How To Become An Actor By Filming Yourself

I've been digging around the Internet, searching for tips on how to become an actor. This is something I'm really passionate about and am collecting all the ideas I can. Recently I came across a very helpful article at Articlebiz.com.

According to the article, one of the best ways to break into acting is to work or volunteer at your local theater, drama, or film department. The experience can often get you film time for your resume, as well as audition clips.

But what if you don't have a local film department?

Well, here's what Articlebiz.com has to say:

"If you find there just aren't any local theater, film, or drama departments in your area that suit you, you'll have to go at it alone. Buy, borrow, or rent a camcorder and start making your own performance videos. Start shooting yourself acting a scene from your favorite movie. Then move on to classical theatrical monologues you'll find online and in books at the library. After taping several quick video clips, move on to making your own short films. Ask your friends to participle in them with you. And have your friends and family critique your acting ability. Keep making them and
you'll improve."

Bottom line is learning how to become an actor is many times about improvising. By showing a little creativity and persistence, you can make great headway in reaching your acting dreams.

Here's a link to the article.

P.S. If you're really
serious about discovering how to become an actor, then check out the audio course by Calvin Jung, "Instant Acting Tips". It's fantastic. Calvin has worked with some of the biggest names in the business including Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and Mel Gibson. Even though it's all audio (I'm more of a visual) kind of guy, I highly recommend this course. Check it out.
