Besides the obvious...school, paying for classes, ect. ect., has anyone sent in videos to agencies or companys and gotten a response? I'm curious and need advice.

also, are there any good colleges to go to for this? I'm not talking arts schools, which are the obvious, and I know that sounds stupid, but which schools in the Midwest area, or even all over, have good arts programs?

A friend of mine works for a local advertising agency. They are always looking for people to do short commercials or voice-overs for local businesses commercials.
Do you have community theatre in your area? Some of them have open auditions. If you are in school you can also try-out for college productions.
So much about getting a job is about networking. You never know if something that seems small could lead to something much bigger.

usually agencies don't accept videos unsolicited. They see your headshots via your acting classes and your showcases (plays) take classes all over the place. Move to los angeles is a good step.

Something I've said about the craft applies to your question. Sometimes the obvious choice is the best choice. You already know what to do. Do it.

the internet has made it too easy for people to draw attention. if you are serious about your goal and have the endurance you might succeed but be aware that unless it is a burning desire that lasts and lasts you should find another career choice and careers do change!

Do not submit, videos. If the agents wants to see your video, he will ask you to submit it to his office.
Submit your acting resume/headshot, to Talent Agencies, that is all they want you to send them.
Do not send anything other than headshot/resume.
