So you want to be an Actor? Here are some basic steps to take to become a Professional Actor. With a little hard work and determination, you can turn a hobby into a profession.

Classes

Start out by looking for an Acting Technique class. Even if you think you have natural talent, there is still something to be learned and it's necessary for your resume. Every teacher has their own style, so compare classes and find one that's right for you. Next, find a Scene Study class. You will learn about working with other people, auditioning and creating a character. You will also learn more about what your "type" is. Your personality will help you define your "type" and what role you would be most cast in. Whether you are a leading man type or character type, this will help you find roles to audition for.

Audition Preparation

It's a good idea to have a monologue ready, especially for theater auditions. If you are auditioning strictly for film and TV, you won't need one very often, but you never know when an agent will want to see one. Have one comedic and one dramatic monologue memorized and practiced. Cold Reading is another audition skill to work on. There are classes on this technique, but you can also improve your cold reading skills by practicing and auditioning more often.

Headshots

A good headshot is your calling card. You will need one for every audition. Shop around a few headshot photographers to see different styles. Have a dramatic shot and one with a great smile. And try a few different outfits, such as casual, business-casual and professional. Have quality reproductions done at a professional photo studio.

Experience

Once you have pictures and a couple classes down on your resume, you will want to get some experience to add to your resume and also to create a demo reel of your work. Craigslist is great for student film auditions and indie films that won't pay much, but necessary for building experience and a network of contacts in the business. Add each finished project to your resume. Make sure to get a finished copy of your work on CD or DVD in order to create your demo reel. This is helpful in finding an agent and also for getting more work. Online casting websites are used by all the major Casting Directors. Get an account with one or all of these main casting websites - Actors Access, Nowcasting and Casting Networks.

Marketing

Treat the Entertainment Business like any other business. Marketing is very important to an Actor. You are your own Marketing, Sales and Public Relations Department. In addition to submitting for auditions, you must send out regular mailings of your headshot with updates on your career. Keep the Casting Directors and Agents interested and they will call you into their office.

Do your research! Just like any career, training and education is important. There are many great how-to books for the Acting Business at any level. In addition to talent and skill, a long acting career requires patience, determination and faith. Enjoy the journey and stay positive!

Painting Tips: Priming

One of the most important rules of thumb in painting is, “always prime raw wood.”  This is especially true for the exterior of your house.  Primer penetrates the surface of the wood, both sealing the wood and providing an anchor upon which the finish paint will adhere.  Without the anchoring effect of the primer, the finish coat will fail.  It may take a few months, or even a few years, but eventually the wood will be exposed and unprotected.  Weather and the elements will invariably damage untreated, exposed wood.  Conversely, when the finish coat painted over the top of primed wood deteriorates, it powders and flakes; the primed wood that is exposed remains protected.  Moreover, the durability of the finish coat greatly increases with the application of primer coat, as it blocks the interaction of wood borne and waterborne chemicals, such as tannin, calcium and salts, due to exposure to the elements. 

Interior priming can also be valuable.  Raw wood, such as trim and cabinets, also benefits from priming due to the anchoring effect.  Raw drywall and fresh drywall texture also need priming.  If you do not prime new drywall/texture, you will not produce the build or luster desired of paints with any kind of sheen.  Flat paints will also suffer, due to the lack of hide that primers provide.  As a rule, if what you are painting has never been painted, then you should prime it before painting it.

For exteriors, you may need to buy a stain blocking primer, depending on the condition of the wood.  In addition, it is recommended that you prime any composite siding, such as Hardie Plank.  For interiors, most products will work fine, unless you have water damage/stains, in which case you will need a stain blocking primer.

For small areas you can use a brush and or roller to apply the primer. For larger areas, you can use a brush and roller or you can use a Paint Spray Rig. If you choose to use the paint spray rig wait until you are prepped to start spraying, then spray prime the needed areas before you paint them.  Note:  Brushes leave brush marks and rollers leave orange peel.  If your desire is to produce the smoothest finish possible, you may want to spray both the primer and finish.

I hope this tip was useful and helps you produce a beautiful and professional finish on your home. Remember, a fresh coat of paint on the exterior of your home adds a great deal to the curb appeal and value of your home.
