One. You do not start with an agent. You need LOTS of experience, and then you research the agents nearest to you and then you apply.
There is a very high chance that it won't happen. And if you say that your good at acting in front of anyone to their face, they may well start to think you're cocky. And if a casting director thinks you're cocky, that's not good.
That is a pointer - not a criticism!
Hope I helped!

First of all, you need to become famous in your area. Join a lot of school plays and theater events. When auditioning, give your best. If you get a lead part, you will have a greater experience. The more you audition and are on stage, the more comfortable you will be around people and the more people will learn about you. This may lead to an agent discovering you!
Once you get involved, open up a Youtube, Myspace, etc, and show your talents! You can do fun improv and acting video clips, and you can also post yourself singing.
Make a demo tape. This is what popular stars such as Taylor Swift did. Send them off to small agaencies at first, then a big agency like Colobia Records may want you signed.
Once you have come this far, you can start auditioning for Disney. Always have a positive attitude and be willing to work with others no matter how frusterating or annoying they may be. Remember, A LOT of people want the same position as you so directors are looking for people with a lot of experience, or people they know. For example, Miley got signed to Disney because her father knew many agents and she later auditioned so it was much easier for her to fit in. Selena had previous experieces from Barney, so Disney let her join. Then Selena helped Demi get to the scene. Also, it is important to go to a good acting college or school because it will help you get better and look good on your resume. Joining clubs can also be fun.
Lastly, be prepared. By this I mean that if you get picked, be ready for travelling, possibly moving, and not loosing interest for your talent. Most importantly, have fun! Afterall, what could be better? :D

1. get lots of experience (as in like 20-40 shows)
2. get an agent
3. your agent should get you auditions from here
4. then you just have to wait for your big break
5. that is how you become an actress

you can start off doing more than commercials. firstly, where are you from? If you live in highly populated area this can hurt you and help you. Because it can get you seen but also there are many others trying to do the same thing you are. You could start by auditioning for theater and then working your way up from that. You can also attend some open casting calls.

i might desire to signify which you come across your community John Robert Powers representative and discover out in case you are able to take classes. (that would desire to be a good start up.) yet once you start up out slower, confident, take the drama classification at college. in case you somewhat extremely desire to be an actress you are able to desire to be keen to do regardless of it takes. So, take the class at college for constructive. Then, get entangled into your community theater and discover out in case you will get only even the smallest area. brokers these days want experienced clientele and that they desire to confirm those with a incredibly resume. So, the greater property you do, the greater property you are able to positioned on your resume. it is going to help a lot.

Most people who want to act professionally will never make it. It's the plain and simple truth.
It all depends were you live to get an agent.
Connections are also very important.
Try acting classes and musicals.
