To become an actor, you should gain acting training through classes or a drama program, build a portfolio with headshots and a resume, and gain experience through auditions, community theater, or student films. Networking and attending casting calls are also essential steps in securing acting roles.

What jobs can I do as an actor?

Actors can work in film, television, theater, commercials, voice-over work, and digital media.

Many actors pursue freelance or contract work, and some specialize in specific genres or mediums.
