| Question: How do I begin a career in acting? Posted: 04 Nov 2015 03:09 PM PST Sorry, but working at a movie theater means nothing for actors (but I bet it's fun getting to see movies for free!) I want to give it to you straight so you can make some informed decisions. The basic steps toward an acting career include: 1. Get realistic. Give up the fantasy that actors are "discovered" and given a career. There are not a bunch of open auditions for movies and TV shows. For that type of work you have to be invited to audition, usually through an agent. Companies are invest a lot of money in their projects and they trust that investment to trained and experienced professionals. Most PEOPLE want to be in movies and TV shows. Most ACTORS are happy to act on stage or on screen - wherever they can. The basics of acting are the same on stage or on screen and actor love acting, wherever they can. Acting is EXTREMELY competitive and every acting job is temporary. So by refusing to do stage work you're cutting out a huge area of where actors can find jobs, get experience, make connections and show their skills. 2. Get quality training from well respected instructors. Not only does it improve your skills but it's one way to start to network and make connections in the industry. Where you study and who you study with matters.nit can help open doors. Good actors continue to get training throughout their careers. 3. Get experience. Audition for what you can - school plays, community theater and the like. Theaters have open auditions that anyone can go to. There are more acting opportunities with theater. For most screen work you have to be invited to audition. First you submit a head shot and resume listing your acting training, experience and special skills. You can try contacting local film schools and ask how the find actors for student films and check those sources. But it will be a challenge since most will prefer to work with adults who look younger. You need to make sure you're passionate about the work of acting - not just the idea of being in movies or on TV. And you have to see if you're any good. Training and experience is how you do that. 4. Learn the business end of things. You need to understand things like the casting process (casting directors, agents, breakdowns, etc); legal requirements (contracts, unions, taxes, etc); effective marketing strategies (head shots, resumes, show reel, website, social media, etc); networking. Attempting an acting career is like running a company and you are the product to be marketed and sold. So read industry trades and websites like http://www.backstage.com To attempt a career as a minor you and your parents should look through http://bizparentz.org Read books about the business (Brian O'Neil has a good one.) chat with actual working actors about what is involved in starting and keeping an acting career. 5. Plan. Not only do many actors not make it big - most professional actors don't support themselves by acting alone. That means you need to plan how you're going to support yourself and how you're going to approach your career. There's no one way to be an actor. It'll be up to you to figure out an approach that might work for you. Good luck |
