does anyone have tips on how to become an actor thanks?

Answer 1

It depends on where you're located, but my advice is to start in theatre and if you're in the states check backstage.com and do a casting search.

Once you build up a resume and you've taken some acting classes you can try to get an agent.

good luck!

Answer 2

The best advice would be to join your local branch that deals with Amateur dramatics. That will give you a "feel" for the acting world and if you wish to proceed further. Not only will it allow you to walk slowly it will also give you the opportunity of meeting other people interested in the same field. You will undoutedly make friends and. more importantly, the right connections!

If you really want to become an actor and your heart is set on what is perhaps the most exciting profession around you can get more details from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Details of the website below:

Good luck and one day we may see you on the stage!

Answer 3

get lots of amateur experience - audition for anything that fits your age group.

the professional industry is competitive, ruthless and unforgiving. you will need to be mentally strong enough to cope with a 90% rejection rate and not take it personally when a director says you're not what they're looking for - NEVER dispute their opinion, but do ask what you can do to improve. be prepared to have more doors slammed in your face than opened, then to get up, brush yourself off and keep trying. You need to show great resilience an constantly reinvent yourself.

Directors do essentially want a blank canvas, but a special type of blank canvas which is almost finished when they receive it - the important aspect of any actor is the ability to take direction - your director does the thinking, you do the doing - if you don't like doing what your director asks, then you'd better be bloody tactful in telling them how it can be done better. A director does not want to work with someone who cannot take direction and thinks they know everything - a reputation like that does not take long to circulate.

Acting is very rewarding, but the gaps between can be soul-destroying - I do not want to paint you a pretty picture of waltzing into an audition one day and everything just landing in your lap - it takes years of experience, hard work, passion, steely determination and being able to take the rough with the smooth - but for those few moments of bowing your head to an audience with the sound of applause ringing in your ears - no I wouldn't swap that for anything. :)

Good luck!
