First off, I would suggest finding a film or TV production company in your local area. Better to be a big fish in a smaller moviemaking pond like Capetown than to be just another guppy in Hollywood. Star in as much as you can whether its TV radio, movies, telethons, personal appearances, etc. Get together a resume of solid work and start sending the resumes and a clips reel of stuff youve done to talent agents in larger markets. Work your way up, it takes a long time, but if you have talent, talent will not be denied.

uh..you should go on craigs list ( The website) and look under your state and find the film/tv postings under jobs. a lot of times there are local indie films being filmed and they need PA's and interns and help.

It's best to get some experience first.  An agent won't take you on if you're an unknown quantity.  \n\nTake some acting classes.  If you're interested in film/TV, take classes geared toward that.  Do some community theatre, volunteer to be in student films at your local college.  (Ask for a copy of the tape as payment.)  \n\nGet some nice headshots done.  It's good to have the picture printed on postcards, so when you're in a production you can use them to send out announcements to agents/casting directors.  Sometimes they come to showcases.  \n\nAudition for everything.  You'll learn something new every time, and you'll be come a familiar face.  \n\nOnce you have some credits to put on a resume and some experience under your belt, start applying to agencies.  You may get a "Sorry, we have enough of your type/age/experience now."  Don't badger them, but re-apply in six months.  \n\nKeep studying, keep working on the craft, and be a cooperative actor.  Word of mouth is a powerful factor, and if you get a reputation as difficult, it won't matter how good you are.  \n\nBreak a leg!

You're gonna have to get an adult to help out.  It could begin with your parents taking you to a talent agency.  They'll see you for free and you'll pick up free advice even if they don't take you on as a client.  You may have to visit a bunch of agencies before they take you on.\nOnce you're a client of a talent agency, they should begin the process of looking for parts for you.\nMeanwhile, peruse Variety to see what movies are shooting crowd scenes where you live.  Go start that way.  (see, you'll need an adult for transportation).\nOr look into your local community theatre.  When large productions come to town, they like to call the local community theatres to get actors for the smaller parts.

well most agents have law degrees.  due to the legalities of everything and all the contracts you have to deal with.  But if these are people you know that would be willing to sign with you i would draft a contract and have them sign it.  The only problem is that you will need to do a lot of leg work in the beginning because noone will know who you are.  Youre also going to have to get them into acting unions because most bigger movies only take actors from the unions.  It is quite a process but if you put the work in you can be very successfull.

first choose which you want to do!  If you want to be an actress... Then take a few classes or if your naturally good, get head shots and find a local talent agent.  Here you may get work as an extra or even a commercial.  You'll probably find good info on SAG.  Once you get a resume together, head out to LA or NY.  Remember... Brad Pitt use to stand outside a KFC type restaurant wearing a chicken outfit before he became famous.  -- never give up on your dreams.
