You might want to get headshots before entering the acting buisness with an agent and all that. Headshots cost a lot of money so make sure its something your gonna stick with for a while. My headshots costed about 400$ which is cheap but still a good price. Once you have headshots you want to pick a commerical headshot and a theatrical headshot from the bunch. a commerical headshot is where your smiling and all that jazz. and a theatrical headshot is where your serious...no smile this headshot you will submit for movies. Once you get them printed you will want to send them to agents with a cover letter saying your name and stuff hoping you will get a call for an audition. This is the hardest part of the buisness. Agents and managers are very cruel towards kids acting in the buisness even adults. They say mean stuff that will make you cry but you gotta get over it. Once you have that done you need to get exposer doing anything you can...backround, independant films anything you can find go for it!! Just keep your hopes high and youll do fine! hope i helped! xoxo. good luck with everything

I have been told I am a great actress ever since I was young, all my teachers have also said so. My nextdoor neighboor (who is also a good actress) went to this acting camp up in NYC called Stagedoor Manor that will get you connections with acting agenicies and movie directors. I am going next summer and when after I go to the camp I am going to try out for some commercials, then some movies. This camp will also give you ways to jumpstart your career if you don't know how. Alot of kids that go there are in broadway plays and you can ask them for connections if you go.

Well there is this one place called barbizon, it's a modeling and acting place. That's all I know of, but if you look online and type in become an actress or something of that type, then I'm sure more Talent Agencies will show up. And good luck, Acting is something I want to do as well.
