✔ 最佳答案
First you realize that you can't just sign up for an agency. Legitimate agents are paid a percentage of what an actor makes. Never pay an agent up front. So, no exactly sure what you signed up for.
For an acting career, you need the following:
1. Get realistic. Give up the fantasy that actors are "discovered". It's a business, not a lottery. Your chances of success depend on your talent, training, experience, marketability and understanding of the business end of the industry. Companies are not looking for people off the street who want to be in a movie. They invest a lot of time, effort and money in their projects and they trust that investment to trained and experienced professional actors. Mainstream movies and TV shows don't have open auditions that anyone can go to - roles are cast through agents and are generally cast union actors. And there are a lot of scams out there. Understand that there's no one way to be an actor. No one is going to tell you what to do every step of the way. It'll be up to you to take responsibility for your career.
2. Get quality training from well respected instructors. Not only does it improve your skills but it's one way to start to network and make connections in the industry. Where you study and who you study with matters. It can help open doors - but is no guarantee. So research your options. In the US you don't have to have a degree - but it's helpful. Good actors continue to get training throughout their careers.
3. Get experience. Audition for what you can - community theater Is a good place to start. You can try contacting local film schools and ask how the find actors for student films and check those sources. Websites like backstage, actors access, casting networks list low-to-pay jobs in things like student or independent films. They also list extra work (which is NOT acting experience). Competition is stiff for this experience - there are a lot of people who want to be actors. You would need to invest in things like a professional head shot (which can cost hundreds of dollars) and you need an acting resume listing your training, experience and special skills. Be careful of "open auditions" often they're just bait to get wannabe actors in and try to sell them something. Usually you first send in your head shot and resume and then if they are intersted, they contact you to audition.
4. Learn the business end of things. You need to understand things like the casting process (casting directors, agents, breakdowns, etc); legal requirements (contracts, unions, taxes, etc); effective marketing strategies (head shots, resumes, show reel, website, social media, etc); networking. Attempting an acting career is like running a company and you are the product to be marketed and sold. Read industry websites like backstage.com and books about the business end of acting.
5. Plan. Not only do many actors not make it big - most professional actors don't support themselves by acting a lone. That means you need to plan how you're going to support yourself and how you're going to approach your career. Like I said, there's no one way to be an actor.
Good luck
