit door!!!
A real agent will represent you if they believe you have a chance to land the job and be paid to preform.
Never believe these "we can get your photo before someone that might maybe possibily could get you a movie tv commerical theater job"
good luck and keep clear spartancaver

Make money.
If your cover letter states you are already making $20K a year without an agent or mananger one will pick you up and probably do better with you.
Understand, however, they usually like you to be Union eligible or in the Union.
Non union gigs don't pay enough to make it worth their while.
