Do you dream of the lights, the cameras, the ACTION! All of it comes with being an actor or actress, but there are many challenges in becoming a successful performer.
Step 1
The first thing is to decide a few things: Are you wanting to be a professional full time actor/actress or stay as an amateur? How are you going to survive financially till your successful? Are you willing to relocate or travel?
Step 2
To get started you need to take acting class; the more the better. Good actors have studied the art and have put in many hours of practice. This is also a good way to land gigs and make acquaintances.
Step 3
If your wanting to make it big, your going to have to travel or relocate to a city that actually does filming. LA and New York are the big ones but they are also the toughest in the business and in general.
Step 4
Build a fancy resumé. Your going to want to list all of your current experience such as the classes you took and any gigs you may have done. Your also going to want professional looking photo's to make the resumé look really good. See related articles for more info.
Step 5
Get noticed! There are many papers and online publications in your desired field. Know what is being cast where and go to every single audition. Starting off is not the time to be picky! Build, build, build that resumé! Attend any events regarding your field such as seminars, parties, shows etc. Your also going to need to send out your resumé to all casting directors or agency you can find.
