I just applied to an agency yesterday called "International Casting" and the website is http://www.internationalcasting.co.uk/
Just apply and wait for a reply... They replied to me in just a day! I received an e-mail confirming my application and now they are asking me to make a booking with them to make a final decision on whether they should take me or not. It is a casting agency... Make sure you read the website's "About" section before you apply to see if this suits you... :)

I worked in the industry for a few years, and my advice would if you've never acted before join a drama class or too and get some amateur experience to ensure that you actually DO want to act - then apply to drama school. It's the best way to give yourself a training in your craft and network and find out about the industry. From there you do showcases at the end where all the big agents come and pick which students they want.
That's my advice - but there are many different ways to get in.

yeah if you've got the money to go to drama school. Unfotunately some people want to act also have to be earning an income cause they gots rent to pay.

You can get a scholarship at drama school though, if you're lucky. And at Uni you get a loan. It's do-able.

True, but not for everyone.
Am only speaking from personal experience, there are some things I'd like to study for career purposes (not acting) but I can't afford it and I can't take the time off work, either. I just try picking things up myself some evenings and that, but it's not the same as a qualification.
Boo hoo and woe!

I suppose it makes it easier when you have just left school or college. My parents helped me out with some fees, but they don't have much money themselves so it wasn't much. A loan helped me out big time with rent etc. I didn't work at all during my third year. It's more difficult I think once you are in full time employment. I was thinking about doing an MA, but I'd have to save up for about a year or so. If you are truely serious about doing a course, I'd save up. There's always summer courses, part time, foundation degrees. It's possible if you want it that badly.

Which is what I do - The Actor Works in Wapping is a full time course, but in evenings and on Saturdays. They've got taster classes and open days coming up too...
