Thousands of people wonder how to become a Nollywood actor. What differentiates you, an aspiring actor from a professional, isn’t beauty or class. It’s performance.
You never get callbacks after auditioning and this must have left you wondering. If you ever want to become a Nollywood actor, like one of those actors who eventually get to the top, then these tips will help you prepare and improve your skills for your next audition.
How to Become a Nollywood Actor Now
Building up this quality isn’t as simple as it sounds. It takes a lot of practice. When you arrive at an audition ground, walk in boldly and with your head held high.
Avoid feet shuffling, it can really embarrass you without you knowing it. Also, things begin to go wrong the moment you start being nervous, so be bold. Be conscious of your countenance and smile at every point.
It’s nobody’s problem if you are feeling unwell, or not having a good day. Drop that outside the door before getting in. You may or may not already be aware that the moment you walk in the door, you are slowly evaluated by the people there. So body language and good posture should also be practised before you arrive.
This quality you should already have, but for a movie audition, you may need to adjust your former personality. This means that you have to be smart and spice it up with a lot of curiosity. The movie industry is looking for people like that.
Don’t just go with everything you are asked to do. Movie and casting directors don’t like that. Ask questions when you are being auditioned or in a conversation with the directors. This shows you are ready to explore and to put in your best ideas.
Try as much as possible to connect with the next person or whoever you are being auditioned by. Memorize the lines in the material as this will help you maintain eye contact.
Understand what the script lines and the dialogue are about. This will help you look real. You need to empower yourself for your next audition. If you think you have what it takes to become a Nollywood actor, this is the time to make your move.
