Film making

If you want to be famous, or a successful artist, you can go 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 cant become famous in just one day. It takes time, even for the big stars like Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Bono, and Lea Salonga. 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 abovementioned 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.

Ask for referrals, if you think your current teacher doesn’t fit the bill. Assess your mentors and see if they can actually provide you guidance on your journey to stardom. In workshops and talent centers, 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.

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, youll 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.

When handing your song piece to the pianist do the same. It helps a lot, everybody wants a humble artist. Being humble will actually take you to a long way. After performing, thank the judges.

After the audition, thank the judges. Once the audition is complete, do not just sit and wait for the phone call, you’ll never know where you’re meant to be sometimes. Resumes are also important for auditions, search the internet on how to make a good resume. There are a lot of sites that you could get information from. For your photos, get a good photographer. It wont cost you much either, itll all be worth it.
