How does your parent become your agent?

I am 14, and I think I have had enough experience to become a good screen actress, and agents have told me that. But they will not book me because of my age,so how does your parent become your agent. Like, how do they get the lists of auditions and stuff. This is the real deal now so please give me all the advice you can.





Many Thanks,

It depends where you live and if your state requires talent agents to be licensed. I don't know any parents who act as their child's agent - they usually act as manager, which is different. For example, Jessica Simpson's dad and Lindsay Lohan's mom are not their agents, they are their managersHow does your parent become your agent?
It is not advisable to have a parent for an agent. Most casting directors and agencies really don't want to deal with stage mothers or fathers. It is common for parents to act as managers because parental consent is traditionally required for minors to enter into any type of contract. But an agent is responsible for getting you that work. They have contacts. They have a repoire with casting directors who trust them to send the right type of actors they need for each call. An agent represents you because they believe you are marketable - they trust your talent - they think you have what it takes to make it, because their interest is financial in basis.


Your mom thinks you have talent - well, because she's your mom. That doesn't really count. And she has no contacts, no network, doesn't know the business, etc.


Best off to keep sending your picture and resume to agencies. Go to open calls. Build your resume by auditioning and performing in as many shows as you can. Show range by playing in different types of theater - from musical comedy to drama (if you can find it) to Shakespeare.

they would have to get the names of casting directors and contact them and say they represent you and is there anything for your type in what they are currently working on. If your parent really wants you to become a teen actor,then they have to devote their full working days on it.
