Hi "A 14 yrs sweetheart"
Your asking made me perplexed! Do you want to be an ACTRESS? Or do you want a job to earn TOO MUCH money & wish to spend them for poors?
Before getting a job as an actress, you MUST learn "ACTING" ( through some institutes or colleges, where there is acting classes). Then (after successfully becoming an actress) you need to contact a production house or place an advertisement with your profile including your photo.
As a movie producer (here in my country, Bangladesh), I tell you the TRUTH: Don't be a fool like others, that becoming an actress means earning a lot! remember, only Stars?Celebs earn a lot. You've to be a celebrity first----and you know, how far you've to go to reach? If you keep in head the money matter now, you can't progress. If you've talent of acting, of course you may shine someday. 14 yrs is nothing to stop you. Go ahead, sweetheart. God bless you.

You should make a resume and get an agent
If you dont have any experience join your drama club at school or see if there are productions at your local community theatre. Try to take acting clasess too

Talent agencies get 10% of the money you make from the jobs they get you.

If you want to get an agent look some up on google or the phone book and go to their website if they have on.

Then see what their sumbission rules are and submit your work.( resume, cover letter, and headshots preferrly one up close one full body ) Then wait. Always inform your parents :)

Good Luck & God Bless!!

Here is a cover letter sample:

You can try out for all commericails. Then mabey they will say yes and people will start offering you for more comericaials then mabey even movies. I am only guessing. :) Hope it helps. Good Luck

You can search for jobs and network with other actors for free on websites like explore talent, actors access, star search casting, and actors pages. I would go to your local theatre and find out if there are any classes or auditions. Check the newspaper, also. Agencies are also there to get you jobs. Search for "talent (or acting) agencies in (the largest city in your state)" and something should come up with agents you can submit headshot and resume to. Whatever you do, continue taking classes and building up experience. Follow your dreams! Good luck!

The simple fact is, you are going to need to wait until you are old enough to move yourself, or move to New York or LA (or maybe London if you're English). You are never going to find major auditions if you do not live where the major auditions are.
