QUESTION:
How do I find an agent for a 12 year old female actress who is just a beginner?
ANSWER:
If you live in New York or LA, you can get a copy of Call Sheet and circle acting agents that represent kids, then mail a headshot and resume of your child to these agents.
The best thing, though, if your daughter is just starting out, is to start with a good child acting class. Not only will teachers be able to recommend good agents, but schools often organize showcases where agents can meet your child.
