March 18, 2022
Life always seem better when you are in the spotlight.
As a creative, you must inspire for the fame and fortune that comes from appearing on big screens. However, like every other dream, most people give up on these hopes.
The reason for this is because acting, like every other occupation, requires indepth knowledge, practice and experience inorder to seamlessly navigate the potential obstacles that may arise along your career path.
To avoid falling to the same pitfall, it is important to identify the tips to make your career a smooth ride.
TIP 1: Join an acting class
To catch fish, you need to learn how to fish. This means you cannot attain mastery unless you undergo training.
With the help of experienced instructors, it is easy and fast for you to learn acting skills.
Fortunately for us at Del-York Creative Academy, we have experienced trainers from Hollywood that can equip you with global standard acting skills.
TIP 2: Join a local theatre
Another way to say this is “join an acting group”.
While classroom training is a good start, practicing all you’ve learnt will only improve your skill set and level of expertise.
An acting group is also a good place to build your confidence as an actor, avail yourself of networking opportunities, and stick your ears to industry news that can play a pivotal role in your career.
TIP 3: Find auditions and casting calls
As you boost your confidence, it’s also important to put yourself out. Go for auditions, casting calls and even commercial sets and begin to put your newfound skills to test.
Peer to peer referrals are one way but you can also sign up to acting directories and alumni platforms if your acting school has any (like DCA).
TIP 4: Build a professional resume
As you learn and earn from your newly acquired knowledge, branding yourself will take you notches higher in your Acting journey.
We strongly recommend that you build a professional acting resume. There are loads of free resources that can help you create one.
In addition, build your portfolio alongside. You can do this by having a YouTube channel for all your work clips.
It all begins at DCA
