Answer 1

Try to find an agent near you (look online or in the phonebook). The agent shouldn't charge anything. Agents get paid when you get a job. You might have to see a couple of agents before someone decides to take you. The closet agent might be in chicago, but you wouldn't have to move. The agent would just call when you get a job. You will need to get some pictures in your portfolio, and you'll have to spend a little money on that, but it shouldn't be that much
