How can I become an actor? I have scored 73.2% in 12th (commerce) and I also want to pursue my B.Com.

Hi Gajendra, You are a model, a good looking person, an acting passionate person and you have that urge to become an actor then this is the perfect post for you to read. This post as I believe will give you a way to start an acting career and will help you make your dream come true. First thing first, come to Mumbai. Mumbai is the only place where your acting career can be launched. Most of the production houses are in Mumbai. Mainly auditions are held in Mumbai, most of them in Andheri west area of Mumbai.Get a place at Andheri west, there are many paying guest available.These paying guest are available in twin or triple sharing basis which costs around 5k to 10k per month. Secondly, you need a to get a portfolio done.Portfolio is the most important as through your photos only you will get shortlisted for any characters. Now you will send this portfolio to various email ids of casting directors, producers, directors, production houses etc. If they have a character with which your look suits they will call you for an audition. These photos are extremely important and thus you need to get a portfolio done from a good photographer. Good portfolio doesn't mean a costly portfolio, a good decent portfolio which you need will cost around 15k to 25k depending upon the photographer. Third is giving Auditions. Now they are two types of auditions, first are open auditions where they will give the age group and if you fit in that age group you are allowed to give audition. second are shortlisted auditions where you will be called after they have seen your photos which you would have mailed them. In open auditions there are less chances of selection than in shortlisted ones. But you shouldn't skip any audition as audition not only gives you chance to act in serials,advertisements or movies but also teaches you acting. You don't need to join any acting course, give auditions seriously you will know what acting is and what is required to get selected. Fourth is working on your physique. A good physique is not required but gives you an additional chance of getting selected also nowadays its a trend in the industry so you will have to go according to industry standards.Join a good gym, have a proper diet, by the time you will start working in the industry, you will have a perfect physique which will help you to build your career. Give a few auditions and you are almost there. All the best.
