in our country has not yet established Western tradition - to have his personal manager, and aspiring actor, he would not afford.Accordingly, self-promotion is necessary to deal with the actor himself, which requires considerable effort.
But what to do besides aspiring actor of his acting talent to make himself the rank of sought-after actors, rather than languishing on the sidelines in cheap series.It was in this article.
portfolio Acting as the start of a career.
The first thing that needs to be done aspiring actor, is acting to capture high-quality portfolio.The best solution would be if you otsnimite his acting portfolio with an independent photographer, but better - two or three.This will give you an independent view of three different photographers who accentuate different features of your looks and acting talent.
Why freelance photographer?This is due to the fact that many agencies casting earn it on photographing actors, rather than casting.Proceeding from this, the actor can, at best, with a portfolio of big money, but without a role.
As a rule, it becomes visible and understandable when the agency says that the actor is required to make the acting portfolio they have, or exactly in the studio, they will, alluding to the fact that otherwise acting portfolio made elsewhere, will not come even before consideration.
I think that should not be explained that bind to such agencies should neither for taking pictures or for the role.
In compiling acting portfolio, note that the photos included in it should be performed in the studio, with even illumination on a solid (black, white or gray) background, show the proportions of the figure of the actor, and especially his appearance, fully reveal its type and the ability to goin the image.
in their demands to the portfolio images of actor completely forget about artistic photos on the bright make-up and serious image processing in Photoshop.Photos should show the actor such as it is, not different his artistry.Otherwise, aspiring actor risks not qualify for the role of not even attending on him, which is very unpleasant.
First Steps
After making his first acting portfolio, together with the necessary application form with your data as often as possible to send him various kating agency.
If you do it at regular intervals, then sooner or later one or another agency will invite you to the audition.Over time, the invitations will be more and more, you just have to remind myself often.
Also do not forget the most frequently visited web resources, which publishes information on auditions, and they are actively offering itself.
Participation in the crowd
not disdain participation in crowd scenes in the movie.Money there are small, but the participation in the crowd will give you the chance to meet with the director and other staff, making the decision on a set of actors on different projects, both in the cinema, as in television.
participation in television projects
Another way to start the novice actor, it's part in television projects and programs.For example, in court, and other programs that show, which is now, thank God, sufficient.
This will give you, even if small, but the practice, as well as the chance to meet with the right people.Not to mention the chance to shine on the TV screen, getting practice added to the list, albeit small, but still roles.
Working in the theater
important step for the novice actor will be a device in the theater.The first advantage of this move - a constant practice and a steady income.Income, often in many theaters are not the biggest, but allows himself to provide a living wage.
Recall the famous actors of modern cinema: Aleksandr Bezrukov, Anton Habensky Semyon Strugachev ... Each of them has a constant practice of acting in theater productions, and in parallel is engaged in cinema, and very successfully.Therefore - the device novice actor in the theater - an important step that should not be omitted, but on the contrary - they should take advantage, and the sooner the better.
Actor and conducting celebrations
Many actors disdain conducting ceremonies and events, considering it bytovuhoy.However, this type of employment can, in the first pair, give a serious perk, as well as a serious practice, because you have to play very close to the audience and without duplicates, as in the theater.
Another thing, if the actor is wallowing in the conduct of festivals and performances at drunken parties for his becoming the only kind of employment and earnings.
Keeping celebrations - not for the purpose of a professional actor, but a way of development and earnings at the beginning of his acting career.Good luck to you
acting career.Sincerely, professional photographer Leonid Starikov.
