Why Acting Isn't A Bed Of
Roses!
by: Eve

Is the world
your stage?
The life of an actor
involves long periods of
unemployment, intense
competition for roles, and
frequent rejections in
auditions. They need formal
training through a
university though some of
them do get roles on the
basis of their experience
and talent alone. They have
to hold other jobs to
supplement their erratic
incomes. Actors strive
to deliver flawless
performances. Their job is to
express ideas and create images
in theater, film, radio,
television, and other performing
arts media.
They should be
physically fit and have the
necessary stamina and
coordination to move about
theater stages and large movie
and television studio lots.
Actors need talent, creative
ability, and training that will
enable them to portray different
characters. Experience in
horseback riding, fencing, or
stage combat are add-ons that
can get them early recognition
amidst fierce competition.
Acting as a
career is for those who love it
passionately. If you're
passionate about acting then it
is certainly worth the time and
effort and any sacrifice you
make for it seems worthwhile.
You will perhaps have to take a
part-time job to pay your bills
while you pursue your acting
career or work evening hours to
leave the daytime hours free for
acting auditions and classes to
further your acting training.
During these taxing times it's
only your passion that can keep
you going and striving to
improve your acting skills.
Nothing short
of such dogged perseverance will
do for making an acting career a
success. It is not a smooth
career, even for the best actors
and actresses. You have to learn
to take the punches. You have to
learn to handle rejection. And
at the same time, you have to go
on trying and not accept no for
an answer.
Many
professional actors rely on
agents or managers to find work,
negotiate contracts, and plan
their careers. Others rely
solely on attending open
auditions for parts. Trade
publications list the times,
dates, and locations of these
auditions. If you are thinking
of becoming a professional
actor, you should start getting
practical experience to build an
acting resume and get involved
in lots of local community,
school and church plays. Go to
as many auditions as you can. If
you don't get a part in a play,
then volunteer to help on the
stage, costume, set design or
lighting crews to gain
experience in how the performing
business works.
But if you
truly love acting and you can
take the ups and downs that go
along with an acting career in
your stride, then you should put
in your best to make a success
of it. Get the training in a
college and study drama or get a
private acting coach. In the
end, the rewards that come from
an acting career are worth the
struggle, provided you're made
of the right stuff.
