What you have to do is what's called "pounding the pavement," that is, go from one agent to another until you're accepted. (It's alright to be accepted by more than one agent, but one should be sufficient.) However, first you need black-and-white photos of yourself--head shots preferably, and typed information about yourself (including name, age, address, phone #, and a brief description of your experience), to take along and leave with each agent. But be warned! Not all so-called agents actually are. A true, honest agent will never ask money from you. It is their job to find work for you, from which they get paid. So try to find out something about each agent before you apply--their reputation, to make sure you're not ripped off or deceived. If you don't live in or near a big city--which is where you'll find most of the agents--then it becomes harder. You'll have to find out their addresses, then mail them the photo/info packet, with a polite--not begging!--letter asking them to take you on.
But, since you're minors, you HAVE TO have your parents' permission, which I assume you already do. And, as a protection for you, make sure one of them always goes along with you to an agency or interview.

Simple reply, a few do now and a few do later....

They can inform you that you simply ought to pass to a distinctive performing train or use a distinctive photographer to get new headshots. About ninety five% of the time if they're insistant that you simply use simplest those persons they're getting a few kind of kick go into reverse of it. This is the intent why, if you are watching for a theatrical agent, you ought to discover one that's sanctioned through both SAG or AFTRA or each! Those unions have instructional materials in location that state that an agent would possibly simplest take a particular agreed upon percent after the performer has been paid. They additionally cannot call for you utilize a particular trainer or photographer as a groundwork for no longer repping you. An agent presents a carrier to guide you, and like several offerings you're going to must pay for it finally. But if you happen to part with an AFTRA/SAG agent, a minimum of you already know that fee would possibly not be popping out of pocket. Best of success!
