Answer 1

Oh boy. You should NOT be posting pictures of yourself or you'll get pervs answering your questions... so watch out. At least you don't have your account to where they can IM or email you.

Seriously, you cannot get an agent without the training and the resume to back you up. Get into acting and dance classes as well as voice lessons to keep up your skills. Disney kids are triple threats! Honestly, being tall and 15 is going to work against you. Most productions will hire people 18 to look younger for your age group. That doesn't mean that you can't find work, but it definitely makes it harder.

There are 19 SAG franchised agents in Chicago, here's the link:
http://www.sag.org/sagWebApp/application?pageid=AgentInformation&portletid=FranchisedAgentLists&wfevent=validate&target=find_agent&agent_type=franchised
If you have a good resume, send them your pic, res & a short cover letter and see if they contact you for an interview.

Since you're tall, you may want to consider applying to their modeling divisions as well. Other sites that may help you are www.backstage.com & www.actorsaccess.com

good luck!

Answer 2

I wanted to be an actor too in my early twenties. I took classes in high school and college. I never had an agent and only acted in a few amateur civic theater old broadway musical plays in a small Central Texas town.

Agents: first, I searched Yahoo once and here are the results. You will find strangers to contact and make appointments with such searches on Yahoo and Google, maybe others.

I strongly recommend: You will find someone more trustworthy if you get a name from a theater teacher at your school, or another local school, or from a director at a nearby civic/professional/amateur theater or (especially) a theater professor at nearby colleges and universities who know where their students go when they leave the schools and get into performing.

The academic, or civic director only wants to keep a good relationship with the agents he refers you to, and keep a good reputation in his community, not your money.

Or from anyone at your church should you attend one, or any other organization, where you can meet a like-minded friend, or one who's experienced, or a responsible honest elder who knows the business.

Don't forget all training school or private classes and performance and modeling/singing/dancing experiences and even behind the scenes paid or volunteer work and references should be recorded and noted to build your portfolio.

A good agent would know more, he profits by helping you get hired. You'll find someone who is trustworthy by asking someone you trust, who also knows the market.

A local acting school will have teachers and practicing or retired performers who know agents. Both they and the agents want money from you.

You look quite attractive to me and I can easily imagine you on a Disney channel program.

Even if that's not where you begin, all experience adds up and skills improve and you could be there eventually... or somewhere better.

I have a web cam, and a digital cameral that can take video clips. A few days ago I shot about 5 stills and 4 clips of me, all sitting at the PC, just to begin practiciing with the equipment. As an afterthought, I used Windows Movie Maker to order and splice them and write captions, and ended up with my first 40 second silent comedy which I submitted to UTube. It's not to audition, but to express myself through art...

Perhaps you and your friends might create your own experiments and skill enhancing experiences in a similar way, with sincere intent/ambition, while you're seeking and waiting for legitimate audition opportunities.

Perform wherever and whenever you can.

Good show.

Answer 3

A good agent is hard to come by, they dont want just anyone they need people that no what theyre doing! but search around and I'm sure you'll find someone! i've been in acting forever and i promise you youre not going to just jump into a disney show! For disney you have to give up soooo much, you just become disney forget who you ever were. Start small and someday...who knows! See you in hollywood!

Dear Lord, I stand in contract with all who're believing that You will please preserve and supply those people from this evil assault. Please use this enjoy to attract all of them out of occult involvement, and into salvation in Jesus Christ. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
