Hi
To find an agent you will need the following:
a) a headshot - professionally done if possible
b) a resume with a list of what productions you've been in, the part you played, when and where it took place, any awards you've won in dancing or acting, what classes you've had, when you took it and who taught them

Once you have those you'll need to find the address of several agents and mail them copies of your head shot and resume. Make sure you include a cover letter letting them know you're looking for representation, what skills you have etc.... It's kind of like applying for a job. Make sure you staple the resume to the back of your headshot attaching it at each corner.

One other thing you can do is find out where they are holding open auditions, take 2 copies of your headshot/resume and go do your best.

When you write to the agents make sure you do it in a professional manner - not like you have done in your above question. If you write to them in that style they will either return your headshot or toss it in the trash. The above doesn't sound very..............professional with the misspelled words, lack of punctuation etc.....

Be prepared for a lot of rejection. If you cannot handle rejection then this business isn't for you. Is your family ready, able and willing to move to Los Angeles or New York permantely? You will be asked that and you have to be honest.
Best wishes for your success.

first you would have to pay them like $800 bucks

call them and ask if they can discover you

i didnt read most of your question but one my sibligns uses this site talent6.com

you can be discovered by talent agents if you work hard in theater and people in your town like you. then you can call to hire a talent agent and they can tell you when all the auditions happen and everything. then you can get bigger roles and hopfully be on your way to hollywood! hopefully i helped you and please make me have the best answer! : )

OK Sexyboy, get a portfolio together and approach these people, DO the work yourself and you will find results will happen...

Stop dreaming and start performing. Agents don't know you exist unless you are performing. Send them an invitation the next time you perform.
