You may well read stories in actors autobiographies; about how they were “walking along the road with the streets paved with gold: when a director or producer, ran up to them, offering them the lead role in the latest movie”. In the real world this just does not happen! If you want to be an actor, you’ll have to work for it! Drama School is probably the best option for any aspiring actor. They will take on actors at any age. The course can last, on average, two to three years. You can get a list of drama schools here. You can also get an accredited list of the best drama schools from the actor’s union ‘Equity’. You will be expected to audition for a place in drama school. This normally consists of audition speeches ‘Modern’ and ‘Classical’. As an actor it’s always useful to have audition speech up your sleeve whenever you go for a casting, you never know when you might be asked for one. There are specific books you can buy. They contain both current and classical speeches from plays. It may also be useful to get some voice or drama training on a one to one basis before going for that Drama School audition. They can help you with your speeches that you wish to use. Drama School are always oversubscribed so you really do need to make the best effort. The skills you can learn at drama school are invaluable; it will give you the core skills for your career. The friends you make.
