I did commercials when I was younger. You don't need to spend a lot of money, but you do need pictures of yourself.

At the very least, get head shots. Find a photographer who has done head shots - see his work and have him take pictures of you. The cheapest way to go is to have just a head shot and your info below it with nothing on the back. The best way to go would be to have a head shot on front, then 4 smaller pics on the back with all of your info.

You want your height, weight, hair color, eye color, and any other distinguishing things about yourself.

Unfortunately, you cannot go to an audition without a picture with your info. All of the other people will have their own pics, and if you don't have one, they wont remember you. This is critical.

Also, you might want to call agencies and ask for an audition. A *real* agency will not ask you for any money up front. They want to make sure you have pictures, but NO money should be given to them. I don't think any company will hire you to do commercials without an agent. You could be an extra without one, but, in the industry the saying goes: "once and extra, always an extra".

So, having an agent is going to be a huge plus. They will take a certain percentage out of every job you get. Just ask them over the phone if there is going to be a fee to sign with them. There may be a minimal fee, but should not be much at all, if any! If they want you to get a whole set of professional pictures and pay them for it, they are not a legitimate agent - they are a "picture agency".

Start there and good luck!!
