Answer
Hi Penny, If you are going to be an actor before you are 18, you are going to have to enlist your parents to find you experience, training and an agent.  They have to sign for you anyway. But that is the way it is done, that is how Miley did it and all the others-- parental help, lots of it. Best wishes, Doc
