Get an agent, they're not gonig to come looking for you unless you tell them to. 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.
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. It wouldn't hurt to end these out when you have a show about to open then you can invite them to come see you perform. Ask the box office if they will comp industry people or if you have to pay for their tickets. If anyone comes, you should pay for their tickets if the venue won't comp them.
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.
Good luck.
By the way, yes John Robert Powers is a SCAM. Here are just a few of the stories I found:

Well you could always just find simple auditions and try out for those or you can go to the bigger auditions and try those. The other day on doctor Phil they had a thing for kids to be discovered as actresses or actor so write doctor phil. I mean you might have to start out small.
Hope it helps

You don't just get discovered. You work at it, you take every job you can get and you never stop working towards your goal. You should take classes on a regular basis and just work on your skills on a regular basis. Even taking a beginner dance class is something that can help. Just take every outlet you can.

I honestly don't know. I would just keep acting. Maybe if your plays get big they may go to Broadway and you might be discovered that way.
