yea you can send in your head shot and resume to them but it would be better if you did have an agent to represent you.

you need to get a manager before you get an agent and you need to be ready to move to where your manager is i recomend carter entertainment or 123 talent managment...or whilimena dan which is in georgia...but most of them are in CA or NY
Reply:Very few people start out with agents and if they do it%26#039;s because they are either related to the agent or are the offspring of someone who works with that agent.





Sending your headshots to casting directors is a great way to get started. Also consider sending to agents as well. The Ross Reports is a big listing of agents and casting directors and who they represent. Make sure you send a nice cover letter with your headshot/resume as well. Something short and sweet will suffice if you are young.
Reply:1. Training. Acting/Dancing/Singing classes are a good start. You start to get some talent under your belt, and grow your confidence. Plus, if after about a year of classes if you realize you really don%26#039;t like it, it%26#039;ll be easier for you to back out.





2. Experience. Do Community Theater, act in your school play, get in some student films, etc. You%26#039;ll want to do as many productions as possible to have a great resume.





3. Agent. http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/tale...





As you can see, you%26#039;re going to need to spend at least two years (At the VERY least. Usually you%26#039;ll need three to four.) building yourself up. You%26#039;ll want to make sure this is what you really want to do before you start getting into this.





Also, you should NEVER have to pay for anything when it comes to getting an agent. If an agent tells you to take special classes from them or a website asks for a credit card number, that is a red flag that it is a scam. Some of the big scammers out there are: John Robert Powers, Millie Lewis, John Casablancas, Proscout, Model Look, Barbizon.





Hope this helps and I wish you a fantastic career. =)
