a great reputable sydney agency for a film AND theatre actress with no showreel and no professional experience

Julia, I notice you are one year out of High School, is that right? How did 2009 go? Did you work a lot? I guess I mean community theatre wise? If you are serious about your acting, have you considered auditioning for WAAPA or one of the other schools? Edited to add: In all honesty your 'competition' for an agent on the east coast are graduates from these schools, who may also have had years of professional work during their childhood/teen years and are more than happy to do commercials and the like. It is going to make it enormously challenging to get a foot in the door when you're up against that sort of training and experience *and* you're only willing to do certain types of work. I applaud the courage of your convictions. But I am sure that in the current economic climate, you can appreciate it may come at a very heavy 'price'. If your dream is to work in professional theatre, you might have to be a little more realistic about your background and what you have to offer an agent. I am sorry if that all sounds very negative. Tulipa is far more diplomatic than I. But at your age and with your passion, I am sure you don't want to hear platitudes and sugar coated stories. Bottom line is "High standard agents in Sydney, who get professional theatre work," work with experienced/trained actors in the main, who would most likely not place any restrictions around what work they will do in terms of mainstream advertising. Especially not at your age. By all means go for it. But if it's your life's dream, then now's the time to get very realistic about how you achieve it. You're at the perfect age to do that.
