  1. Performing in real theatres...If you really want to be serious in acting, forget about Youtube... the key point is to be an artist. Just pursue it, perform, perform, perform, in any possible play to get seen by as many people possible... You also have to identify a style that you want. A person, group, or company that really make you think "I want to do that". Find a way to practice with their technique (and i said practice, rather than study). practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way. Make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy. Being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish.  Best of luck


  2. utube and the web are not the way to go.  do all the acting you can everywhere you can. it take years and years. there is no fast way.

  3. Be talented. Talent garners recognition.

    Beyond that, you have to learn to be the best marketer you can be. Ultimately, you're going to be the one doing this, you can't rely on a manager or agent, you have to sell yourself and learn to be a businessman. Do you have business cards, postcards, a webpage? Every time you do a show, showcase have something featured, etc you should do mailings to let people in the biz know about it. At some point (only in LA or NYC) you may even hire a publicist, whose job it will be to get you in the papers.

    Check out the book "SElf marketing for actors" by Bonnie Gillespie.

    Also, realize that there is no "fast" way. It takes years and years of work to become a working actor, and many never make it that far. If you put time contraints on yourself, you're only setting yourself up for failure.

  4. IF YOU LIVE IN NY - TRY TO GET IN SOME OFF BROADWAY THEATER.

    IF YOU LIVE IN LA AND ARE FUNNY - TRY THE IMPROV, COMEDY STORE, GROUNDLINGS.

    IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN THESE CITIES - TRY MAKING A GOOD SHORT FILM AND ENTERING IT IN FILM FESTIVALS.

    BEST OF ALL - GET A GREAT ACTING COACH AND KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. IMPROVING AND LEARNING. GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AS AN ACTOR WILL GET YOU RECOGNIZED. PEOPLE WILL BEGIN TO TALK ABOUT YOU AND SOMEONE WHO MAY BE CASTING SOMETHING MAY HEAR ABOUT YOU, READ A REVIEW ABOUT YOU IN THE PAPER.

    GET YOURSELF OUT THERE!

    GET GOOD AND GET SEEN!

    GOOD LUCK!
