<p>If you do not already have an agent or manager in NY I would work on getting one before you start your gap year to ensure that you get in on auditions. </p>
<p>NY is not only a great theater market but also tv, film and commercials market. </p>
<p>If you are 18 but play younger I would suggest submitting to children’s agents. Many adult agents only look at headshots and resumes from actors who have been referred to them by people they trust, while kids agents in NY allow for unsolicited submissions. </p>
<p>The children’s agencies are looking for young adults since so many teenage roles are played by older actors that younger. If you would like agent suggestions you can PM me.</p>
