I don't mean this as an insult, just a matter of fact. For someone who's 15, you really need to work on your spelling and grammar. When you are seeking work in any field you need to be professional.
What you need to do is make sure your parents think that this is a good idea. If they support your decision then get into some acting classes, voice lessons and dance classes. Keep adding to your resume but it's great to see that you have a good start. Here's one example of what your resume should look like: http://www.actingbiz.com/articles/resume_examples.php
Find a photographer who has lots of experience doing actor headshots. Preferably one with a website who has examples of his or her work so you can check it out ahead of time. If not then ask if they have a book that you can come look at. Spend time talking to some photographers on the phone before making an appointment with them so you can choose the one you feel most comfortable with because headshots aren't cheap and you don't want to waste your time or money.
There are only 2 agents listed with SAG in your state so send each of them a copy of your headshot with your resume stapled on the back and a brief cover letter staing that you're seeking representation. If you live near any other states, you can go to SAG.org to look up other agents.
Maggie, Inc.
35 NEWBURY STREET, BOSTON, MA 02116
Tel: 617-536-2639
Type:
Model Club, Inc.
329 COLUMBUS AVE, BOSTON, MA 02116
Tel: 617-247-9020
Type: FSY
For auditions you can check out backstage.com and actorsaccess.com however they may not have a lot for your area. You might be better off checking your local theatres own websites and doing a websearch for your states film alliances, commissions, etc. Just search for Massachusetts Film and see what comes up. Those sites usually have info on projects filming locally as well as class info and casting too.
Remember that legit agents do not get any money up front. They get 10% of your pay AFTER they help get you a job on all SAG contracts. If you model they can take more.
good luck

First, type yourself up a good resume. Include your acting history and important stats (age, height, body type, etc.). Then have someone take several headshots of you... make sure to get at least one smiling, one not smiling, and at least one "candid" (not looking at camera, i.e., off into the distance, as if you didn't know you were being photographed).
Choose the best photo, blow it up to a good size (clearness of the photo is key... you want high quality here!), Attach it to your resume, and register (You'll likely need help from a parent, as you're underage) with sites such as the Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com), and be sure to check out any acting, modeling, or talent agencies in your area. Countless actors have started out modeling, it's a great way to gain exposure, experience, and a real feel for the performance business.
If you are serious about acting, make sure to be involved in your school and community theatre... not only will you learn more about acting, but you will get chances to get your name and face out there.
Good Luck!

If you want to know a very good vocal coach try to visit https://tr.im/tDXhJ an online vocal coaching tutorial. Everything, ranging from breathing fundamentals, vocalizing exercises, techniques on singing high and low notes, how to not go off-key/out of tune/off-sync, musicianship and music theory, proper diction and articulation, and a lot more are covered, all in our native language. It can be quite technical in nature, but it really helps since it covers the musical aspect of singing deeply and not just concentrates on how to impress people with your vocal range, riffs and runs and other cliches that do not necessarily make one a complete vocalist.
