Question: Teens who have agents!?
When you have an agent obviously they expect you to work so they can earn part of the commision for jobs they find you!. Are they understanding that you may not have a way to get to all the auditions they might want you to go to for lack of transport!? also do they only consider you once you've had some acting classes!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, the agent did sign you so you can get jobs!. If you can't go to some jobs, then they'll be understanding!. However, if you start missing 5 out of every 10 then they can drop you!. Getting an agent is a HUGE commitment on both of your parts, because you have to dedicate your time into going to the auditions, nailing them, and getting the part!. Talk to them about the transportation issues, but most of the auditions usually are in your area, not across the country!.

Most agencies only consider you if you have experience, training, and a marketable looking face and personality!
The more credits you have on your resume, the more of a chance you might get that agent!

You really need to try to make it to EVERY audition!. They took the time to submit you - The least you can do is show up!. Of course problems come up and some things are inevitable, but if transportation is always a problem, you might get dropped!.

also do they only consider you once you've had some acting classes!?

In a word, no!. You need some experience - Community theater, student films, local commercials, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. If you sign with an agent, you are expected to go to the calls they get you!. No, they will consider you on the basis of your looks,your experience and your training!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
