  • Acting is a born talent (of varying degrees) that can be polished. The amount of polishing needed varies from person to person. The desire to act is NOT necessarily in proportion to the talent to act. The reasons people desire to act very, falling loosely into these categories: a desire for fame, for money, for glamor, for fulfillment, for self-expression, a love for the ART of acting, or because acting is a necessity like food and water. But the bottom line is that if you are born with a talent for acting, you can not lose that talent and may become easier for you to be an actor.
  • However, it is absolutely essential to get a proper professional training, preferably by a good acting coach, especially if you are a beginner

Casting Director Are Ruining Actors | 9 Tips To Ensure Job


The frustration of Aspiring Bollywood actors
The frustration of Aspiring Bollywood actors 


Yes, Casting Directors Will Wreck Your Future!
You Will Be Rejected In Every Audition
Do You Know Why?
You  Don't Know The Level Of Competition And Pressures
Your Audition Etiquettes And Performance Is Mediocre
Are You Scared?
Don't Worry
Learn 9 Sure And Simple  Steps To Force Casting Directors To Select You


How To Enter | Introduce And Shoot 


1. Smile! A smile from the moment you walk in the door to greet them! It's an important sign of friendliness, and it lets your possible future employers know what kind of professionalism they can expect from you.

2. Stand at the marked place


3. Enter like a star but without any arrogance. Just express confidence. 


4. Hand over your headshots and resume, if not given earlier


5. Since every audition is different, be flexible and pay close attention when given instructions prior to (and during) an audition.


6. Wait for few seconds for instructions. If no instructions are forthcoming, ask a polite question like "May I introduce myself, please?


7. Then speak your name and contact details and may be few words about your background and experience, if you have any.


8. Then, again wait for further instructions on auditions


9. Relax and shoot!



    Ways to Improve Your Auditions


    Prepare your audition pieces. Rehearse them as you would rehearse a play. Work on them with a coach, director or another knowledgeable colleague. Be as confident with the piece as you would a role you were performing. Work on them outside of the context of an upcoming audition. Work on them in front of people. Don't wait until the night before your audition to search for, memorize and rehearse an audition piece! Practice, practice, practice!

    Speaking Your Lines


    When auditioning for a role in a TV commercial, you read from cue cards. Cue cards are like large flash cards that have an actor’s script printed on them in big letters. If a TV performer forgets the lines, she ever-so-subtly looks at the cue cards and reads from them. The viewing audience doesn’t see cue cards because the person holding them is standing next to (not in front of) the camera.

     Keep the following script etiquette in mind when auditioning


    If you just received your copy of the script moments before your audition, do an analysis of script  or may be just lines, create the character with your imagination and try to memorize the lines
    Don’t be afraid if you have forgotten a line or two or words. Just continue without a break. The important part is to see how well you can interpret the part, not how well you can memorize a script on short notice.
    If you completely mess up your lines, it’s okay to ask if you can start from the beginning again.
    During an open casting call or casting audition, another person may read lines with you. This person could be anyone from the casting director to another actor to the man who just delivered a pizza to the casting director for lunch. Many times, the person reading with you is not a professional actor and, therefore, may not give you much to work with. Don’t let any acting inadequacies bother you; stay focused, and give your best audition.
    Luckily for you, there may be a callback. However, you may be asked to audition and read lines with an actor who already has been cast. The casting director wants to see how you look and sound next to an actor who has already been assigned a role.

    Confidence


    Enter the room with confidence. If hands are offered, shake them. Look the auditors in the eyes during introductions if there are any. Introduce yourself and let them know what piece you are doing and who the authors are. Then let them know which of the pieces you will be performing first. Remember to smile and show off your confidence.

    Minding Auditioning Manners 


    A lack of courtesy shows disrespect, no matter where you are in life. If directed toward the folks running the audition like a spoiled brat, it can kill an acting opportunity faster than you think
    Never touch the casting director or any of his or her possessions, such as the notepad, laptop computer, food, and such. Doing so is rude and definitely, works against you.
    Never smoke or chew gum during your audition. If you must smoke, do it outside where no one can see you and where your smoke won’t interfere with others.
    If you bring a small tape recorder to record and then later evaluate your performance in the comfort of your home, hide the device so that it doesn’t distract from your performance. Otherwise, the casting director may be looking at your tape recorder rather than watching you. Don’t ask for permission to tape record because it will take time and distract the casting director. Just hide it in your pocket or purse and let it run

    Making Your Exit


    After you complete your audition, thank everyone (the casting director, the camera operator eating a sandwich in the back, the receptionist who helped you check in, and anyone else who may be sitting in the room). If you read from a script, be sure to hand that script back to the casting director or his assistant. In general, you want to leave the room exactly the way it appeared when you arrived.


