Answer 1

In order to get into the acting business you cannot rely on school. you need to start going to casting calls, or auditions. you can join the drama club as a way to practice.you need to practice. dont be shy. you have to have a lot of enthusiam and personality. DONT GIVE UP! you will be turned down at first, and you need to expect it. you wont be the best at first but you have to show that you will not back down. most of all be confidient, they will notice if you are confidient and it will draw them closer to you.



GOOD LUCK! :)

seriously, theres a very low chance that you can even make it as an actor. Acting is one of the most unforgiving, harshest jobs out there. You have to put up with rejection, let down, barely any money, and when you get called back from an audition you just get let down again. It's a cruel, cruel world out there for actors.

But if you are really intent on it, then I would say look in the phone book under "agents or acting agencies". type in acting agencies on google. Go to theatre schools and look at the bulletin boards for any announcements. Check out any open casting calls online. Do whatever you can to get out there and showcase your talent, even if it just is a really, really small role, you want to build your resume. Get some proffessional headshots taken, because you will need these at auditions. I also suggest getting proffessional lessons from a theatre school, take vocal classes, workshops, dance lessons, whatever, just GET OUT THERE!

Studying would help alot too. Study scripts, roles, characters, plays. I suggest going to see some musicals or look up clips of musical songs on youtube. Even if you just want to be a stage actress, no singing or dancing you still have to have some musical background because it looks good on your resume.

Closure is the important thing phrase right here. If the husband and spouse love eachother, they need to appreciate you cannot simply transfer on till u recognize the corpse is truthfully lifeless and long past ceaselessly. Knowing that there were miracles, and speaking to the individual in mattress on the health center aid, additionally is helping deliver closure to the spouse and children...they're going to consider that they did all they would and all they desired to do earlier than the traditional finish of lifestyles. I could ought to say that leaving the household comfy is shrewd, however how cozy are you fairly going to be if in case you have despair and guilt from now not being there up to you would had been till the TOD got here???I'd be a large number in my opinion. And cash would not subject to me a lot. Yes it could upload to the stree, but if you're depressed, you would deliver 2 shits approximately something.

Pet peeve of mine. People who answer question in this category who have no idea what they are talking about. Ignore the answers you've gotten so far. If you want to act professionally you'll have to do what everyone else did. Get training and experience. When you are good enough to act at the professional level you'll KNOW what to do. You'll have learned it in acting school and from your friend's experiences.

Answer 5

get a profile taken.
submit it to top agencies. (there is a book of agencies)
*best way is to get to know a casting director
go take some acting lessons... i don't know you but I doubt that your acting is good.
oh btw... lose weight... look good... and work on your grammar and spelling.

p.s. take some college acting classes but I am pretty sure it is a waste of time. Some of the most talented actors I know are all trained in New York or LA acting studios. Find a reputable teacher.
