Question: Does any no who i can see to become a an actor!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
agent!. get lots of experience though!.

i have gone through agencies before and know what to expect first hand!.!.!.


sorry but its not gonna be a walk in the park!.!.!.!.

1) any previous acting experience onstage!?
2) taken any acting classes!?
3) live nearby an agency!. you can look up talent agencies online and in the yellow pages

4) they look for professional recent headshots!. Photographer quality!. this can be pricey!. Although sometimes if your parents or friends have a really good quality camera, you can sneak normal photos in and just say they were done by a photographer!.!.!.but ya have to know what your doing!.

5) Have good audition experience!. Most agencies look for this because they want to know what they're going to be representing before hand!. And they want to see if you have the talent!. The best way to be prepared for this is to have all the audition experience you can get, whether its just audtitioning for local community theatre or what!.

6) don't get ripped off!. Some agencies are nothing but a scam!. As a starting career, don't look to shed out big bucks to these people unless they are ligit and can promise you a blossoming career!. If they demand a high amount of money, they're not worth it!. That is until, your making more money off of gigs they got you!.


its not easy and i'm not sayng it can't be done, but there are so many things they look for, its nearly impossible!. You literally have to be one in a million these days!.

So confide in close friends and family members!.!.!.let them know this is what you want cause your gonna need all the support you can get!.

Most importantly!.!.!.be yourself!. don't change for anybody or because you think they'll like it better if you act a certain way!. be original!. thats what stands out!.


Good Luck!

Pls differentiate what is the "mechanics" of the business, from the actual performing experience that will get you into acting!. Acting is something that does not happen overnight!.!.!. Just pursue it, perform, perform in any possible play to get seen by as many people possible!.!.!. You also have to identify a style that you want!. A person, group, or company that really make you think "I want to do that"!. Find a way to practice with their technique (and i said practice, besides study)!. Practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way!. Make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy!. Being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like!. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish!. Welcome! Best of luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Anyone who knows anything about the industry knows it's all about connections!. And becoming established takes a lot of time!. So I'd suggest you go to a local talent manager and try to start there!. Keep making good connections and you'll grow as an actor over time!. But never let rejection get you down, it's the toughest part of the business!.

You have to have an agent!.!. but for almost any agent to represent you, you have to have experience!. Start with local plays in your city, take a class, or try out for local commercials in your area!. I would do more research on the internet as well!. Once you have some experience behind you, a polished resume, and possibly a picture portfolio, get an agent to help you find acting jobs!. You gotta start somewhere & work your way up as with any job!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
