Things you can do at home to practice

Learn monologues and perform them to family and friends and get critiqued!.

Study scripts and work out for each character the who what why where when aim and secret!

Keep a journal - its important to know yourself well and can help if you look back to connect to character

Watch movies - a fun one, ha ha but yeah you can learn by watching others, look at the actors and ask your self, are they believable!? Why are they or why aren't they, what can you learn from them etc

research the industry, and learn terminology!

ok now heres what you do in order!



1!. PRACTICE, PRACTICE AND PRACTICE!

2!. Get some acting classes, also dance and singing if you can cause its best to be a triple threat!. also try and Attend summer camps!.

3!.Try and find some extra work to put on your resume!

5!. Compile your resume, make sure to list your training, extra work, school plays and amateur theatre experience!.
