Acting Qualifications

Education
There are no specific educational qualifications to begin an acting career, though a fine arts degree in acting can be a valuable first step. Actor training can range from classes that last a few weeks to bachelors or masters degree taking several years. Many future actors begin in high school and community theater productions.

Abilities
Becoming a qualified actor requires dedication and perseverance. Even the most skilled actor may have to face countless auditions before getting a job. Of course, you must also be able to act. Aspiring actors need to be skilled in expressing authentic emotions and have the physical stamina to endure the long days of rehearsals and production that most theater, television, and film projects require. Actors must be skilled in memorization and have the ability to sometimes perform complex choreography. Specific skills such as musical abilities, multiple languages, or stunts are often a bonus for anyone looking to become qualified for an acting career.

Experience
Actors act. The best way to become qualify yourself for an acting career is to gain as much experience as possible, whether through workshops, community and school productions, or working with a private acting mentor. Any acting experience is likely to add to your potential as an actor.
