How do I go for becoming an actress?

How would go about becoming a model/actress in Georgia?

• Answer:

  Why do so many people seem to think that acting and modelling are somehow related? They're not - they're totally different, separate careers. Modelling is no more like acting than carpentry is to nursing. The sort of person who wants to be an actor is very rarely the sort who wants to be a model! Modelling is all about looks - no talent, intelligence, imagination, training, experience, or education is required. Models love to be fashionable, spend hours on their hair, nails, and make-up, and their appearance is all-important to them. Acting is all about talent, intelligence, education and imagination – actors have very little interest in fashion and all that pointless stuff - and they have to get years of training and experience before anything will happen. And as they're totally difference careers, you're going to have to choose what sort of person you are. And if you choose acting - don't ever mention modelling - actors have no respect for models, as the vast majority seem to be air-headed narcissists. Basically, to make a start as an actor, you'd need to - 1) Have loads of natural talent. 2) Get a few years of training at a good, accredited acting school, going from the basic classes to advanced ones. 3) Get experience in a wide range of stage plays and shows – not regular high school stuff 4) Learn to sing and dance if possible. 5) Train for a good ordinary job as well, one you can work free-lance, as you’ll need it. Almost all actors work at least one other job just to survive. 6) Ideally study Drama at degree-level at drama school or university. 7) After all the above, try to find an agent who will accept you. 8) When you get an agent, which is how you find auditions, try to win a few auditions out of the hundreds you'll have to apply for. Just bear in mind that all that hard work isn't enough - you also need huge talent, dedication, determination, resilience and luck. And sadly, the best that almost all actors will ever get is 2 or 3 weeks paid acting work a year - that's the average - and will never get more than a few minor roles in small productions.
