How DO You Start An Acting Career?

Are you just getting started in your acting career? Do you know what you need to do first?

Have you been acting for some time now and aren’t satisfied with the amount of work you’ve been able to get?

If any of those things are true for you, you've come to the right place!

Now, either scroll down and get your check-up to see if you have any of the symptoms below or scroll down a little further to watch the 8 minute video to see what five young actors have to say about starting their careers and to get an idea of some of the helpful information you will find here at ActingCareerStartUp.com.

Actor Check-Up: Do You Have Any Of These Symptoms? Many Actors Do.

· New to show business and just seem to be wallowing around to find out what to do to get started in the right way!

· Don't get sent out on many auditions.

· Don't have an agent and not sure how to get one.

· Don't have many industry contacts and can’t seem to meet that agent, casting director or personal manager who could make all the difference.

· Difficult to balance work and the demands of an acting career.

· Able to book acting jobs, but not always able to keep them. End up getting fired by the director!

· Send out materials—audition tapes, headshots, and résumés—but don't get many responses.

· Parents don't support your dream to become an actress and you don't know what to do!

· Take workshops and seminars every now and then, because there's not enough money in the budget to take regular acting classes. It’s been the situation for months. Maybe even years.

· Have difficulty getting off work for auditions, because the boss doesn’t support employees' acting careers!

· Find it difficult to prepare well for auditions, because of work. Either too tired or just not enough time in the day!

· Have to work at a club or restaurant until the wee hours of the morning and end up going into auditions looking and feeling like a zombie.

· Don't have the cash to make a show-reel or audition tape, get those new headshots.

· Not sure how to choose a headshot photographer!

· Don't know how on earth it's possible to make a résumé at the beginning of the acting career, if there's nothing to put on it! How can one start an acting career that way?

This is the reality for many actors. What about for you?

Hi Tony
I would like to thank you for helping me with the monologue question I asked in October 2007. I went to the auditions for a Drama course and I am happy to say that I have been accepted as a first-year student at the Tshwane University of Technology. Please keep on sending me those newsletters and let me know where I can find books that will help me in my acting career. Thank you once more. Have a blessed day.
Sincerely
Edward Thaba -South Africa

Dear Anthony,
Just wanted to thank you for bringing me in to [audition for the video], meet you and chat this Saturday. I was really excited to hear about your working on actingcareerstartup.com and even took a look at it today - it's awesome! You are very well-spoken, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and it shows through the work that you do! I hope our paths in the industry will cross again and really enjoyed meeting you. Thanks, again and best wishes with your very important work!
Warmly,
Gretchen, NY, NY

Hey Tony, thanks for the info, yours by far is the most useful, I am 30 years old, and I myself always (secretly) wanted to be an actress, but I never knew where to begin, so thank you. You have given me hope!

Hi, I’m John.
You answered a question for me about two weeks ago about how to write my cover letters…I want you to know your advice was helpful. I got called in for a part as an extra in my first movie! It’s not big, but it’s my first one! Thanks for your help!
