You do not need to have money to have an agent. Agents are not allowed to charge you anything unless it's a kids/teen agency and or background a.k.a extras agency. This is the same for singing as it is with acting.
An agent only makes 10% of what you get from a gig and nothing upfront or other than that. If they try to charge you BAIL same thing if they want you to buy photos, attend lessons with their people or put your photo on the Internet for work. That's all one major scam.
What you should do is get into community or youth theatre where you can gain stage experience and sing. The other thing you ought to do is get a backgrount talent a.k.a. extras agent to book you to do crowd scenes in movies filming in your area or the nearest large city to you.
This right now is the only agent you can get unless a kids/teen agency takes you on. A principal agent won't take you due to lack of expierience and the fact you are unknown.
The best way to break in to the agency and determine if you really want to be a part of it is to be an extra in film and TV. Do not hire any agent until you have consulted with ACTRA in Canada and SAG in the U.S. about their reputable list of agents.

i'm not sure about any studios... but.. you can also start recording at home. just get a recording microphone and the black circle thing for a better effect..... then download a recording program like Audacity.
