KEY POINTS
Tips for someone considering becoming an actor:
- Ask yourself “Do I have the disease?” – the absolute passion to perform?
“I can’t NOT perform.” - Experience – Say “YES” to all opportunities. Get exposure.
- Create – Don’t wait for someone else to say they “need” you. Get people to say “we hear you, we want you”.
