Next Steps When Acting is Your Passion

Acquiring a passion for acting is often a surprise at first. Many people who end up invested in it enough to make it their career didn’t even think about it as an option before they took that first step onstage. Acting is a transitory career by necessity, but the kinds of bonds you form with other actors and the crew are connections you’ll remember for a lifetime. For those who ascend to the greatest heights, acting can also be extremely rewarding in both the financial and fame aspects. Let’s say your passion is acting, and you’ve decided to devote your life to it. What should you do next? How do you get to the next level? Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are reaching for the stars.

1. Experience

Actors need experience of all kinds in order to start climbing that ladder. It’s true that there are no small parts, only small actors. People don’t want to work with an egotistical person who thinks they are better or more talented than others; actors like this frequently miss their opportunity. You’ll need experience in every kind of role to understand your craft, and to learn how to work onstage or on set. It’s also good to remember that this is how you get discovered. If you’re out there in the public eye, performing in any part, it’s far more likely that others will see you and want to cast you in their projects.

2. Networking

Although experience is the number one asset for any actor, networking is the other side of that coin. Nobody can hire you if they don’t know who you are. Try to attend as many film festivals and theatrical events as possible. Build your network over time. This means that if you’ve met producers or directors, they might consider you for a role because they already know who you are and what you’re like. This is primarily a business of relationships, and attending festivals shows that you’re dedicated to the dream.

3. Education

Classes can help further your acting career immensely. While it’s important to get real-life experience onstage or on set, it’s important to hone your craft by attending workshops and participating in other educational opportunities. If you have the money to spare, hiring an acting coach is a great way to show your commitment to your craft as well as learning one-on-one about performing. Taking on the identity of another person can be an incredibly difficult task and learning from the best is a good place to start.

4. Social Media

Building your brand is a necessary part of being an actor today. There are directors who actively look for actors with a strong social media following to help promote the film or television program. Invest some time online to build your brand and make sure you’re interacting with other people. It’s all about visibility.

If acting is truly your passion, you must commit to it in the way anyone who wants a career will commit to their own training and improvement. This means going outside of your comfort zone and learning all of the time. A combination of education, experience, networking, and a focus on your social media presence will help elevate you to the next level of your career.
