Answer 1

Your first issue will be spelling and grammar.  Next will be, do you have training and a resume?  No agent will take you seriously without them.  I'm not talking about your school classes and plays and certinly not any fake John Robert Powers (or similar place)... You need real training from a legit acting studio and you need real credits including student and indie films, spec commercials, etc.  That's BEFORE you approach an agent for representation.  

Also, Kentucky isn't exactly a hot bed of entertainment industry activity.   Check here for some local auditions and information:  http://www.kyfilmoffice.com/bulletinboar...

I caution you about the info on this page: http://www.kyfilmoffice.com/talent/index...

Please use it for informational purposes only.

Also, check out ActorsAccess.com and backstage.com  In all honestly I doubt they will have much if anything in KY.  You can also check out loal film school as their filmmakers will need actors and often in exchange for your services you will receive valuable experience anda copy of your work.  Do a search of your own but this is one I found: http://www.kyfilmlab.com/

If you are close to state borders try checking neighboring states as well.

When you have the training and resume to warrant getting an agent, check SAG.org and RossReports.com for legit agents.  

good luck,

Did you seriously just say "ingoy" instead of "enjoy"? An actress needs to know how to read and memorize lines. Is that going to be a hurdle for you?
