info on how to get an agent

1. get a really well known and good one don&#039;t go alone to an agents place take a friend and let 5 people know you are going.

2. Don&#039;t start out with p**n you WILL NEVER BECOME FAMOUS tht way, nor will you live your dream of becoming an actress

3. Don&#039;t trust flyers on the street. If they were good they would have money for a news paper artical nand also don&#039;t ALWAYS trust newspapers.

4. Be persistant, but not too much don&#039;t be annyoing.

5. When adutioning speak loud and clear and act THE BEST

6. When you have your first job do very well dont be snotty
