Those are aspiring to be an actor or actresses undertake a great and noble goal. Each year thousands of people move to Hollywood to chase their dream of becoming the next big star. Most don’t make it, but why? There isn’t a real reason as we see some of the new “talent” out of Hollywood is not true talent, while those who don’t stand bewildered as why they were not chosen. Take a look below on how you can improve you chances of entering the entertainment world.
1. School. Most teenagers who aspire to become and actor or actress will enroll in theater classes and generally major in this area. Theater teaches basic skills of acting, stage presence, voice projection, character development and many others. Schools such as Harvard, Yale and in fact every university’s have wonderful programs that can offer great insight into this career field. A majority of those who enter this field do not make it to Broadway, but this is not the main goal of most students. In examining the behavior of most students in this major, I have found that most are happy just staring in a local role in a city theater. Those who choose this route can make a decent living if they are talented enough to be in wide spread performances.
2. Submitted your Performances to well know theaters. For example, in Montgomery Alabama there is an exact replica of the Shakespeare Festival down to each brick. Performing in such theaters can provide a wonderful portfolio for you to move up in the acting world. It is ok to try Broadway initially, but if you are turned down, then it is NOT the time to give up but press through and start beefing up your portfolio for submission to theater such as Broadway. Agencies and theaters like to see consistency, determination and a great work ethic and having a list of performances is one of the only things that can do this.
3. Money, don’t act for the money. Although you can become very wealthy acting, a very small percentage make it, but don’t let it get you down. If money is your forte then a career that has proven to be more lucrative would be a better choice. Acting requires passion and diligence, and if you lack this, it will shine through your personality on stage and thus prevent you from achieving your monetary goals.
These are just basic tips on acting, remember, do what you love and the money will follow. Take these to heart and you will discover your niche in acting along the way. Remember, diligence and hard work when the race.
