Answer 1

Man, there are a lot of people who ask this question..
The first thing you need to do is get experience. When it comes time for you to take the step to get an agent, you will need to be able to show your resume (a list of all your experience), and you will need a lot of experience on it. I always recommend theater as a place to start out because it gives you not only credits that look very good on a resume, but also valuable experience as an actor- if you can perform live with no problem, then everything else is a piece of cake. All the best actors get their start in theater, and ones that didn't often wish they had.
So find your local community theater, call them, and audition for the next play they put on. If you are in school, join the drama club or the school play. Get in as many theater productions as you can- you can never have too much experience.
Once you feel you have enough experience on your resume (this can be anywhere from 2 to 7 or 8 years. It took me 6), you call up an agent and set up an appointment to join. Agents are like middle-men. When a company wants to make a commercial, movie, etc, they notify agencies, which in turn tell the actors that they employ. This is necessary because it would obviously be impossible for a company to notify each individual actor. And just so you know, 1) agents do not "seek out and discover" talent like some people sometimes say. You have to contact them. And 2) you never have to pay an agent/agency anything. They only make money when they get you work. Only then do they get to take 10-15% of the money you make. So if an agent ever asks you for money up front, turn around and leave.
Becoming a professional actor takes time, but it pays off. Just make sure you get a good start.

This answer I gave another person who had this question applies directly to you, too. Hope this helped and good luck with your career!

Answer 2

Hi,

If you do a search here on answers you will see other answers to this question, as it comes up usually a couple of times each day. I answer this question a lot and so instead of writing the same or similar answers over and over again, I have created an ebooklet that will give you a lot of intormation as to what you need to do to get started. Just go to http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/acs-blog.html , sign in on the right side of the page and you can download it for free. It's called: What It Takes To Become An Actor.

The second resource is about getting an agent, although, if you have no training yet, then I doubt that you are ready, but here it is anyway: http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/how_to_get_an_agent.html . It takes you through a process that I used to get two agents and a personal manager in a short period of time in New York. Using the same process, I also got casting directors to actually start calling me in directly for auditions.

That should help!

If you see feedback on the audience's face... then does this mean you are acting? So you already are an actor. Why are you asking us how to become something you already are? You should be telling us how to become a 15 year old actor, especially me cause I am 34 and I would love to be 15.

Well, I tell ya, it won't happen that fast, except by a miracle.
Can you make people laugh, too? There is more work in comedy than in drama. Read my profile by clicking on my name, and contact me if you are intereste.