    Congratulate Self


    Well after exit, there is nothing more you can do. So don't think about audition you have given. Just congratulate yourself for doing a great job and celebrate. Have a coffee and go back home smiling

    Is Your Dream Is To Be An Actor?
    A Great Actor, To Be A Celebrity?
    Do You Want Name, Fame, And Money As An Actor
    Acting Secret To Be A Great Actor 



    • Whether you are an aspiring actor or a common person, your life goal is to meet your objective-Be Great and Happy
    • Everybody is acting day in and day out. But are we successful, great and happy?

    Here Is The Secret To Be A Great Actor

    Requirements to be a great actor

    Do your SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Analysis

    Know What Is Acting Really

    The fine art of performing fictional roles in plays, films, TV, commercial ads, public road shows, reality shows, anchoring modeling etcACTOR: A person who plays (portrays) a character in a performance

    What is Semiotics?

     An actor transformation into a convincing character. A person has to be unique in playing a character in “All aspects” of a character: situation, behavior, emotions, attitudes, gestures and signs. This uniqueness should be highly “creative”

    What is the process and method for an actor to transform into a convincing character, living truthfully under imaginary circumstances


    What Is The Tool (The Instrument)?


    Body and Mind

    • This instrument of everybody is set, has an “Essence”, an archetype which makes him/her unique.
    • If an actor has to perform a fictional role, a new interesting life, a character has to be created after analyzing the script to be played truthfully and convincingly.
    • However, the biggest hurdle in this sincere endeavor is his “own self”, his essence, his/her “type”. The more an actor tries and forces self to act in the best possible way, more it looks an “acting” and fake. The actor’s  “self” like his/her body language, voice, gestures, attitudes, emotions etc come in the way to transform convincing into a character which an actor has created by his/her imagination.
    • Then, how an actor can transform into an authentic character which looks real?
    • Observe self. Who are you? Note down your
    • Physical profile: height, weight, hair, face, eyes, mouth, skin, shoulder, chest, walk, gestures, voice, language, any physical abnormality, your style etc
    • Mental profile: attitude types, emotions, intelligence etc
    • Social: class (rich, middle class, poor), income, education, occupation, knowledge etc
    • After the above analysis of your own self you will realize why it’s difficult to portray a new life, a new character:
    YOUR GASS IS FULL
    YOUR PAGE IS FULL

    If pour the liquid into an already filled glass, it will spill. You can’t rewrite something new on a page already full. You have to empty the glass and make the page blank by deleting the text

    How to an actor neutralize self?

    Body and mind exercise to develop abilities to adjust your physical and mental essence (archetype) to suit a character’s profile to an extent which makes an actor living a truthful life of a character.
    In my personal opinion, though many who believe and practice Stanislavsky Acting Technique may not agree, is to bring the character in you rather than desperately trying to be a character. An actor transformation should be convincing, even to the incredible heights, that’s all.

    Analyze world’s great actors, They are legends, a history!

    Charles Chaplin, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins, Mohanlal (India), Kamal Haasan (India), Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Amitabh Bachchan (India)

    Keep in mind, they are known today and would be remembered for generations first by their manes and then by the characters they have played or awards they have won. However, these celebrities too focused on changing from “ self”- a common person, to transform and present an astonishing and highly creative performance giving a memorable character to the viewers thus lifting a film to incredible heights.

    Acting | Fixing The Confusion In Acting School Or A Coach


    Acting | Which one to join? A school or a Coach?



    I want to be an actor. Help me

    Sure, you can definitely be an actor, and a success one.
    Identify requirements to be an actor and how to meet those requirements. Get professionally trained to have an excellence in the acting craft for all types of media like film, theater, TV, Anchoring, Modeling



    Should I join an acting school or an acting coach?

    If you're a beginner, you need personal "one on one" attention and therefore a good acting coach (Preferably an actor him/herself)  would be better. The schools are good for those who have been fighting for some time, learning in a group, scene enacting and networking



    What can an acting coach do for me?

    What can you as an acting coach do for me?

    Do I Really Need An Acting Coach To Be An Actor?


    Discussion


    People often ask, ‘What can you as an acting coach do for me?’

