Heyy everyone. I've had SOME experience with acting. I've been in at least 2-3 shows (yeah i know not that much..) and i took an acting,dancing, singing summer camp last year. Also, in the past my classroom was cast as extras in a commercial so i got to see like "behind the scenes" what really goes on. And to be honest i really like acting. It's fun. I really want to get represented though, but i'm not sure how much experience they're looking for. Anybody know how much experience talent agents look for in 14/15 year olds? Please let me know. Thanks

Get as much as you can! I honestly don't think that any agent has a "set" amount of experience that agents look for. If you go onto the ross reports, some agents say that you can invite them to a showcase. So maybe do that!
Good luck!

Get as much as you can;
And aside from looking at expereience agents really like when you have some good training and a good look.
Also, for the commercial, I wouldn't put that on your resume since you were an extra.

send in 2-3 snapshots with a brief cover letter telling them about yourself. Make sure on the back of all your pics it has all your contact Numbers and your age/ or date of bith
