\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You want to learn how to become an actor or actress?<\/strong> Join the club! A lot of people at one time or another has probably thought about becoming an actor. They watch their favorite shows and movies and think, \u201cI can do that!\u201d They think it\u2019s easy and glamorous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what most people don\u2019t realize is that it\u2019s a lot of hard work. It\u2019s a huge amount of fun but it\u2019s work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes a special kind of person to want to become an actor in Hollywood, New York or anywhere in between. They have to be determined, unafraid of rejection and willing to work hard to consistently get better at their craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t a site to learn how to become a famous actor or actress or becoming a star because odds are, you won\u2019t. Hopefully, you\u2019re here because you want to learn how to pursue a career in acting and be the best actor you can be. Whether you\u2019re in Los Angeles or New York, Ohio or Colorado or anywhere in the United States (and beyond!), you absolutely can have a career in the performing arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing aspiring actors should know from the start is that trying to become a professional actor is expensive. You\u2019ll need money for headshots, headshot reproduction (though not nearly as much as it used to be) and acting classes. Eventually, you\u2019ll need to market yourself with a website and a demo reel. You\u2019ll also need to add your material to casting websites. It\u2019s definitely not cheap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re looking for steps on how to get started acting, keep on reading! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Basics: How to Get into Acting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Get Headshots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to break into acting, one of the first things you\u2019ll need is a headshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a headshot?<\/strong> A headshot is an 8×10 photo that showcases your face and and personality. It’s used by casting directors and agents to help decide if you’re a good fit for a certain role. A great headshot can help an actor stand out from the competition and land more auditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t the place to skimp and be cheap because this is your calling card. If you submit an awful headshot to a casting director or agent, 99% of the time it\u2019ll be filed away in the trashcan. Having a picture that isn\u2019t professional automatically shows them that you\u2019re not serious about becoming a successful actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your headshot needs to be taken by a professional photographer and needs to look like you. Seriously, I can\u2019t count how many times a casting director has told me that they\u2019ve called in an actor for an audition and they either look 10 years older in person or that their picture was so photo-shopped that they had to do a double take. Your headshot must look like you, not what you want to look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does it cost for a headshot?<\/strong> In New York and L.A., paying anywhere between $400 to $600 for a headshot session is the norm. If you live outside of these cities, you should pay less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create Your Acting Resume<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The next thing you\u2019ll need is an acting resume. This isn\u2019t like a resume you\u2019d give to someone when you\u2019re applying for a \u201cnormal\u201d job. An acting resume is totally different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an actors resume?<\/strong> An actors resume is only one page and includes your contact information, experience, training and special skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m just starting out and have nothing to put on my resume!\u201d I\u2019ve heard that before and don\u2019t worry: everyone has to start somewhere. You can easily fix that! Audition for something at your school or local community theater productions or church. Look for a nearby dinner theater or if you\u2019re in school, join the drama club. Most likely, someone at local college near you is looking for actors for student films. There are probably lots of opportunities near you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there isn\u2019t a role for you in an upcoming show, ask if you can help out. Theaters always need a good, responsible volunteer. This will get you in with the theater community and make it tons easier when you actually do audition. They\u2019ll already know you, so it\u2019ll be easier for them to take a chance on you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these things can be listed on your resume. You can even list any acting classes you\u2019ve taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Learning Your Craft: Develop Your Acting Skills<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Take a Class Near You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wherever you live, there’s definitely an acting class, acting program or even an acting coach near you. I grew up in a small town and there were at least 5 acting classes within 20 minutes of where I lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re still in school, try and find a summer acting camp. Usually, these are all day workshops that take place Monday – Friday. You\u2019ll learn tons and walk away a much better actor. Plus, these are great places to meet people who are into the same things as you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to College or School and Train as an Actor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are a lots of great schools and colleges you can choose for a formal education and for acting majors. You\u2019ll be immersed in all things acting so how can you not improve? You\u2019ll learn to act with classes like movement, costumes, theater history, acting styles and techniques and best of all, you\u2019ll be performing constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to college in Baltimore, Maryland and loved my time there. I met some wonderful