If you have no acting experience and no training, it's unlikely that an agent would want to take you on as a client!. Your best bet is to take some acting classes and start auditioning for plays at theatres near you!. That's how you can begin to lay the foundation for an acting career!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Before you think about agents and tv, learn the craft!. Consider these tips:

- Read a lot - learn about as many things as you possibly can!.
- Go to every audition you can find at schools and community theaters!. Be prepared for rejection, but remember it’s not because you aren’t good enough, it’s because you aren’t what they’re looking for!.
- Accept even the smallest part, and if they don’t offer you anything, volunteer for tech or house work!.
- Whatever you end up doing, be reliable!.
- Be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting, unnoticed!.
- When you make a commitment, live up to it—even if something better comes along!.
- Remember, even if you’re playing the lead, it isn’t about you!.
- Experience is the best teacher, possibly the only one that’s of any use!.
- And finally, be aware that the average annual income for a professional actor is something like $5,000!

GOOD LUCK!

Get an agent first!. Check out the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) websight!. They've got all kinds of information there!.
But don't expect to get rich!. The average actor only earns from $7,000 to $10,000 a year!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
