How do I help myself become a better Actor?

Question

I love acting and it's my dream to become a Hollywood Actor.

Can anyone tell me some good advice or some exercises?

Answer 1

How to become better? Practice, practice, practice! Get involved with some stuff. Don't kill me for saying this if you're not into it but get into some community plays/musicals. That would be good for you. And if you're already doing it then, whoops! <<<Useless advise. -_- And you might become a Hollywood actor, but you'll need to be really good. I'm aiming for Broadway, myself.

You could hire a teacher to help you with your acting skills, but if you don't have the money, or you just don't want to, go over some stuff with your family/friends. If you're too embaressed-GET OVER IT. You'll be doing it alot for other people if you get to the big screen! Good luck in you're dream, e-mail me when you get on the Silver Screen!  

Answer 2

Don't rehearse alone! when your alone, you can't get feedback, try rehearsing with a friend or family member, ask them for feedback and tell them to be brutal, because, usually, your family and friends are too afraid to give you an honest answer, but who ever your auditioning for is soo not afraid, trust me. Also, if you get turned down at one audition, don't give up, alot if they times, they are very specific with what they wants, maybe a short blonde guy, or a tall curly hair dark skinned person, its usually not you

Okay so chances are that your not gonna become a Hollywood actor, but it  might happen, and don't hate me for sating that. Some good acting exercises I like doing, are if your rehearsing than act out your scene with someone else reading the other persons lines and then record it. That way later on you can go back and do the blocking while listening to other peoples lines and your own.

If you don't have anything to rehearse for than you could just go online or pick up a book for your local library and then read it and let your imagination flow and make up a little mini play for yourself in front of the mirror. It's wicked fun, just don't let anyone catch you they may think it's weird.

And just believe in yourslef and use your imagination.