    Professional actors are themselves the most suspicious clients that I work with. They simply don’t see how an acting coach could help them. Probably because most of their learning or coaching experiences have ended in little or no practical help.

    So what can I do as Acting Coach do to help you? What is my role?


    It’s possible to recognize 4 distinct areas in addition to from training on acting techniques, acting for the camera, auditions winning techniques, playing emotions and different attitudes, script and character analysis and how to create a character, self-development and marketing and promotion of your acting career.
    I’ve applied these 4 key areas to actor training and actor coaching and I hope it will give you a fuller picture of the roles and responsibilities of an acting coach.


    1.
    An Acting Coach will Recognise Your Potential


    The first thing an acting coach should do is the test to see if you actually have the goods. I don’t mean that you necessarily need to have talent, but that you have a potential for training to a higher level. Some people are innately gifted, it’s true, but some people show the signs of being ‘trainable’ and some people clearly are not. An Acting Coach should be truthful with you about your potential and be honest with you about your chances for progression. Even (especially) when coaching experienced actors, the acting coach should always be truthful and honest. That doesn’t mean that they should ride roughshod over your feelings. They must believe that you can learn the skills of the actor. If they do not believe this, they shouldn’t keep appeasing you and taking your money, this is just Charlatanism.
    Acting coaches have a responsibility to be honest with our students because the bond that is created is one of trust. This can’t be built on hypocrisy and bullshit.

    2.
     An Acting Coach Will Encourage You


    Once a bond of trust has been established, an acting coach should encourage you in any way that they can. Once they’ve established that you are trainable, they should point you in the direction that you want to go and give you the encouragement you need to believe in yourself and your developing skills.


    3.
     An Acting Coach will Guide (Facilitate) You Individually 


    An Acting Coach will give you the necessary practical tools that will help you to improve. These tools should relate DIRECTLY to the job of acting. None of us wants to learn to water-ski in order to tap dance. Likewise, your actor training should be job specific. You should be taught pragmatic skills that can be used immediately, or at least with practice. Their facilitation of you should be based in practice. It doesn’t matter how many books they’ve read, they need to know this stuff works for real, otherwise, they won’t facilitate you, they’ll actually disable you.

    4.
     An Acting Coach Stretch You


    A good acting coach will never stop pushing, gently, sometimes sternly, but they will always keep trying to stretch your capabilities. It’s not always pleasant, any kind of change is usually accompanied by some kind of pain, some mild and some less so. After a number of classes, you should feel that the coach is pushing you and helping you by not letting you rest on your laurels, or get comfortable, by constantly shifting the goal posts, they will continue to stretch you as you improve.
    However, they should acknowledge your achievements and encourage you to press on ever upwards towards perfection, even if you never reach it. Based on

    9 Reasons Why Acting Schools May Create A Bad Actor In You


    Pros and Cons of learning acting from a school

    I Want To Be An Actor

    Which Is The Best And Economical Acting School?
    Or An Acting Coach?


    Wait!

    Who Are You?

    "I'm unique. There is no second then “Me” in the world. I  have my own “type’ an ‘archetype”. I cherish this uniqueness of mine and I'm proud of this self of mine".

    Okay Great!

    However, remember,

    • This individuality of your's has an emotional intelligence- the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions and an intellectual capacity. This applies to learning also where an individual may learn with a group or where an individual may learn better in a focused individual environment’
    • Acting is a very fine and an emotionally creative art. Therefore, in my opinion, acting is not like learning a subject like physics, history or mathematics with a large group in a class

      

    Disadvantages Of Leaning Acting In A School


    1. To an individual, the activities may be perceived artificial. The situations are sometimes and irrelevant to the individual learner’s need.
    2. Learning exercises and activities in a large group are difficult to monitor and correct them individually.
    3. There is a fear among teachers that a large group may cause sort of uncontrolled fun among learners.
    4. It causes embarrassment and awkwardness, in some shy and introvert students in certain situations.
    5. It indirectly may encourage incorrect forms of learning like language, voice defects, body language etc. as long as the teacher has a limited class timings and is not encouraged to correct mistakes immediately. 
    6. Activities may not be suitable for all the students. The activities that succeeded with some in a group of students may fail with another group or with an individual.
    7. One of the most important aspects of learning-To learn and to practice the power of developing imagination, observation and developing creativity, need to create a character and transforming instantly into a character may not be effectively ingrained individually in a group
    8. Most of the schools don’t teach all the important acting techniques of the world like Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner, Practical Aesthetics and perhaps no one teaches one of the most relevant “Michael Chekhov Technique”
    9. Unfortunately, may be the lack of individual focus, marketing and promotion of acting as a business are not taught or stressed effectively and the result is disastrous. The actors fail in getting jobs in spite of being a good actor


