Get Your Career Started!

ACTING AS A CAREER;

Requires more than simply performing in movies. As actors start their careers many work at more than one job PLUS do  jobs as extras in Film or TV to support themselves.

Many actors live in large metropolitan areas where opportunities abound. Cites like LA< NY< and ATLANTA. These are the top three cities in the US for film/tv production. Many production companies are based in these cities and hire actors on a regular basis. {DID YOU KNOW THAT GEORGIA HAS OVER 40 PRODUCTION ON TAP FOR OCTOBER ALONE). Travel is sometimes necessary and there is certainly going to be competition for just about any role.Don't ever think that you are going to be the only one that wants the job, because you are not. Not now, not ever.

Acting can be a tiring, time consuming, frustrating career choice. But it can also be super rewarding. You will probably get sick going on last minute auditions, adjust your schedule and then not get the role. It happens.

GET PREPARED:

You don't have to have a degree in drama or theater. But it is very helpful.

As you move up the ladder of success you are going to need experience on your resume.

You, like just about everyone else are going to start on the bottom rung of the success ladder.

Your are not going to start at or near the top, no matter what you are your relatives may think.

Take acting classes/Gain experience/Get some additional skills.

And find an agent.

DON'T OVER ESTIMATE YOURSELF AND UNDERESTIMATE YOUR COMPETITION.
