Many of you have done background work in the burgeoning ABQ film market.
You might have had a spark while being on set. Watching the hundreds of people it takes just to film a couple pages of dialogue.
Did you look at the main actors and think to yourself - “I could do that”?
You know what? You are right.
Albuquerque, New Mexico has been named one of the best places to start an acting career.
But desire and passion will only get you so far.
So what can you do to make your dream of becoming a principal actor a reality?
The One Thing All Agents and Casting Directors are Looking for
You. Exactly as you are right now.
I know we have those mean little thoughts saying... "Well, when I am a size...???"..."When my hair looks different"... "When I feel ready." (Which is a magical time that doesn't really exist!)
The truth is, they are looking for every type. Right now.
BUT - The one thing that all agents and casting directors are looking for in an actor is this:
Training.
That one ingredient will show that you are serious.
The good news? It doesn’t require years of toil and studying. But you do need to know the fundamentals before taking that leap.
Studying acting will allow you to access every part of yourself. It is an amazing way to access your emotions and express them. There is no one on the planet like you.
Make your Dream of being an ACTOR a Reality
Seeing all of the actors you admire over the years doing what you would love to do...
Perhaps this is the moment that has been whispering to you- ...do it.
Acting is not only getting in touch with your creative soul, it is expressing emotions that sometimes have been deeply buried. The crazy thing is, it isn’t as scary as it sounds. Quite the opposite. The journey is incredibly liberating. Being surrounded by like minded humans who all long to try something they have never done. The little 5 year old in you wants to come out to play.
There is no such time as the PERFECT time. Regardless of age, ethnicity, size or gender. The acting world needs you just as you are right now.
Be bold. Wherever you choose to go - here with me at Actors Space ABQ, or elsewhere - take an acting class. And see what happens.
As I say- a creative risk is never a mistake.
