Question

acting is my passion and i would love to start acting in movies and shows like disney and evrything..help me fulfill my dream??!!!!!

Answer 1

I don't know a good way to get there. Sorry. But I am also trying to full fill my dream and just having a casting director knowing your face is a good place to start. Like they could see your headshots and be like "I don't want this girl for this particural part but keep her on file I want to see if she would be interested in doing a comerical, show, movie,ect."

So you should do some research on the web and send your headshots and resume to everything casting director you can find!

Answer 2

The absolute #1 best way to launch a career in acting:

C-O-L-L-E-G-E

Go to school, get a performance degree. You'll learn everything you need to know about your craft and the industry to have a solid career, and having a degree on your resume will show casting directors that you're serious enough about acting to dedicate time learning about it.

And besides, if you really are passionate about acting and not just trying to get rich and famous, then I'm sure you want to learn as much as you can about it. You'll learn a LOT about it in college.

Answer 4

To get started in an acting career, you need to start small to end big.. Be in drama and chorus in school, Try out for school plays even if your not the main character it's good experience, also do after school plays and musicals. Singing and dancing lessons would be good also.. Next after you've done about 3 plays and 1 musical look into professional acting classes, simply google acting classes in your area and check them out. This could take years. I've been acting singing and dancing for 6 years and still doing that, because im not ready for an agent, don't rush yourself into anything.. and do every opportunity you have to act.

There are lots of ways to fortify your presence, skills and ability as an actress. Here are some specific tips.

1). If you are auditioning for a character or have already been cast in a part, sit down with the scene/script and read it through a couple of times. Figure out HOW to say the lines by looking for the purpose behind the line. There needs to be a purpose to the lines, right?! For example, if the line was: "I don't understand."...is the character frustrated? Angry? Surprised? Hurt? A combination of feelings? Practice and experiment with tone!! Now, say it out loud in a million different ways to see which sounds the most natural, the most in character...

2). Keep in mind the following "P's" of Performing:

*Pace (of a scene)

*Pitch (singing/speaking)

*Projection (loudness and softness plays a role in HOW lines are delivered and even influences the emotions felt by the audience if executed properly)

*Pause (for dramatic beats and moments, but don't use them too often)

*Pronunciation (/diction)

*Precense (a character's presence/essense means SOO much on stage. Your job is to convince the audience--and yourself--that you ARE a character. And if you give off the right "vibe" from your character and play it with accurate body language and line delivery, people will be drawn to your performance).

*Purpose (every character has a purpose. Otherwise he/she would not be in the show. Why is your character here? etc.)

3). Practice in front of a mirror. Watch your eyes when you speak and even your eyebrows, your lips, your cheek bones, your neck muscles, your posture, your fingers, abdomen etc. Watch how your body moves with each line and keep yourself (and your body) 120% in character. For example, if you are playing an uptight, nervous, strict character, each muscle and structure in your body should represent that. That will also help you to deliever your lines in response to your body, carrying your character full circle, keeping you loyal to your character.

4). Get inspired!! Watch great actresses on screen. See how the same person can portray several different roles, like Meryl Streep; she played a lead in The Devil Wears Prada and in Mamma Mia! and pulld both off with exquisite brilliance and poise. Notice how some of the most brilliant actresses make you--the audience--feel emotionally, almost physically and mentally what they are displaying. Continue to keep yourself excited in this field. Passion drives success!

5). In terms of acting on Disney channel and such, you are going to need a talent agent who will keep you on top of upcoming auditions in local areas.

Best of luck to you.
