Step: 1
EXPERIENCE
Many people underestimate the importance of experience. It seems
the common thought is that we will be discovered in a resturaunt
one day, and placed in a major motion picture with the likes of
Brad Pitt the next day. Many famous celebrities were at one point
struggeling actors, often times taking several months to land their
first audition. But they continued to gain experience by going to
every audition they could. Not only does experience help dictate
your work ethic, you also put yourself in a position to be noticed
by more industry executives. Go to auditions as often as possible.

BIOGRAPHICAL STATS
Casting directors often get a black and white headshot and a resume.
But what does the rest of your body look like? What color are your
eyes or your hair? This is vital information for a casting director
to have, and many actors often times forget to include it. Height,
weight, eye color, hair color, measurements, etc. These are commonly
the first things a casting director looks for when searching for
talent.

HOBBIES/SKILLS
When a casting director looks at your portfolio, they may like your
look, but will you fit the part? Your hobbies and skills not only
tell them what you like to do, but it illustrates the kind of person
you are. Some people like to read, some people are into extreme
sports. Two actors with similar looks may not both fit the part.
The activities actors enjoy in real life are often times portrayed
on the screen. It is important to be sure your personality comes
out here.

TRAINING
Even some of the best actors that are born with outstanding talent
have to study and practice for every role. Some actors will never
get the part because they lack the training and experience. Most
professional actors hire training coaches every time they are working
on a major production. Such professional training may cost a substantial
amount of money; however, it will play an important part in actor's
life. At first you should take some basic training at a local acting
school or college. For more inexpensive training try well recommended
acting workshop.
