Hit the Mark: What to do on Audition Day
If you want to be famous, or become a successful artist, you can shoot for Broadway, or be in a band and be discovered, or become a solo artist who sings and dances. You can be any of these, as long as you have the skills and the talent, plus the right amount of guts. But, bear in mind that you can't become famous in just one day. It takes time, even for the big stars like Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Bono, and Justin Bieber. All of them underwent intense training. Maybe you could improve by just practicing alone at home, but chances are, you will come out short.
Enrolling yourself in dance, singing and acting workshop will help you improve yourself and your chances in getting your dream. Though it can be hard to find good teachers, there are many mentors out there who can really help you develop your talent. Unfortunately, there are also some of them that only plan to suck the money out of you. So what to do?
Ask for referrals, if you think your current teacher doesn't fit the bill. Assess your mentors and see if they can provide you guidance on your journey to stardom. In workshops and talent agencies, you would still need to audition. So you have to be prepared, even just at home, with your parents, or anyone who can support you. Finding an honest, licensed talent agency is a good first step in finding success; they can help you make the right decisions.
It would be towards your advantage if you look for references and credentials when shopping for a mentor. You can also ask around and contact the people within your industry so that they can give you the best possible referral.
You also need a lot of self-assessment. Ask yourself if you have what it takes to become a star. You might have the love for it, but sometimes you have to look for something else to do. Not everybody is meant to be a star. The entertainment world is very harsh; sometimes even the good ones won't get very far. It's the reality my friend. So, before you start spending money for lessons, think twice.
