Film making

If you want to be famous, or become a successful artist, you can shoot for Broadway, or be in a band and be discovered, or become a solo artist who sings and dances. You can be any of these, as long as you have the skills and the talent, plus the right amount of guts. But, bear in mind that you can’t become famous in just one day. It takes time, even for the big stars like Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Bono, and Justin Bieber. All of them underwent intense training. Maybe you could improve by just practicing alone at home, but chances are, you will come out short.

One thing that the above-mentioned performers have in common is extensive and intensive training. Although they were discovered and became sensations, they still had to undergo rigorous training to improve their skills and talents. Stardom could come your way too. Maybe you could improve just by practicing alone at home, but chances are, your self-training may fall short. This is when it’s time to do your homework and look into local talent agencies; they need to be honest and licensed in order to help you find the right jobs for your particular talents.

Ask for referrals, if you think your current teacher doesn’t fit the bill. Assess your mentors and see if they can provide you guidance on your journey to stardom. In workshops and talent agencies, you would still need to audition. So you have to be prepared, even just at home, with your parents, or anyone who can support you. Finding an honest, licensed talent agency is a good first step in finding success; they can help you make the right decisions.

It would be towards your advantage if you look for references and credentials when shopping for a mentor. You can also ask around and contact the people within your industry so that they can give you the best possible referral.

For dancing you need to know more about the kind of music you want to dance to. Your selection will greatly depend on your interests, capability and flexibility. Some people choose ballet, some choose jazz. One good thing to remember though, that on your audition day, just dance to the music and not think about it, instead, feel it.

If you plan to dance on your audition, you have to decide on the type of dance that you would be very comfortable with. Knowing the song by heart is vital, so that you can dance to the beat and really feel the rhythm. For singing, you need two music pieces; one slow and another with a faster tempo. If you are going to act your way to stardom, you’ll need a monologue for the auditions. Make sure that you memorized everything so that you do not get lost in the middle of the auditions.

Assuming you are now ready for an audition, be confident but be polite at the same time. Be nice to the other people auditioning with you, as they could be your friends for future work. Greet the judges when presenting your resume, be polite. By presenting your pieces to the pianist do the same. It helps a lot, everybody wants a humble artist. Be humble, it will take you a long way.

Resumes are also needed in auditions, and will be your initial piece of advertisement. It is best if you showcase your portfolio, your accomplishments and your experiences in the resume. Make sure that your photos are clear and were taken by professionals. This way, the judges will be impressed with the care that you put into the resume.
