Do You Know How To Build A Successful Acting Career?
By Anthony Lee Smith

Are you just getting started in your acting career? Have you been acting for some time now and aren’t satisfied with the amount of work you’ve been able to get? Are you getting work consistently, but only making enough money to make ends meet? Do you want to kick start your acting career? If after reading those questions, you feel compelled to read on, think about the following:

Difficulties Many Of Us Actors Sometimes Face

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

·Not being sent out on many auditions.

·Rarely getting called back.

·No agent and not sure how to get one.

·Not many industry contacts and can’t seem to meet that industry professional I would really like to meet.

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

·Able to book jobs, but not always able to keep them.

·Sending out materials—audition tapes, headshots, and résumés—but not getting the types of responses you would like or none at all!

·Don’t have the money to take classes, so just taking a workshop every now and again instead of going to a school or regular classes. It’s been the situation for months. Maybe even years.

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

·Difficult to prepare well for auditions, because of work. Either too tired or just not enough time in the day to work on your acting career!

·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 headshots.

·Not sure how to choose a headshot photographer!

·Don't know how on earth it's possible to make a résumé, if I don’t have anything to put on it! How on earth can I start an acting career!
