Answer 1

First you need to make sure your parents are 1000% percent behind you. Then you need to get into some classes and start training to be an actor. Then you start auditioning for roles at local theatres. Once you have a few under your belt you try building your resume even more by adding roles from student and indie films.

Try backstage.com (casting search) and actorsaccess.com.

Once you have training and a good resume then you try getting an agent who will then send you out on auditions for TV and film.

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.

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.

good luck
