Answer 1

ALLLLLLLLLRIGHT :]

1. Take acting classes.

2. Do plays/musicals locally - research how to be an extra in a movie and try to do that too.

3. Get headshots.

4. Build a resume.

5. Once you have enough experience and training, send your PROFESSIONAL headshot and your resume to agencies nearby.

       How to find legit and reputable talent agencies --

1. go to sag.com/branches

2. click the city nearest you.

3. click local resources.

4. download the pdf.

         this will give you a list of talent agencies affiliated with SAG (which are the best agencies - the ones you want) and their addresses which you can send your headshots and resumes to :D

-- don't call them. just mail the stuff. if they are interested in meeting with you, they will call you.

-- agents don't cost money, they make about 10% of what you make from any jobs you got.

Answer 2

No agents shouldn't cost a penny, and if they do it's a scam.. google talent agencies in your area. read about them and see if they seem legit, if they work with a union such as SAG thats a great thing, you send them what they want you to.. which is usually a head shot and resume.

Answer 3

you need expierence first off.

secondly they dont collect money only 10% of what you earn that they book for you.

and you have to send in your resume
