There's no correct answer to your question. I can tell you where to find audition info where you don'nt need an agent, but it's not for big commercials or series, they might be spec commercials or web series or something like that. I'm really resisting the urge to rant right now...
Try:
www.backstage.com - casting search

FYI Without an agent you run the risk of not only looking unprofessional but getting taken advantage of in contract negotiations. Also, for bigger roles on bigger shows you will never be seen without an agent.

They are extremely rare. Almost every paid job is cast through a casting director. They have to invite you. They usually only see people who have been submitted through a SAG franchised agent. And if you don't live in NY or LA all the more reason not to bother. Open calls are usually for extras or scams. Waste of time any way you look at it.

Big R's got it nailed. Stop dreaming, there is no quick and easy way for an inexperienced wannabe actor to get a role in anything. Gotta pay your dues, which means you need experience and lots of it.
