    To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won't see you unless you're SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading.

    You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways:

    -Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too.

    -Attend a showcase and impress them.

    -Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you're interested in

    DON'T

    -Email them unless they tell you to. IT'S UNPROFESSIONAL!

    -Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL!

    -Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE!

    -Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent's ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print.

    DON'T BE A SILLY BILLY!!

    1. You'll need an agent that the casting directors have worked with before.

    2. You'll need to be EXACTLY who & what they are looking for...

    and

    3. You'll need time travelling abilities, because they've done all of the casting.

    if your where the auditions are held, any mainstream legit agent can get you on the audition. you

    don't need a specific agent. to get an agent you will need talent,training,experience and

    a good resume. you will need to know how to audition well to get an agent. if you don't know

    what to expect and do on an audition, your not ready for an agent. you will need to get an agent close to you and where the auditions are, you can't just get an agent from anywhere. you

    will need to audition for an agent and you will need to see them from time to time, so you need

    to be close. if your not within a couple hours of where things are, you won't get an agent.

    agents only get paid if you work, not before. they get 10%.
