<p>actor12 what makes a person ready to be seen is pretty subjective. It is not only about talent just take a look at most of the CW TV shows. Who knows, this OP could have an amazing look and six pack abs, acting ability may not be required. </p>
<p>OP I would suggest you do know your type. Some types are more in demand and managers and agents are more willing to stay by you as you develop your acting talent.</p>
<p>Personally, I think my advice about going after a children’s agent if an actor is just 18 is a great idea. Agents with kids departments in NY are CESD, Abrams, JGD, FBI, Innovative, Don Buchwald, GenTV. Google them. Submit your material the way they ask for it and take it from there.</p>
