Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
If you are asked to pay for headshots, portfolios, classes etc. and the so-called agent seems very pushy RUN! It's a classic scam as is someone saying they'll take X amount to put your face on the Internet for casting directors and Hollywood heavyweights to see. Movies, TV and commercials aren't cast this way EVER.
What you need to do is join a community theatre group preferably for youth that allows you to appear in plays, do workshops, learn technical theatre and scene/character study. There has to be something in your town or a city near by.
Movies are filmed on location just about everywhere. What you should do is a background talent agent. They cast people to be in crowd scenes in movies, pilots and TV movies. They are the only agent allowed to charge a modest fee to join as is a kids agency. Why? kids and extras bail when they see the work involved. No other agent is to receive any money until after they secure you a job.
Do not sign with an agent either unless you checked them out with SAG or ACTRA unions to make sure they are reputable. I know a lot of LEGIT classes you can take in theatre etc but not any located in Oklahoma. That's not to say that their aren't any. Once you join community theatre groups people there can give you an idea of who to study with and who not to hook up with.

JPR is a scam. No lessons/classes, are free. You need to invest in your future before you start getting money. Get experience in theater, then get headshots then get an agent!
I want to be an actress too, so i know my research, if you have any other questions just ask!
