dose any one have tips to get an acting carrier?

Answer 1

Have the proper training. Get into classes. You can start with one ongoing acting class but eventually you'd need to study many different things in acting including cold reading, scene study, auditioning, etc. Also dance classes, voice lessons, etc.

And while in your classes, be a nice person and NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK.

good luck

Answer 2

you have to get yourself into an acting club or group because even if you dont think you need it, professionals are always getting tips and advise and upgrading their skills. after this you should make yourself a resume, focusing on all of the lead rolls you've played and also add to it all of the extra bits too. get some professional photo's done (in colour as agents and professional prefer this) as this will make you look dedicated to what you want to do. then you sould get yourself an agent and enroll in lots of websites for extra's and carry on performing, as this is a start and you can add these to your resume. this is the most you can do to become an actress. nevertheless im sorry to say that only a small percentage make it big time but the most you can do is try!. good luck!

Answer 3

Just about everyone, I'd say, from NY gal who's tip is great to Tony who is selling his book. You have to understand that acting is not a glamorous career. It takes years of struggle to become an actor. Most actors do not earn a living at it. Most spend more time looking for acting jobs than acting, so think it over. Unless you absolutely cannot do anything else but be an actor, don't try. It you absolutely must be an actor write to me and tell me about your background and your self. I give advice to aspiring actors and I do not charge for it.

Answer 4

Is that anything like a pet carrier?

Answer 5

Hi there,

This is a question I get almost daily....how to get started in acting. In fact it is a question that I have seen young actors have over the last three years and it is one that inspired me a lot to try and help, while at the same time learning myself. Consequently, I’ve learned a lot over these past three years.

It's important to know what it really means to be a working actor. Maybe you already know. I don't have much information about you other than what you wrote.

Here are some of the issues that actors face before they even get close to working: http//www.actingcareerstartup.com . You can also download a free 36 page ebooklet called What It Takes To Become An Actor. It will give you a lot of information and insight about getting started. Just sign in on the right of the screen and you can download it for free.

There are certainly more issues that actors face than the ones you saw listed on that page. At any rate, this is the reality. I certainly don't want to rain on your parade, but I say all this to let you know, something that you already know which is that there will be a lot of things to do before you get there. You will need clarity about what it is you really want in your life and in your acting career, motivation, determination, thick skin, a method of planning, business skills and you will need to see how real, working actors put these things into practice.

After you've started to think more about the mission on which you are about to embark, you need to study, study, study acting. I would advise you to get information about the different acting techniques and methods that there are and then choose one. To help, look up books by:

Uta Hagen
Lee Strasberg
Sanford Meisner
Stella Adler

Then one of your number one priorities if you are serious about becoming a good actor, a working actor will need to be getting into a good program of study. It is essential to your career! Essential! Here is some other information in the following link that can help you in choosing classes:
http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/acting_classes.html

Start studying the trade papers to get a feel for the industry, what's going on, what's hot, what's not, issues, casting directors who cast certain projects, agents and what they are looking for, etc.:

Backstage (or go to their website www.backstage.com)
Show Business (www.showbusiness.com)
Hollywood Reporter
Ross Reports
Theatrical Index
New York Agencies
Check out www.sag.org , www.aftra.com , www.actorsequity.com for information about the three major unions.

Lastly and maybe most importantly, you MUST realize that the person who will embark on this new mission of becoming an actor is YOU. Whether or not you are successful (and only you can define what success means to you) will depend a lot on how the industry treats you, but it also will depend largely on you. By that I mean, your attitude, your talent, your willingness to learn and be curious, your perseverance, determination and method, your clarity around what you want out of your career, your capacity to find creative solutions and creative ways to promote yourself and set yourself apart from the rest, your ability to first create a financial base so that you can concentrate fully on your craft, your ability to motivate yourself and to handle rejection, your capacity to be disciplined and plan for your success and it will also depend on your capacity to sell and market your acting ability.

I say this to say that you will need to develop and work on yourself. This is true for anyone. These aforementioned things are what many, many, many young actors overlook and thus find starting an acting career to be a difficult endeavor.

So what could your next steps be?. Find a good acting class and a good teacher. DEVELOPING YOUR SKILL AS AN ACTOR should be your number one priority while you do your homework on the industry! Without that skill, you probably won't go very far in this very competitive field.

Gather some information and talk to actors about what it really means to be a working actor, not the Brad Pitts and Julia Roberts', but the average Joe, out there pounding the pavement, getting jobs that last a few days at a time and who are piecing their work together by doing student films, commercials, looking for an agent, auditioning, getting rejected, doing mailings, preparing for auditions, going to class, saving up for months just to be able to get those new headshots, etc. Talk to actors who are working regularly and learn from what they’ve done. Also talk to actors who are struggling and learn from them what not to do! You'll be surprised at the number of people you talk to who are complaining about not getting work or that they don't have an agent, who after months or even years still don't have a plan! Compare your findings and put together your strategy. Have a look at this link in which you can see what a typical day looking for work could be like:
http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/working_as_an_actor.html

One last thing. Be aware of all the other types of acting possibilities there are:
Film, television, theater are the obvious ones and even within them there are subdivisions. There is also hosting, industrials, on-camera commercials, commercial print, student films, independent films, spokesperson, stock photography.
Community Theater, student films, commercial print work and stock photography shoots could be some things you could do to get your feet wet while you are starting out.

I hope this gives you some insight and I hope to have made you think.

Best of luck!

Tony
