For anything but a spec commercial you need an agent. More than 99% of the time there are no open calls for legit commercial work so getting that without a commercial agent will be very difficult.

It's great that this is your dream, but dreams take work to achieve. You need training. Get into acting classes, and preferably singing and dance as well. Once you build a resume in theatre, and student & indie films that's when you do your agent mailing.

Some websites have auditions for spec commercials which means that if you do this project, there's no guarantee that the work will ever be aired. It's being done in hopes that someone will see it and maybe give it's maker a job and maybe air his/her work. You may never get paid, but you will have gained experience and you will (if they folow through) have a DVD of your having done this project.

Make surethat your parents suport your decision because their support is critical to your success at this juncture. Then get training and check out these sites:

good luck!

NO WAY! All commercials are cast through agents. Those who tell you otherwise are scam artists.
