Acting agent help!!!?

Question

i am interested in getting an agent to find me acting work. how do i go about it? is there any websites to start me off?

Answer 1

Put together a resume and get headshots done. Depending on what type of acting (theater, film, commercial) you want to do and begin looking for smaller agencies that are known for the type of acting you chose.  When you find a few send them your resume and headshot, with a cover letter stapled to the top explaining that your looking for an agent and would like to set up a meeting. Than be patient, it may take a while to find the perfect agency.   Backstage.com has some good information on this subject. Good Luck!

Answer 2

go to actra.com if you live in canada. they have a list of agents and their info.

Answer 3

What do you have in your "portfolio"? Have you done live theatre? Do you have newspaper revues? What do you have to show an agent?
