And the first thing I want to say is don’t believe the hype! It’s not all it’s cracked up to be – It’s HARD WORK! By that I mean it’s hard work to make it, and it’s just as hard to maintain your career once you are at the top. We actresses work long days and nights and there is a lot of time away from family and friends.

That said it can also be fun and the money is good! Not to mention all the people that want to be my friend just because I’m famous!

So here ae my top tips for becoming an actress:

  1. Take acting classes. If you want to learn how to get into acting learning from professionals is advised
  2. Go to LA or New York. It’s best to be where the action is if you can.
  3. Get an agent or publicist. This can really, really help as they know the ropes and the people in the industry – they know what productions are on the horizon -they will want a cut of your profits though
  4. Audition, audition, audition. You may be discovered on the street but it is more liekly you will be found if you go to auditions
  5. Make a résumé. If you have been in theatre work ot TV commercials then make a résumé to take with you to your auditions
  6. Be prepared to be rejected. All of the great actresses have been rejected once or twice or a hundred times.
  7. Stay positive. You need to keep your chin up.

If those tips are not enough for you there are some other good guides on how to become an actress that you could check out – some of these go into more detail.

The bottom line folks is stick at it! You can live your dream.
