To become a famous actress you will need to work very hard and not only hope for your big break, but rather make your luck better with hard work and perseverance. Many people are jealous of the famous and accuse them of getting famous over night, but that is rarely the case. Becoming a famous actor or actress takes times and a lot of work.
Don't make your goal to get famous. Be an actress because you love it first. If you follow your passion, success will come in the form it is supposed to.
- Surround yourself in the type of environment you want to become famous in. Move to New York to start in Broadway, Los Angeles/Hollywood for movies, Chicago for improv. You may think your local theater is getting you ahead, but the chances are much higher of being seen in a city.
- Take classes in the art you want to become famous in. Just getting on stage in front of peers and critiquing yours and others flaws will help you so much and prepare you that much more for your first audition. There are many improv, acting workshops, acting schools, and acting classes out there. Search for the highest recommended and take the specific ones you are interested in. Don't get caught up in taking classes as you aren't going to get famous paying for classes.
- Don't be to good for any gig to start. Apply for all the acting auditions you can. Audition for commercials, movie extras, small sketch groups; it is at these venues that you may just meet the person that knows somebody that could get you an audition. Look under the additional resources below for the links to jobs. Along with taking these various acting jobs, you will only be building your entertainment resume and networking with people you may work with again someday (so always be friendly!!!)
- Find an acting agent. After awhile you will grow tired of finding your own acting jobs. You can go to many talent agencies and audition for an agent. Once you have an agent you will increase your high profile acting work and your pay.
