How does one get into professional acting? (theatre productions, film, etc)?
-
I recently enrolled in a few drama and theatre related courses as electives for the upcoming fall and winter semesters, as my university offers courses in acting, speech, theatre studies, etc, for non-theater and drama majors. I do not really want to try and change my major to theatre as I feel my prospective computer science degree is good to fall back on, but still I am curious as how to begin a career as an actor. If I do find that I enjoy these courses and want to take it further, what would I have to do? I am 21 years old if that makes any difference, and I have a fair amount of talents and hobbies, both common and uncommon, i.e., certified scuba diver, veteran snow boarder, musician, as I know producers will need actors with these talents for certain roles no matter how minor or major they are. Thank you.

Answer:
How you get into prefessional acting is by getting an agent. You do this by having an amazing resume listed with all the performing arts things you've done, like: acting classes, improv classes, student films you've been in, indi. films, and theatre, theatre looks excellent on a resume. Then after years of doing this you can start to send out your headshots and resumes out to legit agencies in you area. In this case I guess would be Toronto, CA. But make SURE they're LEGIT. And by legit I mean that they don't make you pay anything upfront at all. If they do its a scam and run away. So that's how you get into prefessional acting. Hope i helped
