NO, NO, NO do not call john robert powers and DO NOT ever pay to have an agent represent you. John Robert Powers is successful because the charge thousands of dollars to be your "agent"

Go to www.sag.org and choose find a talent agency and choose your geographical location. As far as an audition site I would have to know where you live in order to help with that. A good place to start is with a reputable talent agent. If you are over 16 you will also need a head shot and resume. If you do not have any experience that's ok just put whatever talents that you have such as dancing, singing, hula-hooping etc.
Good Lu.....I mean break a leg!

I'm going to dig deep into this question and try and pull out what I think the real question is.

Look at the bigger picture.

Instead of going for one website, why not ask yourself a bigger question: What are all the things I can do to get acting work? That covers a lot more than just auditions.com or any other single website or resource.

First thing I would recommend is that you get into acting class. If you don't want to do that or don't think that it is very important and that you might be able to make it anyway, don't get your hopes up too high and expect too much. Without training it will be difficult to go very far unless you are a true, standout with exceptional talent. Statistics say that the probability that you are such a person are slim to none.

Once you have begun to study the craft, find out what it means to be an actress and do some research, it will be time for you to do some soul searching to try and find out whether or not you really have what it takes to be an actress.
You know, every job has a specific set of skill sets associated with it.
A GOOD salesperson has to be outgoing, a good communicator, be able to work independently, be results-oriented, have selling skills, be organized, have analytical skills, passion for the product or service they sell, be flexible, be able to work well and perform while under stress, work long hours (depending on the job), have good writing and reporting skills, etc.
A GOOD plumber has to have certain skills.
A GOOD doctor has to have certain skills.
Anyone in any profession who wants to be GOOD, must have certain skills.

Acting is no different.
The people we see on television have worked hard generally, to be where they are and there is a reason why they are there. I think it is worth the while to find out how they got to where they are and what the things they did to get there.

You'll probably find that you will be spinning your wheels for a while if you keep going down the path of just looking for audition websites, especially if you have no training as an actor. In addition, you will have a difficult time if you don't learn how to effectively use a casting website.

It's all good though! Am I saying that you should give it up? It might sound like it a bit, but that is NOT AT ALL what I am saying, but rather to start off in the right way and do the things I suggested above. If you do, I can tell you that you will be ahead of a lot of people starting out acting.

Have a look at this page link on my site for new and aspiring actors. It has a lot of links to subjects with regard to starting your acting career that you might find helpful.
