I don't get why so many people have the misconception that it takes money to get an agent. The money comes in when you need to get pictures done, buy envelopes, postage, etc. As for classes, call places and see if they'll let you audit (try a class for free). Do that at as many places as you can. After you're audited the class THEN ask if they have scholarship opportunities or if you can work a few hours a week in exchange for classes. If it's important to you, find a way to make it work.

Another thing... if fame is your goal then don't do it. This is hard work and anyone in it for fame doesn't go far. Fame is a side-effect. This is not something that is just going to happen for you, you have to work hard to make it happen. Study, take classes, get experience by doing theatre, student films, etc. Make sure your parents truly are supportive because they'd have to drive you to class, auditions, etc. You also really need headshots. They are your foot in the door. It's fine if mom takes great pics but look online and if they're aren't up to par with other actor's shots then you have to find someone else to take them for you.

I don't know where you live but that will also dictate the type of opportunities you'll have. Check actorsaccess.com, backstage.com (casting search), etc.

good luck,

don't try to be famous, just try to be very good at what you do. people who try to be famous are the ones that end up druggies. Agents do not cost money. Your parents need to get you one. It is going to take some money for photographs. Better start saving up if you don't have any. Get all the acting and singing experience you can in school. To be either, you are going to have to take classes some day, ditto with modeling, and they are not cheap. Going to have to make a new family budget with your singing lessons in it if you are going to be a singer.
