Acting Is A Business - THE SECRET TO A SUCCESSFUL ACTING CAREER
Acting Is A Business!!!
Understanding what industry professionals want is the heart of having a successful acting career. All the major failures in the history of the business of acting can be traced to lack of knowledge about industry professionals needs and wants. If you don't know the needs and wants of agents, casting directors, managers and producers how can you possibly satisfy them?
What benefits do you posses that will sell you as an actor? When you go into an agents or casting directors office and they ask you "Ok What Can You Do?" you must unleash the benefits you have that will help them grow their business and yours as well. I will say it over and over again ACTING IS A BUSINESS! In a recent interview a casting director was asked which of these two actors would he choose today if he would have the opportunity to cast the movie "Rebel Without A Cause." Would it be Marlon Brando or James Dean? After watching a small clip of both actors the casting director started to pour the benefits of why he would still even to this day choose Marlon Brando over James Dean.
Agents and casting directors must always look at an individuals benefits because that's how they sell talent to their clients. These are the problems and challenges that industry professionals always meet. The actors could be both very talented and extremely good looking but one's benefits are more marketable than the other. Industry professionals are always looking for talent but most importantly they are looking for the next big star that can make big money at the box office. This is a money making business. It's show business! Your job is to find out what's important to them; then exceed their expectations. Remember that in show business an industry professional's problem represents a golden opportunity - an agent or casting directors' need or want you hope to satisfy.
