The best, and most effective tips on becoming an actor?

Question

I have always wanted to be an actor for years. I have read various tips and I do understand that the industry is tough. But I am looking for deep, explainative tips that are really effective? Any ideas? Thank you.

Answer 1

First of all, you need to find an agent. They help people find the right auditions.

Answer 2

Do it for the love of acting, not the desire for fame or fortune. Work your way up in school, community and professional theatre. Take every role that comes your way and train with the best people you can find. And finally don't be in a rush to have a career (which is what being an actor is) before you're 18 - enjoy your childhood!
