Reconcile yourself to the fact that it IS a business, and a hard one at that!.!.!.many are after the very same jobs!.
Self confidence with the knowledge that there is ALWAYS room to learn and improve is essential!.
Agencies can help, but I do not think they will consider taking you as a client until you have something more under your belt!.
Ya gotta start somewhere!. Take what you can get, but do not do anything morally objectionable! How many were stunted in their efforts because they had some skeleton in their closet!? MANY!
An agent is the principle thing!. It is their job to put you in from of the ones that can make or break!. THEY have to believe they can make money by representing you, otherwise, they won't give you the time of day!.
I would begin by scouring the internet for every bit of information available!. Google the daylights out of it!.
But this one thing I would definitely tell you: get used to rejection!. It is NOT a personal judgment!. it could be that you are not quite what they are looking for!.
Hone your skills!. A person skilled in their craft does not go unnoticed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Be careful when choosing an agent!. Most that you find out there are scam artists!. They want you to pay them and have expensive portfolios made up, which they get a kickback on from the studio!.
If I were you, I would audition first on your own!. If you talent is noticeable, the agents will approach you!. And, they will shop you out at their expense knowing that they will get theirs on the back end once they get you work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
