• Answer:

  So many people always say you need to have taken a lot of acting classes, I don't believe that. I think you should have done at least 2 plays and the easiest way to get auditions and go to open calls is tell your parents this is your dream, write a mini actors resume and take a nice professional head shot of yourself. Just send the resume and headshot to many agents till one chooses you and wants to see you. Your parents needd to go along, and an agent doesn't get paid before auditions. They get paid after you get the job and its only 10 percent . That's the easiest way I believe, don't give up !! Note : if you want to act you must be able too. And if a agent asks you to pay them ahead of time its a scam , and so are more websites ! Example ; kristen stewart from twilight was doing one play and an agent just wanted her, she's so quiet and shy but look at wheree she is now !
