Would you become an actor given the chance? A chance at making lots of money and fame sounds good to a lot of us but are you willing to give what it takes?
The fact is that getting the opportunity to act in a motion picture movie or even a thirty second commercial sounds great, but it also involves long hours in front of a camera and production crew under hot lights. Most of us work an 8-10 hour day and go home with weekends off, where an actor can work up to 16-20 hours per day, seven days a week for months on end. Then of course there is the photo opportunities you must take and all the hard work involved in remembering your lines and putting 100% of yourself into the character you will portray with many takes over and over again on the same scene.
Most of us only thing of the fortune and fame and not really think of what it takes after your in the business. Getting there is only half of the battle.
Are you willing to add weight for a roll? or loose weight for that matter. Are you willing to do what it takes to get there? This is a question that you should ask yourself if you are thinking of getting into the business. Some people spend thousands trying to get into the business and the truth of the matter is that it just takes persistence.
Keeping on top of all the agents you submit your picture to is key.
What I would like to get are some comments on those that have been in the business and if you have give some comments on how someone can break into the business themselves. What are your thoughts?
