What to do if you do not have a theatrical education, but really want to act in films? First of all, there is a chance to get into the movies if you act in extras. But this method has two big drawbacks. First, they pay very little for their role in the crowd scene. Secondly, you need to try very hard to be noticed by the director among many other people. Therefore, you can immediately start by trying to get some kind of movie role. The first thing to do for this is a portfolio.
It is necessary
- - bright acting skills and (or) the necessary external data;
- - portfolio
Instructions
Step 1
For a portfolio, it is enough to take four photos, preferably with a professional photographer. If this is not possible, then you can take amateur photos, but always against the background of a plain light canvas or wall. Photos must be: - full-length; - a portrait with a serious expression; - a portrait where you smile; - a profile. These few photos will become your calling card on your way to the world of cinema.
Step 2
In order for casting managers and directors to know about your desire to act in films, you need to contact the production studios. To do this, print your photos in several copies, and on the back of each of them indicate your data and coordinates: last name and first name, age, height, weight, size of clothes and shoes, as well as a phone number for communication.
Step 3
With these photos, you can contact the production centers - https://www.proficinema.ru/database/studies/list.php?ID=146 or the film company - https://www.kino-teatr.ru/links/company /.
Step 4
At the reception, immediately tell them that you would like to leave your photos for the studio's acting base. You will be directed to the person who is in charge of casting. Then your data will be entered into the database. In the building of the production studio, do not forget to pay attention to the notice board, as there may be a notice about the casting, indicating the date and location of the selection.
Step 5
After that, you can consider that the main thing is done. Now you need to be patient and wait until you are invited to audition. This can happen if the director is interested in your appearance and type and he decides that you can fit the role of a certain character.
Step 6
If you do not have enough time or courage to go to all film studios, then you can contact any serious professional agency for the selection of actors for customers (production studios). For example, a customer needs a petite brunette with a striking appearance with brown eyes. The acting agency, which has at its disposal an impressive base of candidates for the role of an actor, will select from them the most suitable in all parameters of this type and will invite applicants for casting.
Step 7
However, the services of acting agencies are paid. For a certain amount, you will be invited to various castings, where you could fit according to your type, throughout the year. If you are approved for the role, then you will need to give the agency 10-20 percent of your royalties. Addresses and telephones of acting agencies -
