you are only 11!!! wow, you need to talk to you parents about acting and auditioning for things. You don't just get the script and send it to the auditioner. Just Talk to your parents and they will help you. Good Luck! :) BTW

I don't fuly understand your question but I will try to answer. The audition info is below, but the script thing threw me off. There's a service called Showfax where you can get sides (script pages) that you will need for you audition, but I don't get the part about where to send it to?

Maybe your sister and your parents can help guide you here, but no matter your age, you need support from your family and friends. Being under age you absolutely need to have the full support of your family because they not only need to sign off on your contracts and be your advocate (be fully aware of all child labor laws and help uphold them while you're on set) but they need to drive you to all your auditions and stay on set with you at all times or hire someone to be there with you).

The next thing you need is training. If you're not already, you need to get into classes ASAP. Acting classes, voice lessons and dance classes. Then you need to get involved in theatre. Get a few roles on your resume then start trying for some student films and independents (info to follow). Most agents will not consider you unless you have training and credits. You said you have experience, but it needs to be fairly substantial to catch an agen'ts eye.

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.). Another great resource is Ross Reports especially because they update their info so often but not all of the agents they list are SAG and you have to pay for the list. That doesn’t mean they’re not legit, but that’s why I always tell people to start with the SAG list. It’s free and those agents have signed an agreement to put the actor first! www.rossreports.com If you subscribe to backstage.com you can get a combo subscription which can come in handy but can also get quite expensive.

Then you can send the agencies 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. You never call the agencies directly. That is a big no-no! At least it is in LA. Please remember that reputable agents take exactly 10% of your pay AFTER they help you get a job. Not one cent more and not one cent before. Anything else is a scam. This is strictly for talent agents, not modeling agents or talent managers who take different percentages.

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 / commission / society or whatever your state calls theirs (some have more than one). Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre (and other auditions on backstage), you can go to backstage.com or www.actorsequity.com (click on casting call) 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.

PLEASE do not attempt any of this without your parent's permission. You really need them in order to do any of this.

good lucK!
