Prepare a list of questions before you speak to an agent. You want to be prepared and make sure that all of your concerns are addressed during the meeting. If this is a first meeting, consider asking about the type of jobs the agency typically books and how it promotes teen actors. Make sure that the talent agency you're working with has the contacts to help you book auditions.
Discuss other teen actors the agency represents and the types of jobs they usually book. Ask how many of those actors would be sent along with you on auditions as it helps to know the extent of the competition.
Define with your agent exactly how involved your parents will be in your developing career. Many teen actors who are just starting out use their parents as managers. Often, the manager deals directly with the agent, freeing up teen actors to focus on their education when not going to auditions or on acting jobs.
Ensure that you, your parents and agent discuss exactly how important education is. Auditions and jobs can conflict with schooling so you all should define exactly how much school the teen actor is comfortable missing.
Strategize with the agent on furthering your career. Your agent's main role is to get auditions, but he'll likely have advice on what to do when you are at the audition. The casting director ultimately decides which actor is best for a role but your agent may know the kinds of things that particular casting agents look for.
Discuss what is expected of a teen actor in an audition setting. Teen actors bridge the gap between child and adult actors and sometimes need to incorporate elements of both acting styles. An audition is like a job interview; present yourself to the best of your abilities. Discuss wardrobe possibilities for auditions to help you look the part.
