Aspiring Actors often ask the question “How can I get discovered?” The answer is simple and logical, but on the other hand being discovered as an actor it is far from easy to make happen. At the same time, however, lets not mislead anyone. Being discovered out of the blue without any preparation or without having done any work is about as likely as winning the multi million dollar lottery. Some people play all their lives and never win! One way that many actors get discovered is… Are you ready? They POSITION themselves to be discovered! That’s right. Read on to see how.   By POSITIONING yourself to be discovered I mean:   1. Start training and don’t stop no matter how good you think you are or how good others tell you are, so that when you do put yourself up in front of the right peopl wah pedals e, you will be ready! 2. Study the industry. Find out how it works. Find out who casts what, what agents look for in an actor, what the unions do, what the current issues are in the industry, etc. 3. Figure out what your type is. This is a concept you need to be familiar with! It will help you funnel you marketing efforts. 4. Learn basic business, networking and self-promotional skills. So important! You need to make sure you stand out from everyone else. You need to be delicately tenacious as well! 5. Learn how to audition. Auditioning and acting on set are two different beasts. Auditioning is like the serve in tennis. Its completely different from the rest of the game. 6. Surround yourself with people who are already doing what you want and not with people who are trying to get what you want.
