These places list auditions that are open calls. However, being under-aged you need to be a little more on the ball.

You will need to get an Entertainment Work Permit. There are labor laws involved for any production with minors involved.

You will need headshots and a resume. You can get info on headshots at http://headshots101.com. That site will be able to answer any questions you have on that.

Then you should get an agent. Because a minor cannot get into a legally binding contract most rolls for people under-aged are not open calls. You can write a good letter and have your parents write a letter saying they support you and are willing to sign binding contracts on your behalf. I would get those things above lined up and start sending out mailers to agents that handle talent under 18.

I hope that ansewrs your question.

Answer 2

For professional auditions in LA you are going to need an agent. See about getting into showcases so you can be seen by agents. Without an agent, you can always look for auditions for indie or student films - try Craigslist or your local newspaper.

Answer 3

you don't say where you live...

but Variety, an entertainment newspaper that's been around forever, lists open auditions all the time!

either you or your parents can subscribe to it...

good luck, eh?!

Answer 4

Ask your parents to find a Talent Manager for you.
