Acting
If you have ever sat in a movie theater and thought to yourself, “I could do that,” now is your chance to put that idea to the test. Actors interpret the writer’s script and bring the emotion and action to the big screen in film, television and theater.
Acting classes are just the thing to get you started. Instructors will give you instruction in speech, movement, drama, screen writing and other areas. They will push you and help you improve your skills all the way to that first big break. Salaries among actors have the most variation from person to person than any other industry and will depend upon your skill, how many jobs you take and how big the roles are.
Many actors make a living doing voice over, commercials or corporate work. No matter what roles you will be playing professional training will make you better for the part. Meryl Streep studied acting for 7 years before she ever set foot in an audition! Start preparing for your next big role today!
If you have a great voice, consider a musical theater program. Actors with musical capabilities are more versatile and allow them to be considered in exciting roles that incorporate musical theater and acting, such as Chicago, Fame, and Mamma Mia. With success stories of award-winning writers turned actors, you may enjoy a writing program as well.
