Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Hey to start your acting career you should really start at your local community theater. Maybe take a few classes. Be in a few plays and maybe in your highschool or middle school or wherever be in school plays! Oh By the way AGENTS DON'T COST! Yep you read that right. They don't cost. Usually agents look for experience on your resume to see if they would like to represent you. If they do they'll call you and say they will. Then they will look for auditions for you. If you get a job they get a certain amount of money i think around 15-20% of what you earn. See? They dont cost they just take a percentage of what you make on your acting career. Hope I helped!

To start in acting it would be best to get headshots they cost about 300$ and then you have to get the printed which is about 100$. Once you audition and get accepted with an agent they will NEVER ask you for money upfront. once you start working they take 10% from your paycheck. There are agents all over the place mainly in LA and Hollywood.

another way of getting started is modeling, because alot of directors check out models for acting when they're looking for some one to fit the part of a new show or movie. that's how alots of actresses and actors got started.
for example: raven symone, ashley tisdale, lindsay lohan and more.
well i hope that helps any, good luck ;)

Talent agents are found in any major city, but of course the best advice would be to go to LA or NYC. Agents get you jobs, do NOT EVER pay them or anyone before they get you a job. That is a scam. A genuine agent will take a percentage of your earnings from the jobs they find for you.

Yes, it would be best to get an agent. I don't know exactly how much they cost, but I know they are VERY expensive. To hire them it would probably be at least $2,000 (since you want a good one). As to where you can get a good one... you're not going to like my answer, but Los Angeles, CA. New York also would probably have experienced ones. If you want a local agent, you should do some research in the newspaper and online. Other ways to get started? There are always local auditions being held for commercials or small guest spots on TV shows. Again, just look online, and there should be some results for your area.
