Training Before Agent?

Question

Ive taken 5 acting classes and ive been an extra in a movie. Should i submit to agents or should I wait until i have more experience. Im 14 years old and I live in New York. How much experience should someone have before they should start looking for an agent?

Thanks

Answer 1

i think you should go for it..most agents are looking for marketable people so if your professional, with a god attitude, qualified [[which i think you are]], and are comfortable in front of the camera then i think you should be fine!!

GO FOR IT!!

i hope this helps

Answer 2

You need much more experience. You need more training and acting experience. Check out your local community theatres and school for upcoming productions you can try out for.

Agents and Casting Directors look for actors with experience....especially professional experience.

Answer 3

It's great you've taken 5 classes...that's a definite bonus. Unfortunately, you can't put being an extra on you're resume, unless you're creditted. Secondly, you WILL need roles on your resume, whether it be theatre or film. Just go for some community or school shows.

Answer 4

You need more experience, classes are good and being an extra in a movie is good, do drama at school and A LOT of plays (plays are a great way to get experience when your a beginner) Next take professional classes and maybe even some singing and dance lessons -- that looks great on a resume. Then think about getting an agent.
