Talent and Experience Helps In Your Acting Career

By Bobbie McKee

Hundreds or even thousands of people audition just to play a part in a movie or show. One good example is American Idol that went across the country just to choose 24 finalists that will begin their season's show. Talent and experience played a part for those who made it and this is the same for those who decide to pursue an acting career.

Everyone knows that your big break in the entertainment industry begins with the audition. There are many held in different parts of the country and if you are a beginner with no training, you won't do that well and chances are, you will just make a big fool of yourself.

Just think, how many times did you laugh when someone who tried to be the next American Idol wore a hideous costume or sang out of tune? It may not be funny if you were the one in front of the camera but then again, that is what happens when you go in unprepared.

This is why people who want to become aspiring actors and actresses must enroll in acting classes. They also get themselves involve in school plays or small productions because the experience they get here will be very useful when they decide to break out and let the world know who they are.

After attending a few classes and workshops, this is the time you need to take a few headshots and prepare your portfolio. When you go to an audition, this is what the casting director will be looking at as well as judging your performance.

If you don't get the part, try to find work as an extra as this will give you a better understanding of how shows and movies are made. You may even get the chance to talk to the actors and actresses present so they can give you a few tips and pointers which you can use.

When you are ready, find out when there is an audition or casting call taking place. You can also get this through the web. Some of these charge people a fee just to look at the listings so before you pay a dime, find out if this site is really worth value for your money.

Part of being an actor is joining the union. This depends of course on which media you are specializing in so you could sign up with the Screen Actor's Guild or the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

Being a member will help you land a job whenever there is an opening and make sure you are paid correctly for the skills that you have provided.

Talent alone will not always guarantee that you get the part when you go for an audition. This is because most casting directors also look at your work experience.

If you want to a successful acting career, don't jump in with your head first and expect to be a star overnight. You have to be patient just like an infant learning to walk for the first time. Be open minded and be willing to learn because being successful in this craft never ends.

You may not get this from reading books but by playing different roles and talking to those in the business. - 15790

Maverick Money Makers - Less Maverick - More Money Making

By Dirk Andersen

I decided to join Maverick Money Makers on 13th February 2009. Today is 23rd February 2009. I wanted to write a few articles on it but to do that I actually had to sign up. I really don't know how anyone can write reviews about something without getting involved.

Maverick Money Makers is a curious name for "The Club" because I looked up the word maverick and it says that it means someone who doesn't conform. A dissenter who resists groups. An independent person.

So why would a maverick join a club for money making? It's a bit of a contradiction in that respect. Maybe the members are maverick because we are trying to break away from the normality of a boring nine to five job, saying that there ARE alternatives to what we are taught at school and college.

There is a feeling that we want to go our own way in life and that there is more to life than following the millions that are "brainwashed" into thinking that there is only one way to make money, and that is to work for it for somebody else. A truly honourable thing to do. The correct thing to do.

Well that's up to them. Mavericks? I don't think so.

I have been making money online since September 2007. It is not as simple as the gurus who sell you money making products want you to believe. It is a constant learning curve and many mistakes have been made. Gurus never tell you the full story. Well most of them don't. They leave the real money making bits out.

Maverick Money Makers quite rightly was hyped up by its creator, Mack Michaels. He wants his product to sell, but he would look to be an idiot if this "maverick" failed to deliver.

I joined up and was met with a quite huge array of money making methods and ideas. I didn't know where to start. Well I did start and about a week later I have gone through the whole of Maverick Money Makers videos and training. It is a very detailed and easy to follow system.

In my 18 months of making money online, I have learned many different ways to create different streams of income online, most of it with trial and error and many soul-destroying setbacks.

In this last week, I have probably doubled the amount of ways that I know to make money online.

I have tried several of Maverick Money Makers methods so far. I have been using free classified ads. These are fantastic. You can write as many as you want for free. I have 34 currently running and have had exactly 405 views of my ads in just over a week. If I wanted to write 200 ads, that would give me almost 2500 views of my ads every week. Imagine the money making possibilities.

Another method I now using is putting targeted pay per click ads on hundreds of different sites. This is different because it is not one of the big 3 search engine pay per click programs. It is a far smaller ad marketplace but it has a massive daily audience. It is so easy to get at least 1000 cheap targeted clicks every day.

There are lots more money making techniques that I have yet to try but I don't know when I can use them all. There is just not enough time in the day.

Mack Michaels is unique in the way that he not only fills in the missing pieces of the jigsaw, he goes further and gives away his secrets that have made him a multi millionaire. It's all there in one club.

Maverick Money Makers has opened the door for many online money making "mavericks". - 15790
