Start Where You Are!



Are you one of those who dream to relocate or travel overseas before venturing into the world of acting? If yes, then I have a better news for you. Start where you are and start now!
Start acting where you are. That way you are able to build up your resume now. And then when you decide where you want to move, you will have credits on your resume before you get out there - even if it is plays for now - it will give you a nice boost over some of your competition when you move. A friend gave me this advice and it is really working great. You can still be able to work on moving, even when in a play and doing extra work, you can also be to network. My resume had been dead for five years, and now it is looking good again.



Also, I realize the importance of taking up acting classes as well, be it online or anywhere else. It is the duty of a skillful actor to unleash the unknown  and give best performances through her/her dynamic range of articulated knowledge on the complete art of acting. 

This is one aspect of acting you wouldn't want to miss."In the end, the actor lives but once. Right Now. The timeline won't stop, so let each frame reflect the expression of a real character".

Actors don't work for money, they work on the product!


For you to make a consistent living as an actor, you must treat your 'craft' like a business. You are an artist, but when your goal is to get paid to act, then you are deviating from the norms and traditions of acting. Don't get it twisted. Yes, money is  a reward for an actors performance but don't let the love for money, stop you from working on the product (you). You should think of 'yourself' as a business person who is the CEO of your own company. As you progress on your journey, you will meet and possibly may add Agents and Managers to collaborate with as a part of your team. They become your sales force, selling the product (you) to the rest of the industry. The more you refine your product (your skills, look, and experience) and the more you define your "brand," the stronger your product is, and the easier it becomes to sell your services as an artist.
