Know your lines!
I do not know a lot about acting as this is not my sweet spot. But what I do know about acting is that in order to get the LEAD role there is a great deal of prep work that will need to be done. A great number of actors and actress prepare themselves physically and emotionally when they have been given an opportunity to appear in a production.
Their process of landing a lead role is a great metaphor for achieving SUCCESS in any industry. Which leads me to my first principle in this blog posting and that is:
Principle #1 Get educated
Educating yourself about your industry is very important to your success. Likewise actresses study at the most prestigious schools so that may set a foundation for their acting careers.
Principle #2 Get mentored
Actors also understand the importance of wise counsel. They employ mentors who can hold them accountable in their industry and help further develop what has been learned in school so they employ acting coaches. They strategically desire to put action to the theory they have ingested in the classroom.
Principle #3 Textbook is not enough
They also understand that they will need some hands-on experience. So, in the midst of the process actors gain even more experience in their industry by getting hired as extras. They also know that movie producers are always look for talented individuals to play minute roles to support their big film projects. This type of experience could lead to other acting opportunities down the road. Serving the lower levels prepare you for the higher levels.
Principle #4 Know your stuff
When actresses do gain a role they then have to spend a lot of time learning their lines. The ability to memorize scenes and then act them out in the characters they are portraying is important as it affects the productions bottom line. You have to know the language, the model and makeup of your industry.
All of these principles are building blocks for success in any industry. In order to see real success there is a consistency in both study and work that must be applied. If you are aspiring for a leading role, or to become an expert in your feel you have to develop a discipline that encompasses the above principles. I challenge you as you seek to be the best that you would show your passion by your diligence to strive for excellence.
