Acting: Tips & Advice
Who says that you can't write a best-selling novel in less than 6 months? Who said that you couldn't be a Award-Winning Actress? Who said that you can't make a million dollars in less than a week? Everyone might tell you that, they all might try to bring you down, but the only person that can truly do that, is yourself. I've learned that throughout my 17 years on Earth. It's hard to think that the only thing standing between me and my plans, is me. I like planning stuff out before it happens, like a vision come to life. I want to be able to show the world my writing and at the same time live through my writing. I figure that if I write enough stories people will realize how important this is to me and they will start supporting me. You don't need supporters to make your dreams come true, all you need is you. Supporters will be a helping-hand, but you don't need them. I only have a few supporters and that's my mom, and couple of friends---no one I go to school with or live around. That's why I am learning that you don't need supporters to make your dreams reality, all you need is hope, confidence, hard work, effort, time, and a place where you can just escape to get your work done. I also learned that you can't just say you are going to do something because saying it won't make it come true neither will believing in it. In order for the believing to work you have to get up off the sofa and do research, make phone calls, send emails. You have to literally get up and do it. When I was younger I thought movie producers will just come knock on your door and ask you if you wanted to me in a movie, But now I know it's a way longer process. You have to get experience, and then after you feel like you have enough( get at least a couple of years. Maybe 8 months-3-8 years) , get an agent, who will then call you in for a interview, and be sure to show that agent that you belong to their company and you deserve to be represented by them. They will be the ones who find you auditions, and keep in mind, you won't fit all. If you get an audition it's only so likely that you will fit that part. As an actor, you will HAVE to take rejection because there will be a lot of it. I don't mean to bust anyone's bubble but you may get rejected 50, 90, 200 times before you land a role, acting is hard and you just have deal with the whole package. It's like a box of crackers you buy from the store, each one you eat could be stale and then finally you bite one that taste fresh. That cracker will be your ROLE your PART. Now, you just have to show and give everything you got. As an Actor you should spend at least an hour learning your lines, because if you are prepared when they call you back---Callback. They will know that you're taking your job seriously, and that will give you a good reputation in Hollywood. It's best to began acting at an early age because the earlier you start the more experience you can gain. When I was younger that was when I was more brave, I loved reading out loud, talking in public, singing, dancing, and everything. That would of been a good age to start off my career. But now that I am older, I am more nervous, and care about my peers opinion. Even though I shouldn't, I do. I am starting to kind of get out of that phase though, everyone at my school basically knows I want to be an actress, and some are like " Yeah Right." While others are like " If you are going to dream you may as well dream big." I really don't understand that either even my " Friends" say that. That just goes to show what kind of people I hangout with. I am ready for this whole " Wannabe" " Going-to-be" thing to be over with, I don't live close enough to any theater, my school doesn't have a drama club so I am stuck waiting to go to college or something. It's at least a year or two away but I have a long way to go in life, I am only 17. I have a lot of confidence in EVERYTHING I do and that's what everyone needs, they need confidence. I want to share my confidence, advice, and tips to everyone on whatever they need them on. No matter if it's singing, dancing, writing, acting, sports. I am here to give you that little bit of confidence that you need. If you need any advice on anything, email me at: eslick.kira@gmail.com or send me a direct message on biopage.
