Get an agent. They are the only ones with the proper contacts to get such an audition or any audition for a role. Consult the SAG and ACTRA if in Canada for a list of reputable agents and to avoid scams only hire someone from that list. Scan the list for people who deal only with kids/teens.
Also, if in a large city like New York, Toronto, Boston etc. you might want to consult their lists for a background talent agency. The agents there can get you close-ups and crowd scene shots as an extra in T.V. and movies shooting in the city.
Be sure to NEVER pay an agent for pictures, lessons, to put your info on the Internet etc. You only pay an agent 10% when you get a role through their efforts on your behalf. The other stuff is classic scams as casting directors, producers, directors NEVER consult the Internet to do any aspect of their jobs let alone casting you.
The only exception EVER to paying an agent is for ones who exclusively work with kids/teens and or extras. Extras and kids tend to bail once they see that this is work and often 18 hours a day for film as an extra. They and they alone can charge $80-100 as a retainer per year.
You don't need lessons, special photos, portfolio or any of that crap going in. RUN from anyone selling that or insisting that you need it because you DON'T and they're trying to rip you off for big money.
All you need is snap shots, desire and talent. Prior credits aren't necessary but having community theatre or regional theatre under you belt won't hurt chances in auditions. Remember only hire ACTRA or SAG approved reputable agents in your area and no one else to avoid being screwed over or put in dangerous or uncomfortable positions.
