Answer 1

Are your parents supportive of your decisiont od othis? Because you can't do this without them. You need training and experience before you can get an agent. Take acting classes, voice lessons, dance classes. Get into theatre productions, student and indie films so that you can build a resume then maybe an agent will consider taking you on as a client.

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.

good luck

Answer 2

HAHAHA! I love Darb B's answer... I have some experience with acting. Went to a famous acting school in Atlanta, met some famous actors, played in an independent film. I also had dealings with talent agencies... The best thing I can think for you to do is go along with the process until it comes time to sign the contract, have an attorney (someone you've chosen, not someone the talent agency has chosen) look over the contract for you to make sure you're not getting scammed. Good luck! And as everyone else said, this has nothing to do with martial arts. The system saw "tae" and thought you meant "Tae Kwon Do."

Answer 3

ever hear of the Yellow Pages? or a web search?

since you want someone to do that for you, one can only assume you know nothing about getting an agent.

You can only get auditions if you have an agent.

You will have to have your parents' ok to get an agent and to work as an actor.

If you were prepared to get an agent you would not be asking your questions. You obviously need experience and training.
