5 steps to become an actor

by Starr mango

Created on: April 08, 2007

1: Never give up

Never ever give up, those who give up will never make it anywhere. Alot of famous actors and actresses talk about being knocked back in auditions all the time but they kept on trying and now look where they are

2: Get an agent

Getting an agent is always the first step to making it big, by submitting a photo casting directors will be able to search and find a suitable look for their character. Dont worry if you do not have an agent first because there are alot of open calls for auditions which you can search through the radio,tv,internet and newspaper. Before you get a agent be as ready as you can because the first impression alwayz lasts.

3: Go to as many auditions as you can

When you get an opputunity for an audtions go for it! Dont be afraid because you never know what will happen. Also the more auditions you go to, the more experienced you will be and you will know what to do and expect in an auditions

4: Be open minded

When going to an audtion or scoring a role, always be open minded of what you can do e.g some actors have preferences like they cant swear or do love scences etc. While you should have limits on what you should do and only do what you feel comfortable rethink your decision and decide how much you really want this.

5: Study your character and work hard

If you really want a role, study your lines and be 100% prepared for the audition. Study your character e.g where they are from, how might they sound. etc.