    The Above 9 Drawbacks of  Acting Schools May Create A Bad Actor in you


    However, these problems could be solved if careful thought and planning are used in creating syllabus, creativity in group teaching, empathy and acting as a facilitator rather than a teacher and an instructor


    Advantages Of Learning Acting From A School



    1. It promotes confidence, trust, cooperation and group cohesion.
    2. Learning scene enacting with co-actors.
    3. Learning watching some good performance from others
    4. Listening co-actors in a scene and reacting real
    5. Developing network. A group can be a great source of industry information, auditions and creating good friends who could help an individual in career


    Conclusion



    • For beginners instead of an acting school, an acting coach who trains an actor on “one on one” basis is better
    • For working actors but not professionally trained, an acting school could be preferred

    Here Is My Acting Secret And Best Hope To Be A Star Actor 


    Whether you are an aspiring actor or a common person, your life goal is to meet your objective-Be Great and Happy
    Everybody is acting day in and day out. But are we successful, great and happy?

    How To Be A Great Celebrity Actor


    Step 1


    Whar Are The Requirements To Be A  Bollywood Actor
    SWOT Analysis: Analyze your strengths, weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to you
    How to meet requirements

    Step 2


    Do You Really Know What Is An Actor, Acting, And semiotics?

    Acting: The fine art of performing fictional roles in plays, films, TV, commercial ads, public road shows, reality shows, anchoring modeling etc
    Actor: A person who plays (portrays) a character in a performance
    Semiotics: An actor transformation into a convincing character. A person has to be unique in playing a character in “All aspects” of a character: situation, behavior, emotions, attitudes, gestures and signs. This uniqueness should be highly “creative”


    Step 3


    Why Most Of The Actors Fail To Be Goods And Successful?

    The actors perform with their acting tool or the instrument- Body, and Mind. This instrument of everybody is set, has an “Essence”, an archetype which makes him/her unique.
    If an actor has to perform a fictional role, a new interesting life, a character has to be created after analyzing the script to be played truthfully and convincingly.
    However, the biggest hurdle in this sincere endeavor is his “own self”, his essence, his/her “type”. The more an actor tries and forces self to act in the best possible way, more it looks an “acting” and fake. The actor’s  “self” like his/her body language, voice, gestures, attitudes, emotions etc come in the way to transform convincing into a character which an actor has created by his/her imagination.
    Then, how an actor can transform into an authentic character which looks real?


    Step 4


    How An Actor Can Neutralize And Free Him\Herself To Portray A New Life?

    Developing Acting Instrument (Body and Mind)


    Step 5


    Observe self. Who are you? Note down your
    Your Physical profile: height, weight, hair, face, eyes, mouth, skin, shoulder, chest, walk, gestures, voice, language, any physical abnormality, your style etc
    Your Mental profile: attitude types, emotions, intelligence etc
    Your Social Status: class (rich, middle class, poor), income, education, occupation, knowledge etc

    Author's Note:
    My personal opinion is,  though many who believe and practice Stanislavsky Acting Technique may not agree is to bring the character in you rather than desperately trying to be a character. An actor transformation should be convincing, even to the incredible heights, that’s all.
    And this conviction of mine is based on observing and analyzing world’s great actors, They are legends, a history-
    Charles Chaplin, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins, Mohanlal (India), Kamal Haasan (India), Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Amitabh Bachchan (India)
    Keep in mind, they are known today and would be remembered for generations first by their names and then by the characters they have played or awards they have won. However, these celebrities too focused on changing from “ self”- a common person, to transform and present an astonishing and highly creative performance giving a memorable character to the viewers thus lifting a film to incredible heights.

    Step 6


    Simple home exercises to practice daily

    Remember, physical and mental tension, fear and doubtful about self, people (strangers), situations and future is no1 enemy to a person’s success and happiness

    Develop the power of listening

    In our hectic and stressful life, we unconsciously don’t listen attentively. The result is our inappropriate reaction and responses which may not be appreciated by one who is talking to you. In life, we react and behave with what we experience, by our 5 senses on what we hear, see, smell, touch, and taste. The key is we must carefully notice these experiences to create convincing, truthful and real responses to meet our objectives
    The best way is to recollect and practice those real scenes of what we heard or experienced with our 5 senses
