Agents are crooks. Success and talent usually go together. Practice makes perfect.

Sometimes it's not enough if you take yourself seriously. An agent will take you seriously if others take you seriously. You have to develop a track record, and that takes time. "What have you done?" they will ask you, and you have to be able to tell them. Do you have a CD or DVD demo of your work? If so, go to your official State Internet site and look for a State Directory listing "Talent Agencies". If you don't have a demo, have one made! Talk it over with your parents, and your teachers and other singers, and people you have worked with or whom you just plain respect to find out who out there is just plain good and will not rip you off. Then send a demo to the agent with your head shot and a resume'. Don't call them. Let your work speak for itself. If you don't get a reply in two weeks, then you may call and ask if they got the material. If there is no reply after that, try other agents. And don't ever pay anything to anyone up front! Legitimate agents only charge a percentage of what YOU get paid, WHEN you get paid! An interested agent may also suggest you get better photographs, a better resume' form, nicer clothes, etc., but here again, you are not obligated to buy anything from them or give them money. What you are obligated to do is work. Practice. And grow. As a singer, and as a person. Make it a family endeavor. Get your parents to check out craigslist.org. Have them look under "Talent/GiGS" to find local auditions for musicals and music videos. Have them take you to auditions and help you find teachers to develop your experience and gather material for a demo. To show to an agent. And, if you get down, take out your resume and look at it and think about, not just all the things you have accomplished, but what you will accomplish.
I hope this helps.

You know you can be an actress/singer and not be famous or in a movie... Try stuff close to you. Take classes at the high school. Audition to be in the production. Also there are many organizations that offer Acting and Vocal classes/lessons. I go to a place like that every week. Check around your area if there are any theater groups like I described. Usually they put on at least 1 or more production a year for the students to participate in. Community theater is also a great way to get involved. Just look at you options around you.

Keep practicing your singing and perfect your craft.
Stay in school and try to join as many school plays and choirs as you possibly can.
You need all the experience and practice you can get.
I also recommend reaching out to your extended family and asking for direction or support. Don't get frustrated if they shoot you down. Everyone likes to be a critic and you cannot please all people all the time.
Look around at school for a mentor, someone who is older than you, like a teacher or counselor. Ask lots of questions and check out books about acting from the school library. Go online and see if there are any volunteer theater companies in your area. Most screen actors start on the stage.
The most important thing is PERSISTENCE.
This has to be a long term goal for you.
Remember being a professional artist, musician, comedian, or actor is a marathon...not a race. Most of the time the people that get the jobs are the ones who are in the game the longest.

If no one takes you seriously, an agent will not take you seriously. Join the drama department at school. Take acting classes.
Call the Community Theater in your city (ask your parents permission) and ask if they ever have roles for someone your age.

Go to school. Study hard, with the best vocal teacher you can get. And take acting classes. And dance. And stay in the moment. Don't future trip. You won't enjoy the entire process if you don't enjoy the trip. Your voice is going to change and you need to be well trained to deal with the changes when they occur. All my best.

John Robert Powers is a great place to start they coach you on acting and what to expect at auditions. My 3 children have been training for 6 months and have done really well. They even had call back from casting directors. If you are really serious I say give them a call they have office's all over. But it's not free there is a cost.

I consider the countless different answerers. Write a letter to him, write all which you're feeling, the wear and tear, the longing of wanting his attractiveness, and so on... and additionally the sturdy stuff. end the letter with "i would be unable to permit this injury overtake my existence." once you get to his grave, or able you sense gentle, study it out loud and then rip it up.

Don't do it! Have you ever heard of Brittany, or Anna Nicole? It ain't worth the price you'd have to pay, gal.
Mark 8:36 (New Testament/KJV)
For what shall it profit a man, [or girl] if he [she] shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
