Take Acting Classes

If you can’t act, you won’t break Hollywood. You want to be taken seriously as an actor, so take some lessons and get your technique right. The more experience you have, the better. Some people are naturally good actors, others are not.

Be Patient

Have plenty of patience. There’s a lot to learn in Hollywood, and it can take years to learn it all. Instead of expecting to get huge jobs and learning it all right away, think of it as like school. You need to learn a lot before you can get a huge job, so get impatient and give up. Stick at it.

Have Respect

Always be respectful. You never know who might try to help you or work with you, so ensure you’re nice to everyone. Have respect and show gratitude towards those who give you a chance. Don’t be a diva. Nobody likes a diva. Be honest and be sincere. You career is built upon relationships, so think long term when it comes to your connections.

Grab Opportunities

Take an opportunity wherever you can and use them to your advantage. If you get a job as a script copier, for example, make yourself a copy and read it. There are a ton of ways you can use a low position in Hollywood to learn and boost yourself higher.
