Question
How much would it cost to get an Acting Agent for a kid with ages between 10-15. Is it really really expensive?
Agents do not charge anything. If someone claims they are an agent and wants you to pay them for anything they are a SCAM. So no, agents are not expensive. Agents are, however, difficult to get. You will need a resume, headshot, and letter requesting representation from a parent. Those things are mailed to the agent, and if they are intersted in you, they will contact you. For claification see the website You Must Act. Best wishes, Doc
