  1. Common Misconceptions Made by Aspiring Actors From the outside things can appear much different than they actually are, and this is especially true for actors in the making. Award shows like the Screen Actors Guild and the Academy Awards only show the rewards of successful acting careers. Many of the actors there worked very hard to make it to that point in their careers. Anything worth striving for takes work, and acting is no different. Here are some common misconceptions made by actors in the making. No Training Needed:Some people assume that acting is a profession that does not require any schooling. Yes, some actors have happened to land roles without experience, but this is not always the case. Almost everyone can benefit from education in the field they want to dedicate themselves to. Acting classes are available at colleges, community centers, and private facilities. Seek out a class on the particular style of acting you wish to improve. A bit of training can only make a good actor even better. I need an Agent to Get Work: Before jumping into big screen productions, every actor/actress in the making should start with small jobs. Search for college productions or independent films that are looking for new faces to act in small productions. Most of these productions are not high paying, but they give the actor some real experience. An agent will usually request 10% of the earnings an actor receives, but if you are not experienced there is no need for an agent just yet. In time, an agent or manager may be necessary, but there is no reason to be paying out to someone if you are not bringing in enough income. Fame and Fortune:The entertainment industry makes no guarantees. The sensation for this month could be gone by the following year. Staying relevant and constantly working, is really the only way to guarantee success. Fame and fortune will not be promised after your first acting performance. Background movie roles do not provide the same payment, so stay realistic about your career, but also stay positive!

  2. Acting is Easy:Did you know that in the 2011 horror film Resident Evil, 16 zombie extras were injured while on set? These were not even the lead roles and these actors were injured during a single take. Acting requires concentration and submersion, in order to really work. We visit the movies because we believe in our favorite actors. That would not be possible if they were not working hard to make us believers.
