What are my chances of getting a TV/screen acting job? No extra, but no big celeb.
I do hope I don't sound conceited (?):
I'm not going to go to an acting school. I probably won't be an actress all my life and don't plan on doing so. (I'm not willing to risk my life on it.) However, I simply LOVE acting/performing.
I cannot get an agent. I've taken an acting class at college before. I'm fifteen. I have some but not a lot of experience with acting on stage.
I live about twenty minutes east of Los Angeles.
I know the chance would be pretty thin, but if it's not zero, where could I find the open auditions?

ZERO>no chance. When you say you are not going to go to an acting school, does it mean you refuse to do that? If so forget acting. You don't want a life -long career as an actress, forget acting. You can continue to love acting in community theatre. You certainly cannot get an agent without your parents' doing it for you (child labor laws). There are no open auditions for speaking roles in film and tv shows.
Hang it up, honey.

Generally you have to submit to the Casting Directors they use, which includes
Carol Goldwasser
Hannah Montana Casting
Goldwasser/Meltzer
5800 West Sunset Blvd
Building 11 Suite 201
Hollywood, CA 90028.
Ruth Lambert
Lambert/McGee Casting
1040 North Las Palmas Avenue
Building 26 Room 202
Los Angeles CA 90038
J.O.N.A.S. Casting
Sally Steiner/Barbie Block
1800 Stewart St.
Santa Monica , CA 90404
Catherine Stroud
Suite Life
Hollywood Center Studios
1040 North Las Palmas
Building 33 3rd Floor
Hollywood CA 90038
They all want to see a picture and resume.
Without a resume that at least includes school plays, they will probably refer to Central Casting for extra work on the shows.

well if your only 15 starting as an extra is not bad. like any job acting requires climbing the ladder. don't expect perfection. I hope you make it.

you're getting a little ahead of yourself with trying to get a someone important roll. Its very difficult. If you really wanted to do something, you would really need to get a good agent. good luck
