As we've already answered today, you might want to see about getting an agent, and doing some classes. If you've never done any film or TV before, you may find it difficult to get into without also having theatre experience.

Because of your age, you should consider undertaking amateur roles and doing workshops/classes, until you have enough experience to fully enter the film/TV industry.

There are also a number of film makers who produce shows throughout the year and often need extras or volunteers to help out on the shoot. You will find some of those people will post audition notices here.

I'm not familiar with the Shepparton arts scene, but it is worth contacting your local council and seeing if there are any activities in your area, or asking your teacher to provide you with some advice as to who to contact about finding local film companies/individuals.

Please also go read the FAQ on finding agents, getting work, etc. And do a search on this site for more info on local companies, auditions, etc.

Na, you have the patience of a saint. Good on you! I'm afraid I'm in cynical mode and sick to death of starry eyed young 'uns so thank you for having the patience to answer them.
