listen to them about the whole agent thing!.
i have signed up for previous sites in the past about casting calls but they will never be in your area!. only hollywood areas!.

agents are you safest bet!.!.!.yet their difficult to pinpoint and even agents are hard to get!.!.!.


ah the agent thing!.


sorry but its not gonna be a walk in the park!.!.!.!.

1) any previous acting experience onstage!?
2) taken any acting classes!?
3) live nearby an agency!. you can look up talent agencies online and in the yellow pages

4) they look for professional recent headshots!. Photographer quality!. this can be pricey!.

5) Have good audition experience!. Most agencies look for this because they want to know what they're going to be representing before hand!. And they want to see if you have the talent!. The best way to be prepared for this is to have all the audition experience you can get, whether its just audtitioning for local community theatre or what!.

6) don't get ripped off!. Some agencies are nothing but a scam!. As a starting career, don't look to shed out big bucks to these people unless they are ligit and can promise you a blossoming career!. If they demand a high amount of money, they're not worth it!. That is until, your making more money off of gigs they got you!.


its not easy and i'm not sayng it can't be done, but there are so many things they look for, its nearly impossible!. You literally have to be one in a million these days!.

So confide in close friends and family members!.!.!.let them know this is what you want cause your gonna need all the support you can get!.

Most importantly!.!.!.be yourself!. don't change for anybody or because you think they'll like it better if you act a certain way!. be original!. thats what stands out!.

You should get an agent who will handle searching for auditions for you!. Their job is to set you up with auditions for TV shows you would be appropriate for!.

First get headshots, expect to pay some money for them!. For a discount volunteer to work for the photographer for a day, they will usually do a discount on your headshots!.

Second, you need an agent!. Search around for a company like Hot Shot teens or many others!. Expect an audition!. Once you have an agent producers for TV shows will come to them and look for the right person for their show!.

Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
