Answer 2

- Read a lot - learn about as many things as you possibly can.

- Go to every audition you can find at schools and community theaters.  Be prepared for rejection, but remember it’s not because you aren’t good enough, it’s because you aren’t what they’re looking for.  

- Accept even the smallest part, and if they don’t offer you anything, volunteer for tech or house work.  

- Whatever you end up doing, be reliable.  

- Be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting, unnoticed.  

- When you make a commitment, live up to it—even if something better comes along.

- Remember, even if you’re playing the lead, it isn’t about you.

- Experience is the best teacher, possibly the only one that’s of any use.

- And finally, be aware that the average annual income for a professional actor is something like $1,000!