teachers and made some great friends that I still keep in touch with to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acting Schools and Colleges in Los Angeles<\/a> and New York<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Audition for Local Theater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like I said in the resume section, auditioning for community theater is a wonderful way to get started. I did a handful of musicals for my local community theater when I was in high school and I loved every minute of it. Plus, I learned a lot in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll most likely start as an ensemble member of a large cast (every town does Oklahoma<\/i> or another huge production at least once a year). By getting involved, you\u2019ll get to know the local theater companies and the people involved. The more they get to know you, they easier it\u2019ll be to get a part in one of the upcoming shows \u2013 especially if you\u2019re starting off as an actor with no experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audition as much as you can. Audition even if you don\u2019t want the part. The more you audition, the better you\u2019ll be. Learn to love auditioning because chances are, that\u2019s all you be doing the first couple years once you have decided start acting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Your Own Play Reading Group<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Get a couple of friends together once every couple of weeks and read a play. Give yourself the lead role!  The star of Beautiful Creatures <\/i>and Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/i>, Alden Ehrenreich<\/b> still does exactly that. When I interviewed him<\/a>, he said, \u201cJust invite friends over to read a play. Like, me and my friends do that a lot and it just\u2026 it promotes that energy and that energy only builds, but you have to get the\u2026 you have to start the engine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t know what to start off with? Try something from Christopher Durang<\/strong><\/a> or Martin McDonaugh<\/strong><\/a>. Or, check out a play from something that is currently running on Broadway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for Acting Agents and Managers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At some point, you’ll want to start looking for an agent or even a manager. Do you have to have one? When you’re just starting to break into acting, not at all. And especially if you’re not a member of SAG-AFTRA<\/a> or Actors’ Equity<\/a>, the unions that represent actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When looking for an agent or manager, you might encounter someone who says you’ll need to pay a fee for their services. There are actor scams out there where you’ll be asked to pay an “agency fee” when you sign up. Don’t do it. Ever. The only time you should pay an agent or manager is after you’ve received payment for an acting job they’ve helped you book and already worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will You Need a Manager?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Odds are you won’t need to sign with a manager when you’re just starting. You’ll only need a manager when you have a career that actually needs to be managed. Typically, managers get 20% of what you’ve made per acting job. That’s a lot of money to give to someone when you’re only working a couple times a year. Check out this article on How You Can Spot a Fake Manager<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going on Auditions and Casting Calls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How do you find acting auditions and open casting calls? If you’re not in LA or NYC, check your local paper or their website. Google – auditions ‘my city’ – and auditions will pop up on the screen. Also, check out Actors Access<\/a> or call your local SAG-AFTRA office. Some still have hotlines or audition information listed on their site. That’s how I found out about the audition that got me my SAG card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Acting Industry is a Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have to treat acting as a business because it is, in fact, a business. When you\u2019re called in for an audition, be prepared. Know your scene, monologue or your song. If your audition is in person, come with your headshot and resume (stapled together!), do your work and leave. If the audition is via self-tape, make it look professional with good sound quality and submit it on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might only have one shot with that casting director. Make it the best and show them you have the goods!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casting directors, directors and anyone who can hire you want to know that you are the answer to their casting \u201cproblem\u201d. They need you and they want you to be great! They are rooting for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Up With What is Happening in the Entertainment Industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t go into this blind. Nothing can sideline you more than not knowing what is going on in film, television and theater. This is your job!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorites are The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em> and Variety<\/em> <\/a>for all things entertainment related. And of course, Daily Actor<\/em>, with our interviews with casting directors and actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a Working Actor Won’t Happen Overnight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I did my first play in elementary school, kept that going through high school and then started to do plays at my local community theater. When I went to college, I moved onto Dinner Theater and found other theater companies to work with. While I was doing that, I auditioned for an industrial film, got the part and was lucky enough to get my SAG card. After that, I got my Equity card and I’ve been moving forward ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people get lucky right off the bat. Some don\u2019t. It could take years. But, if you work hard, it\u2019ll happen. If you\u2019re prepared, it\u2019ll happen. And always, move forward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
