Honey, I hate to say it but that probably won't work. There are so many people trying to break into acting, An agency doesn't need to look for you. You actually have to get out there and find them! Try the old way of doing it and look in the yellow pages under "Talent Agencies." Call them up and see what you have to do. Usually they will have you send in a headshot and resume. If they are interested they will call you in for an interview. Just remember: A good agent NEVER asks for money until they have booked you a job. Also if you don't hear back from the agency, keep building your resume and sending them your new resume and headshot every time you get a new credit.
I know it is catch-22. You need an agent to find work, but agents don't want actors with little or no experience.
Try looking for roles in independent or dtudent films, community theater plays, small commercials, whatever you can do get experience.
Also finding a good acting coach or workshop really helps.

You won't find legitimate acting agencies online. They don't have websites. They do not advertise.

If you are in NYC, buy a copy of The Ross Reports.
Price $10.00. It lists names/addresses of Agents.
You may be able to buy it in NYC at "World News"
the large newstand on West 42 Street, near Port Authority.
It lists names and addresses of The Talent Agencies in New York City.

If you are NOT in NYC, ask your acting teacher for names and contact information for Talent Agencies. Agents want to see that you have a strong resume with a lot of acting roles, preferably leading roles.

i think of you need to get into some community performs. i do no longer understand the place you reside, yet in the Dallas section (the place I stay) there are various community playhouses that are no longer that aggressive (there is no pay in spite of the undeniable fact that, you in basic terms get adventure). The extra performs you have on your resume, the better. in case you desire to be in movies, you need to pass to community universities that have action picture courses and supply your amenities. I guess start up-up filmmakers desire actresses (particularly in case you're able to do it for loose or for terribly low-fee on the beginning up). you need to hunt for classified ads for actresses on craigslist. additionally, Austin has a thriving filmmaking industry, so so you might attempt there for a start up. additionally in case you desire to get right into a sturdy theatre application in college, you need to get a nicely-respected audition coach that can assist you.
