Until you have serious training in acting, speech and movement as well as some experience in theatre or non-union film and television, there is little point in looking for an agent. Even teenagers will be expected to be taking drama classes in high school or with reputable studios. For more information on recommended acting studios in Toronto, contact the Toronto Association of Acting Studios.

Don’t think of professional work as a hobby - if you want to act for fun, look into joining a community theatre group.
