If you are of any age, in school, college, whatever and have the opportunity to join theatre/drama class, music, secondary language, dance, cheer leading or sports team then you should use that to your advantage. You are already ahead of the game if you play it this way. You will also want to research everything you can about the industry and what is required of you. Read about some of your favorite model, actors, musicians and really listen to their stories…
It was not overnight for them and they had to work every part of their being to get to the point that they are at now… Undivided dedication brings about great results and those people delved right into their dreams. I’m sure there were days and nights where they felt they just couldn’t do it anymore but their persistence, dedication and faith they had manifested them right into the dream they envisioned and now they are actors, models, singers, comedians, etc…
The more you know and the more skills you possess will only bump you up the ladder your gonna be climbing to get to the top in the entertainment industry. For example, if you were to go to a casting and it was required of you to play a sport for a commercial and you didn’t know how but were willing to learn, who do you think will book that job? You, who is willing to be trained or the other person who already has that skill under their belt? Nine times out of ten it will be them and not you who books the job.
Allot of people may not give you the type of support you would like about wanting to do this and that is okay only if you still move forward. Success is your only option…
If you want to act than put your self in as many classes as possible and do plays throughout you years in school. This will build your stage presence and teach you what it takes to bring and gain control of your emotions. Watch documentaries on some of your favorite actors and listen to the advice they give, take to heart what they are telling you because they are speaking from years of experience and learning.
Some have fallen down hard time and time again, but they brushed themselves off and brought their name back to life on the silver screen and back onto the tips of everyone’s tongue. It does not matter where you come from or where you were raised, but your life’s experiences will help mold you as an actor… Depending on where life has brought you, you may be able to reach further inside of yourself and give off the persona of a deeper person who knows and feels more and is able to exude that when you are in front of the camera. Knowing your skill and being able to be honest with your self about who you are and what you possess is gonna help you out tremendously along the way baby.
There are three P’s for you to remember:
Preservation
Patience
Persistence
The ending result if you follow the three P’s will be productivity. You will make it all the way if you just keep pushing ahead!!! Without these three qualities there is no hope for you , you will not achieve your dreams.
One of my favorite quotes is from Nicholas Cage, and he says this:
” To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal, to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new”
Are you prepared to go out of your box and break your rules to strive for something better? Are you willing to risk it all o achieve your dreams? And can you do these things with no regrets?
I believe in you and that is because you are here right now reading these words and I know that they are speaking to you. Now it is up to you to take the bull by the horns and get ready for the ride of your life… Just remember no matter how many times you get bucked off, you need to get right back up on that bull until you master your skill. You are more capable than you may even know and I am here to help, motivate, constructively criticize and hold your hand as you take these steps…
I am so proud of you that you have gotten your self to this level. Now lets take another step higher and get you started in the entertainment industry…
