Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Don't sign with anyone who isn't go SAG (Screen Actors Guild) list of reputable agents in America or ACTRA for the Canadians among us who may read this when archived. They are the unions who protect the better interests and safety of actors and other people involved in creation of film and TV.
Secondly under NO CIRCUMSTANCE WHATEVER pay an agent to get you work or believe someone who says they 100% can. Run from them or anyone demanding money upfront or asking you to give them money to have a portfolio of pictures done.
It's a SCAM big time. All you nee to get started are snapshots or at the most 8 * 10 taken at a Wal-Mart studio. The only time you ever pay an agent is when they get you work and it's a 10% commission.
The only exception to that rule is that the unions allow background talent agencies (extras) to charge no more than $100 or Kids Only agents to charge $100 per year for retainer as parents and kids bail as do extras left and right when they discover how much a commitment this is.
You live in L.A. where there is cutthroat competition especially in your age group. You have to get in to acting because you LOVE it and NOT to become famous. Fame should be a byproduct of talent, hard work.
For you doing community theater, youth theater, classes and trying to audition is what to focus on and not becoming big. That happens if it happens. It's about having fun and enjoying what you're doing.
It would be in your best interest to get a background talent agent first. This person will put you in crowd scenes in major movies and TV shows. You'll get to see well-known people and learn that shoots can often run 18 hours straight.
