If you’ve always wanted to be an extra in a movie, perhaps you are wondering how to go about it? Maybe you have even taken some acting classes to prepare yourself for a TV role, or perhaps you have attended multiple auditions over the years but still had no success in getting into a movie? Here are some tips to help you push past that barrier and make your dream of being in a movie come true.
The first key to success is always being professional. Know what you are doing, and if you don’t know – learn. If you’ve never taken any acting classes, sign up now. Read some books. Talk to people. Let someone mentor you. Learn everything you can about the field of acting.
The next key is to be willing to take any role. Maybe you’ve always wanted to be a pretty girl in a pub that a main character fancies? But you might be more suited to the role of the main character’s child’s school teacher. Don’t be too choosey and you will have more opportunities, and more chances to get your foot in the door.
Finally, attend as many TV casting calls as you can. Find them online, in newspapers or magazines, on the radio, or try a company like Audition Now and receive expert information about local auditions via text message. (For those 18 years old and older – you can receive up to three text messages per day, at £1.50 per text.)
Remember – never give up. Who knows what’s right around the corner?
