Steps to be a Movie Star

What a life, a life in the movies! Movie stars are viewed as role models who have easy jobs. But, is it easy? Most of us don't even know how to be ourselves much less someone else. To be able to make a character real on the big screen takes tremedous effort. Body language, remembering lines, working long stressful hours and yet the rewards are equally great. What does it take to be a Movie Star? Do you have what it takes to make it to Hollywood?

Character

What is the most important factor in being an actor?

Energy for realPersonality, all actors have unique personalities. Especially the ones that are not attractive. How many actors rely on their charm abilities when they are not good looking. The good looking actors have charm. The big ones have character. If all actors did not have character they would not be in the acting business. It doesn't mean that you have good character. Some of the most memorable actors are the villain in the movie. You do not have to be liked to be a great actor.

Desire

Do you Really want to be an actor?

Energy for realHow badly do you want it? Would you be willing to become homeless to be an actor? Would you go on a crash diet to be on the big screen? What jobs would you take that you absolutely hate to be an actor? Would you tell people how much you like them when you really can't stand them just to get your foot in the door? Are you willing to hitchhike across the nation to get noticed?
What ever you do; do not lower your standards! Maintain your integrity! Everything you do must be aligned with who you are!

Faith

Do you believe you have what it takes to be an actor?

Energy for realHow do you build Faith? What does it take to be an actor? Hard work; dedication, focus, no doubts. Faith in believing you can succeed is having a powerful desire to be successful at acting! Build Faith daily, tell yourself everyday you have what it takes to be an actor. Build Faith every hour, every hour tell yourself you work hard to be an actor. Build Faith every minute, every minute tell yourself you will not stop. Learn everything you can to be an actor; read books, watch videos, talk to actors, talk to directors, talk to anyone that will give you positive assistance in the right direction.

Command your Brain

Control your thoughts

There are Negative thoughts and Positive thoughts. Which thoughts are getting you closer to your dream of being an actor? Take note of the thoughts you are getting, are they motivating, making you feel better about you? Are they telling you that you cannot do it? Do not allow Negative thoughts or Negative people to slow you down. When you hear words that tell you that you cannot do it, turn them around to mean that you can do it. Use Negative statements and actions to challenge you more to be who you want to be and follow your dream.

Decide

Make the choice

Do some research; ask yourself difficult questions, envision the road to being an actor, see the steps in your mind on the way to your dream. Is your dream possible? When you make the decision to be an actor, go all the way, do not take "no" for an answer. Use everything that comes your way as a tool to get you closer to your dream. Find reasons why adversity is working for you.

Focus

Are you focused on your "Dream"

Energy for realStudy acting, plan your route to success, get the help of others, put your plans on paper, put your plans on video, put your plans in the heads of your friends and family, talk about your plans, build your plans.
Focus on your dream, focus on your dream, focus on your dream, repetition has great power, focus on your dream...
