Question

What are the steps to becoming an aspiring actor?

Answer 1

There are no steps to becoming an aspiring actor. That's just somebody who wants to be an actor.

Now, the steps to becoming a WORKING actor are going to be different for every person, depending on what facet of the acting world you want to go into and what sort of connections you happen to be blessed with, but the two things you need are training and experience.

You can get training by taking acting classes in school, by participating in acting workshops, or by enrolling in regular acting classes. Which of these is most appropriate for you depends on your age and talent level, but the best route to have a successful career that I can suggest is by going to college and getting a performance degree. Think about getting training in dance and singing as well, even if you don't plan to go the musical theater route; the things you'll learn will carry over into straight acting (control over your body, knowledge of voice production, etc).

You get experience just by getting onstage and performing; a good way for a beginner to do that is by doing school plays and/or community theater, and then eventually branching out into more professional work as your ability dictates.

When you're ready to branch out into professonal work, you can worry about things like getting headshots done and finding an agent. You'll learn how to handle all this when along with your training, provided the people you're learning from know what they're doing.
