How can I find an agent?

-I am, young, but I know I have potential to become something huge. I am a performer, actor, and great writer. I made fantastic grades in my band class, was many plays, got ones on my Solo and Ensemble Audition, and was first chair in my Jazz Band. I want to find somebody that will make me into a star. How do I find an agent?Do you have a private teacher? If not get one. If you do and think you need someone who can push you more, go find a more prominent teacher, i.e. someone who plays in your local symphony or teaches at your local college. If they're not able to push you enough, get a teacher from a major symphony or college. I'm sure there is still plenty for you to learn. Teachers can help you get better and share their contacts with you when they think you're ready.



I don't know that agents help with the training. I thought their job was to market a finished product. Not saying that finished product can't get better, but their focus would be the marketing.



Have you played in honors groups, like youth symphonies or regularly-meeting honors bands? How about performing on stage in community theatre or semi-pro theatre? Are you being providing music for public concerts at churches, city hall, and the like? If you're judging your ability only on what you see at school, expand your horizons. You may find that you can do a whole lot more, or you may find that your skills are being tested.



Continue to get out there and perform and spend a whole lot of time learning more. In the end, I hope you realize your dreams!Watch The Matrix. Agent smith is everywhere.
