ALT-2 Acting how to Start your Career
Sincerely observing a "lack" in the movie industry, and having an unfeignedly passion to fill that vacuum is the best reason to start an acting career. Such a pure desire will go ahead of you, ensuring you get everything you need for success.
Your career is the occupation for which you have been trained for. It has different levels of growth and progress, which means starting a career implies you have consciously chosen something you may do for most part of your life.
How do you start an acting career?
PASSION / INTEREST
You need passion to be successful in what you do. It is only pure passion that keeps us in a career, even when results and money are not forthcoming as thought. This is why it is important to have a passion for what you do.
Passion can be developed, but first you need to have an interest. You should have seen something in the acting community that interests you, something lacking that you know you can supply, or a knowledge, orientation, and mindset you think you can give the world through acting. This is what gives you the determination to hit the limelight no matter what, and then passion is effortlessly born to see you through.
PRACTICE
Your first audition shouldn't be your first time of trying to showcase your skills. You should have been practicing and acting before. You may have to join the theatre groups in your school, church, etc. to build up your acting skill and confidence.
Everybody can act, but not everybody practices all the time, and this is what makes the difference. Start building up your skills and confidence before judgment day, when you may have to stand publicly before experienced directors to convince them of your abilities.
Taking an acting course in one of the colleges is also a wise decision to do. You may get to know about some deep things in acting while in college.
TRAIN FOR MANY ROLES BUT MASTER SOME
We can play many roles, but we might not be the best in all of them. An actor may not be able to play the role of an actress.

You can get movies of the best actors of those roles, watch them regularly, and improve your abilities. You should be able to do better than them.
PROMOTE YOURSELF
Everyone acquainted with you must know you act. Also, be ready to dare great auditions irrespective of the actors competing with you. Your uniqueness will make the difference.
Also, associate with those in the acting business. Make friends with lots of them with every opportunity that comes your way.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF & BE FOCUSED
