How Do You Get an Agent to Notice You?
Upcoming Performers often complain they can't get an Agent and yet, when you study what they've done over the past year or two, they can't point to any one event where an Agent might have actually shown up! You can't get an Agent by sitting on your couch. You have to take the initiative and start working wherever you can, so that you won't have to seek out an Agent -- they'll come and see you.
Find shows, plays, short films, student films - whatever and whenever you can. Take classes if only because you increase the likelihood that you will meet someone who has a connection (or even has an Agent) that will help you get what you need.
You might even consider becoming your own producer. We live in a time where you have a global audience right at your fingertips. All you have to do is give them something to watch. Consider creating your own content that will help to get you noticed. There are success stories every day of the unknown who posted something spectacular on YouTube, or of the Performer whom no one knew until he wrote a role for himself to play, sing or dance and managed to get his own funding. You simply have to find your own path and not wait to be told what it is.
