RUNAWAY FROM JRP! They are well known scammers who only want your money. The audition is a joke. You could go in there and not say a word and you'd still "make it". Someone will call your mom and tell her 'Congratulations! Your daughter is one of four that we've decided to take from that group" which is a lie. They'll call everyone and put on high pressure sales tactics and try to make your mom feel like if she doesn't put out all this cash TODAY, your opportunity will pass right on by... All LIES!
If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.)
Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview.
Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. You can also see if your state has a film alliance. Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre, you can go to backstage.com or http://www.actorsequity.org/castingcall/... If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying OR you can go to your local bookstore or newsstand and look at their print publication (new every Thursday) for free.
If it's acting you're interested in, you really need to get involved in acting now in any way you can. School plays, drama class, local theatres, etc. Take classes and workshops if you can, but anything you can do to get involved would be great. Just go for it!
Good luck!

John Roberts Powers makes the majority of its money from its training center rather than its agency department. They will ask you your height, weight and age, as well as some measurements. They will also ask about your interests. Be prepared to talk about why you want to become a model and/or actor. And in the end, they will likely try to find out whether or not you can afford their classes.
Break a leg!

I went to a audition at JRP. They ask about what T.V. shows you like, any experience, and why you want to get into acting. But, I strongly recommend you not to go there because you have to pay a lot of money for classes, and they do too much advertising. The legitimate agencies don't really need to advertise, and they don't require money. I wasted my time going!!!
