My apologies for the delay in posting as I've been a bit busy lately setting up a new website for actors, directors, film makers and writers to connect and develop their skills. But more on that to follow in futre posts. For now I want to mention briefly a great way to get started in acting.....being an extra.
Now some may believe that being an extra is not really acting. I am here to say that is not true. Anytime you are on screen or on stage in a performance, you are acting. More importantly though, being an extra on set, can potentially provide you with some major steps forward in your acting career. Some of those include:
- Ability to network with other actors and crew to possibly find other work.
- Possibility to be noticed by a director or producer who may be interested in seeing you audition for thier next project.
- The possibility to be given a line or two in the production.
- A credit for your resume.
Many successful actors started their careers as extras. An excellent online resource for possibly obtaining extra work is Moviex.
They are also an excellent resource for many other actor related services.
If you are not in the USA, then find out from other actors,a cting teachers, and your acting network where you can start getting involved in being an on set extra.
Good luck with getting involved as an extra and remember...
Action = Success!
