Hello Lac,


It is possible to become an actor, even expressing some kind of nervousness. Every actor or actress at the beginning of your career ever felt this way. What you can do to alleviate this is to join a group or drama school, because these programs teach techniques of voice, breath, action, interaction and interpretation. Here are some tips for you to start your career:




  1. START IN HIGH SCHOOL
    One of the best ways to begin to learn the acting craft is to participate in a high school theater program. High school drama classes and productions allow students to develop their skills and experience what it feels like to perform in front of a large audience.




  2. EARN A DEGREE IN DRAMA, THEATER OR A RELATED FIELD
    College drama programs allow actors and actresses to acquire a wide range of performance skills through classes in acting theory, theater history, stage production, dance, music, and more, as well as acting.




  3. STUDY, PRACTICE AND AUDITION
    Acting workshops and small theater companies keep performers in top form by providing an environment in which they can stretch their creative muscles and work, work, work. They also provide one of most effective networking opportunities available.




  4. SIGN WITH A REPUTABLE AGENT
    Agents are performers’ direct connection to the professional show business world. A good agent knows what parts are currently being cast, works closely with industry professionals and casting directors, and can stop you from making rookie mistakes that may cost you your “big chance.” Additionally, agents handle many of the business tasks related to an acting career so that a performer can concentrate on the actual job of acting.
