Acting Goals And Ambitions For The New Year
With New Year on its way I thought we’d look at acting goals. Having acting goals is important in fulfilling your acting dreams. If you don’t have goals then you won’t have anything to work towards and fulfill. Below I have summarised some of the acting goals you could include in your list and work towards:
- Develop good monologues for auditions. Try to develop a mixture of comedy, tragic and classic.
- Check audition sites and papers
- Attend auditions regularly they will give you experience as well as a possible job
- Send photographs and portfolio packs to agents
- Search for new agents regularly and keep applying to them
- Look out for open casting invitations and attend them
- Start acting classes or an acting course
- Read as much as you can about acting and acting skills
- Learn important skills needed for theatre and television work
- Attend training days and open work shops to give you experience
- Network with friends that you meet at auditions and speak to people about your ambitions
- Get an acting coach (if you can afford it)
- Assess and monitor your attitude
- Keep your body, mind and soul fit
- Learn time management
- Attend interviews, auditions and open castings on time
- Get appropriate education
- Work out a realistic budget for education, marketing, dues and ordinary business expenses
- Get other work that you can fall back on should you not make it with your acting dream
- Work out a 25 year plan that you break down into 5 year, 1 year, 6 month, monthly, weekly and daily plans
- Make sure you work towards your acting career on a daily basis
- Decide what you really want to achieve in your career
- Break down long term goals into shorter goals
