What Professional Services Actors Really Need

At some point, every #artist makes the jump to take their art to the next level. Painters invest in high-quality paint. #Videographers buy #cameras. And for #actors, this means taking up #acting classes and professional services.

Any working #performance artist will tell you that when seriously considering your field, you will need to take the time to really study your craft. For actors, this can mean a variety of things. In essence, you will need to make the investment into at least a few of the following:

1. Self-tape auditions

In the recent past, #casting #companies have started asking actors to submit self-tape auditions. This is exactly what it sounds like – submitting a tape of an audition taken by the actor by his or herself. Sometimes, actors are simply not available to be present at every audition. And sometimes, casting agencies might do an open #virtual call for actor submissions. What they don’t realize is that not every actor is #tech-savvy, and that despite #talent, a low-quality will affect the way the actor is perceived.

Self-taping can also better prepare an #actor for face-to-face auditions.

2. Demo reel editing

A crisp #demo #reel is another professional services (and a must) for most actors. Having sharp, precise cuts from multiple #shoots not only adds #dimension to the actor’s #characters, but shows off his or her versatility. A well-edited demo reel is crucial when being considered for a role.

3. Private coaching

Another great way for actors to invest into their career is to consider taking #private #coaching. #Toronto is a hotspot for #Canadian talent, and there are a multitude of #private acting #studios available across the city. Actors receive a greater attention to their craft when taking up private #lessons.

4. Acting classes

Open acting classes are also widely available (and might be a little cheaper, too). Often, these classes are quite full. Though you may not get the individual attention you need, these open classes tend to be much more economical for the up-and-coming working actor.

5. Workshops

Lastly, many might view acting #workshops as a proven way to hone your #skills. By receiving direction from acting #coaches, #industry #professionals, talent #scouts and casting #agents, workshops are an incredible to ease yourself into a fast-paced industry and receive invaluable #support.
