My passion for acting has grew incredibly in the past year, I love it, that's why I started doing Short Films on YouTube, but now it's come to the point where I would love to become a professional, but I can't find many Agencies in London. Does anybody know how I can get into professional acting? Unfortunately I have no experience and didn't study Drama in school.

I want that too but it sucks in LT

Maybe you should try to send some of your clips to companies' (even if not in UK) mails etc...

Apply for acting classes!

There are websites that you can sign up to that will alert you to auditions for roles in upcoming productions. They're usually for indie films and university work. I know, i've worked with a few people from those sites on my film course. Basically just try and audition for everything and anything, listen to the feedback. Take classes, where you'll make contacts and friends. You could even just apply for jobs with TV/Film companies. Even something as small as being the tea boy for a few months will make you a lot of contacts.

Audition for roles, even being an extra in something will look good on your CV, but if you're really serious about it then going to an acting school would probably be your best bet.

Thanks guys, I think I will start looking into acting school.

Nice advice so far but I'd say don't stop doing the short films. Don't know if that's obvious but it's more practice and more people would see you.

This is something I've been looking to get into myself. But I'd like to do voice acting rather than live action.

Yeah, the things we have done so far aren't scripted we just make them up on the spot, so we are going to start making scripts and making them a bit longer.

I wouldn't mind doing voice acting

If so, then take lessons from Michael Mando.
