I need help finding an agent!
Sat, 13 Sept 2008, 07:08 pmHi there.
As you probably guessed it, yes, I am a teenager.
However, I'm no "I wanna get rich and famous and be on telly!" kinda girls though.
I am deeply interested in acting professionally, and I would like to take another step towards that career, by getting an agent.
I know that there are alot of these sorts of threads, so sorry in advance.
But I'm having a little difficulty knowing some good agencies and so on.
I'm mostly interested in theatre work, specifically musicals, however, anything would float my boat.
So anyone have any advice of which agencies I should send my resume into?
I live in Melbourne, I'm fifteen, and I currently only have community and school theatre to my name.
I would appreciate any help.
Cheerio :)
Sorry

I have to say that at 15 with no real training or experience behind you unless you can go to an agent with the recommendation of someone that agent knows and trusts you are unlikely to be signed up.
Many of us have gone the same route you have, at 16 or so I was trying to get into an acting course. I failed.
Do some community theatre and try to get involved in some volunteer capacity in the Fringe, network, meet people.
In answer to your last question try a children's agency first, they almost certainly however will insist on you doing one of their courses. That will be worth while as it will teach you acting for thr camera, a completely different skill than stage acting.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
