Is there any easy way to break in to show biz?

Yes, if Goldie Hawn is your mum or Michael Douglas is your dad.

Seriously though for us actor and actress folk we have to find a

way to work our way in. And it can be easy if you know what to

do.

Firstly understand that success for anyone in any field, sport,

business or acting doesn’t happens over night. The stories you

hear don’t tell you about the YEARS of hard work, study, and

mental conditioning successful people have endured prior to

their success.

Noami Watts slogging it out for 10 years in L.A before she had

her first major break and guess what she was slogging it out in

Australia before that.

Tiger Woods (I love to compare successful athletes and

successful actors) is a success why? Because he found his

passion and turned it into making a living but he’s worked long

and hard to get to such great heights. Do you think he doesn’t

practice EVERYDAY? Even when he has a day off you know what he’s

doing? Practicing his swing.

That’s the drive you need to become a GREAT success story.

But when you find something you LOVE doing like ACTING, it’s not

hard to find that drive and determination and that passion

inside.

To the Actor and Actress:

Sit now for a minute and ask yourself

why did I choose to become an actor? Really ask yourself.

Connect to that passion and love you have for the craft inside

you.

Everyday that you remember why you are an actor doing what it

takes to become successful is EASY. It is such an amazing

energetic force it can move mountains.

Success is EASY when you STAIR STEP IT.

Ask what’s ONE thing can I do TODAY to take me closer to my

dream?

Find a play or a short film to get involved with, do a mail out

to casting agents, work on a monologue, sign up for a class or

work on your voice.

To you the Actor and Actress you can be a success!

Think about all the rich successful millionaires out there. Do

you think they literally made their first million over night? No

they had to put particular infrastructure and visions into

place. They didn’t try to make a million with out first making

$10’000 then $20’000, then $50’000, then $200’000 and so forth.

It’s the same with acting don’t try to become a film star until

you’ve made some short films, you can use great roles in short

films to build your show reel, build confidence, and use the

confidence you’ve gained to pitch your self for the bigger

roles. And definitely get involved with theatre you will learn a

gold mine of wealth about the craft and the way you work as an

actor.

Think about it this way. You’re walking somewhere, you know

where you are heading and with each step you are moving one step

closer to your destination. It’s no different with success.

So take a step toward it today.

To Your Acting Success
