So can i still get one?

Question

ok so i really want to become an actress more than anything i would do anything just to be one!! I really don't have big experience in acting like most people because of the city i live in and i have 9siblings in my house so...yea.. !my parents are really being supportive of my wanting to be an actress..and

But what i do have is

-Choir 4yrs.

-Drama class 1yr.

-1 commercial I've been in

where i live they dont have auditioning for plays my age.. more for 18+ so..i really cant do that and im in a high school that has no sports or choir or anything...

I KNOW I CAN ACT!(i am very good at it) but can i find an agent to represent me with this info??

Answer 1

Don't worry, although you don't have much experience and there is no way for you to get experience now, an agent may still want to represent you. There are some things that you MUST have before you get an agent and that is:

1. An Actor's Headshot

2. A performance resume

3. A great attitude!!!!!

Looking for an agent is really the hard part. There are many scams out there looking to take advantage of young, talented, driven teens like you. So be careful. I reccomend you take a look at this site (http://www.ehow.com/how_17069_find-legit... for reference. Do as much research as you can about agents before you pick one. Rule #1 in spotting a scam is when an agent asks you to pay up front.

Also, you need to look in to community theaters around your town. You didn't say where you were from so I can't suggest any. But, google your surrounding area for community theaters. They usually cast young people in family oriented plays that would be great to put on your resume.

But, don't let anyone tell you that you NEED an agent to get work. They are for people who want to get major acting jobs. Nothing beats EXPERIENCE.
