If you don&#8217;t have connections, endless time and money, or the most sublime luck on earth, many think this job is impossible to capture.&nbsp; That may be true for some acting gigs, but it&#8217;s not the case for everything.&nbsp; You don&#8217;t have to be skinny tall, and blonde to get into acting; most roles don&#8217;t call for that!&nbsp; The most important thing you need is perseverance and a little know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the top ways you can get into acting, like <a href=\"https:\/\/specialguestapp.com\/profile\/cherie-johnson\/\">Cherie Jonson<\/a>, without having to worry about being a flop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You Don&#8217;t Need Those Five Hundred Dollar Headshots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A classic scam some young actresses still fall for is those companies that promise them the world if they&#8217;ll buy some headshots from them.&nbsp; Please don&#8217;t fall for it.&nbsp; Phone cameras are at the height of some professional cameras.&nbsp; It would help if you had a simple background, some right makeup, and a little editing, and you can create professional-looking photos without throwing your money away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be Your Agent For The First Year or Two<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think that you initially need an agent, but when you don&#8217;t have any experience under your belt yet, you could be throwing away your money before you earn it.&nbsp; Spend a year or two getting to know the acting circuit and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acrwebsite.org\/volumes\/6689\/volumes\/v14\/NA-14\">getting your name out there<\/a>, and agents will approach you instead.&nbsp; Be confident when talking about your percentages, and make sure that your agent is committed to finding you work that you&#8217;ll want to do and that will pay what you deserve.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t hire the first agent that approaches you just because they came.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take Small Roles, But Never Do Things For \u2018Experience\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you must get jobs so that you can fill out your resume or reel, you shouldn&#8217;t accept jobs where you&#8217;re not paid unless it&#8217;s for a cause you believe in.&nbsp; Refusing to do free work may make you feel like you miss out on connections, but all you&#8217;re missing out on is someone else profiting off your hard work.&nbsp; Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backstage.com\/magazine\/article\/social-media-actor-need-3993\/\">work to show your value<\/a> and possibly create small scripts and scenarios for yourself to monologue.&nbsp; Some actresses use YouTube and Tik Tok to broaden their audience and gain attention while not giving away free labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilize Whatever Sites You Can<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although some companies claim that they can represent you and find you jobs, it&#8217;ll be difficult if they aren&#8217;t a verified agent.&nbsp; Listings, where you can show off your skills and how to get contacted, are handy, but if someone isn&#8217;t an agent, don&#8217;t let them charge you like they are.&nbsp; You deserve the money you earn from the time and skill you put in.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t let a company rob that from you!&nbsp; Instead, you can hunt for acting jobs through sites like Backstage, Playbill, and even Craigslist.&nbsp; If you&#8217;re young or vulnerable, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.austinfilmmeet.com\/library\/acting-2\/dos-and-donts-of-actor-casting-call-submissions\/\">don\u2019t meet up with any casting directors or companies without someone<\/a> either dropping you off or staying and waiting with you.&nbsp; Be safe.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The acting world is notoriously difficult to break into.&nbsp;
