Hollywood Advice On How To Get Into Acting

Instructions

1. The first thing you'll need to get started is a good acting coach. There are several good acting schools in almost every state and in these economically challenged times it may end up costing much less than ever before! Try googling "Acting schools" in your area or visit www.thegreenroomorlando.com where you will find an abundance of acting networking information on where and how to get started.

2. Once you've sharped up your acting skills, you will need a great headshot (a photo of yourself from head to mid-shoulder area) to market yourself. Whether you want to target the comedy field, do movies or star in commercials, you must have a good headshot. This gives the casting directors a chance to see the real you and to make sure that you have the right look for the project or part. Be sure to get a photographer who specializes in this area which can usually be recommended to you from which ever acting school you attend.

3. The final step to get you on your way to the "big screen" if that's where you choose to go is to acquire a good agent! You can find them simply by googling them in your area. It is ok to sign with several agents even in every marketable state if possible. Be sure to specify whether you are willing to travel because sometimes this is required if auditioning for movies or commercial. It is ok if you are not able to travel because there are several online casting company's that will post your reels so that the agent may take a look at your acting skills without you ever leaving your area.

Tips & Warnings

make sure while googling agents & acting classes that you check them out thoroughly before paying them a dime.

Don't sign-up with anyone who makes you false promises which happens often in this business!
