I want to get started in the entertainment business but I'm alittle stuck on how to get started!. I'm going to be taking acting classes and I'm wondering what else should I do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
get into school plays and community theater to build up your resume
then get a good headshot which can cost $50-$650 dollars
then try to become an extra
then get an agent or manager
then hope your agent gets you jobs and make sure their legit!. a real agent will never ask for money upfront and only gets 10% of what you makeWww@QuestionHome@Com

One thing is the "mechanics" of the business, and other the actual performing experience that will make you into acting!. Acting 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 luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

do anything and everything you can to build up your resume!. and try out for some commercials or something while you're doing so!. and when your resume has lots of experience on it, send it in to a talent agency and a professional photo of yourself youl learn the other proceduyre afte ryou have gotten experience
good luck
