Talent and Difficult Function Are Required

By Sean Tanner


The first thing you need to appreciate if you want to know about how to become a good actor is that you will have to be able to act. There are very few examples of anyone becoming a renowned thespian if they cannot perform better than the next person. Yes you may blag your way to an audition, and you might even get a part, but if you cannot act, it will only be the one.

When Daniel Radcliffe was cast as Harry Potter all those years ago, he had already been through an exhaustive auditioning process on how to become an actor, until, not only the Director, but the producers and others believed he was the best person for the job. Even then had he not proven his ability as they were making the first movie, you can be absolutely sure he would have been unceremoniously dispensed with and replaced with someone else. Of course history now shows that not only was he a perfect choice for that part but he has gone on to impress West End and Broadway audiences in Equus, and the movie the Woman in Black further cemented his credentials.

The same can be said about all the other greats of the day, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina and their peers. You have actors who make very few films, such as Daniel Day Lewis, but each one is unsurpassable, and then you have the jobbing actors who can make dozens, like Michael Cain, yet nobody would criticise his work.

You ought to contemplate taking elocution lessons or drama classes in becoming an actor should you think you've got what it takes, and in case you are of an age you'll be able to do a drama program at your neighborhood college. Join a neighborhood amateur dramatic society; they may be often trying to find members. This can be an excellent way of understanding your craft, as well as the way to take and realize course. Should you trawl the net you will discover any variety of casting calls for actors and actresses. They are going to almost certainly not be for the major roles, but bear in mind you've got to begin someplace. Should you can land oneself a tiny speaking portion, and you deliver your lines properly, then you might be on your way.

It is a sad fact that for every highly paid, famous actor there is probably at least a thousand hard working wannabes who hope their day will come. The harsh reality is that without talent you really have no chance of reaching the very top, but you can make a good living by setting your sights a little lower.
