what challenges does an actor of Bollywood face???

We all know about  an actors life that how difficult is to be a celebrity in country like India where everyone wants their photos with a famous actor so that they can showoff within their circles.So its very difficult to for celebrities to live life normally.Every actor who is famous enough has to scarifies many things.so here we are going to show you the challenges that an actor of Bollywood face in his life.

challenges of an actors life include

-Makeup 

sometime Makeup takes a lot of time even more than acting part that day .so its very difficult to sit for long time like 3 to 4 hour..recently Aamir khan had done makeup on his whole body and it takes him about 5 houres to start shoot..[in Malang Malang song -tatoos]  .

-sometimes its very tough to remember scripts because of tough words which are very hard to remember. 

-people always judge and compare  them .Critics  never miss any opportunity to abuse any mistake done by actors they don't like.And news channels are always love this kind of topics they judge acting ,dancing ability of superstars...One mistake in your behavior with them and you are gone .They will make it issue enough big than other problems in India. Its very common for Indian peoples to compare each other during gossips and after sometime this comparison turns into fan-war  . yes ,you heard that right ,recently i found some Facebook pages of Indian superstars where fans abuse each other .

- pressure to look perfect .Nobody wants to show their face without makeup specially girls and so actress.Bollywood stars has to wear perfect clothes that matches their style and makeup so they look perfect.They don't repeat any dress if they do so  its gonna be a headline in news channels.

-pressure to work on different genres .

Nobody likes Actors doing same kind of movies regularly like Akshay kumar has done some comedy movies in short span of time and we all know what happened to his movies?? flop pe flop..

It doesn't mean he is not a good actor , i think he is  one of  the best actor of Indian cinema and he is the comedy king [ i am big fan of his comic timing]...

  

-Challenges in roles.

Its very hard to pretending someone else and doing the things right at the right time...they prepare for a particular role with full dedication... 

they have to shoot for long hours for a two minute scene and mostly it lasts till midnight.

Guidelines for career in Bollywood

want to become a Bollywood Actor / Actress? 

here Are some guidlines which are really important that can switch you from a Bollywood struggler to a star.so go ahead and implement this tips  in your plan to make  your Bollywood career.  

1) do a course in acting: 

Yes however good that you are – formal training and acting tips swill certainly lessen your struggle so learn it from a good institute. Apply to film and Television Institute Of  India ( check there website here  www. ftiindia. com) as well as National School of Dilemma (nsd. gov. in). If you can't get through them – after which try some private institutes including Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares – The particularly best institution for Actors (www. actorprepares. net). But remember learning formally is really a must that you experience confident on sets and it will be fun.

(2) Learn Dance:

Yep – however good actor that you are you are not best in Bollywood – unless you understand ABCD of how to dance. And so carry the formal training as a result of best of trainers – including Shiamak Davar dance academy  (www. sdipa. com). You need to be good at dancing in becoming a good actor in Bollywood. Keep in mind the harder you work on dance  in struggling days less you'll feel difficulty in  movies – therefore dance baby dance.

(3)Increase your Circle:

 Start off networking with folks with bollywood, hollywood (and other woodlands in India) – use on-line networking tools, your contacts in some sort of focussed manner and connect to as many people as you can. Have good professional relationships – because you don't know who stands out in the following for help you  in this industry. Network with guest lecturers in your acting classes , network with coordinators ,assistant directors ,company managers, photography director, editors, manufacturers etc. It is no  essential that you always ask for a role although networking – just connect and understand. 

(4) Find out professionalism: 

Professionalism is misused word in the profession – so you define what's professionalism is to you and comply with that. What i think about  this is to  meeting time committments, delivering what was committed, giving what it demands your character being its four or six pack abs, keeping your personal life private . You define your personal boundaries and limts and follow them. There may be examples where you may be

asked to compromise – get your professionalism yardstick and gauge if that is what for you to do.

(5) Make a specialist portfolio: 

You should come up with a specialized portfolio including some sort of physical portfolio album, CD portfolio and an online portfolio site. Make sure that your website look sexy  that features a blog section in with  your latest achievements. Have pics taken of yourself that looks  professional. Make a beautiful profile send them out in your acting resume to people that matter.

(6) Become known as well as famous: 

Yes you have to become famous [for anyone who is not getting any strong offers]. But careful in choosing  the method to get famous  – it should  never affect your leads in Bollywood badly. You have options to join some of the reality shows, talent seek hunt, model hunt, Miss India contest as well as Mr India shows,  Modelling assignments (for some massive brands). Do not join the project with could harm your interests.

Now here are some points which should be implemented only  if you are able to save enough after all expenses .

steps to make Bollywood career strong are

(7) Appoint an agent, appoint a secretary and have a mentor: 

You will need a real estate agent to survive in the profession. You will find many in the profession circles. Agents are people in Bollywood who are full of  contacts and information – that they work like your representative and promote you aren't producers. Hire a secretary to carry out your correspondence and communicate for your leisure (well it imporoves your value by having a secretary). And find a known person in industry and enquire him to become your mentor that will help you on any issue or maybe worry.

(8) Appoint some sort of PR agent: 

You will need an professional agent to complete your PR – which not just means releasing your activities to press and also advising you on what activitis to complete. We all know the extra  hype is important for this  industry and  PR agents best know how to use print media , radio, tv and web to construct interest about you.

(9) Decided your fist film cautiously:

 Be it the script, be it the particular banner, be it the particular co-stars, be it the part – chose your first big project carefully. I know newcomers are not allowed to be chosers – but remember usually do not do a movie which looks flop with the script.

(10) Trust yourself and keep striving: 

Yes and many ask the amount of time we keep trying before stopping? Well if you consult me I'll say don't stop till you get it. But being  aware of reality  – try after once you have started from  a minimum of three full years before stopping or taking any alternate career.But i know you can't so First try to get a job related to same field ,yes there are many jobs you can do ,do a google search what is right for you ..

I hope  these tips can help the particular wannabe actors and actress to  undertake a definite thought  and develop their plans effectively. If you  find it  useful  share your opinion  inside comments below.

how to face fear of audition?

Facing the fear of audition

Audition can be a scary process.And many of us  struggles while in audition  .Me also have gone through this condition because You could be asked to do anything.Even i have not given much auditions but after some auditions i feel that i am unable to give my best due to my nervousness so i decided to found a solution for it .I have searched a lot on google about facing an audition easily .so here i will try to put all my gathered knowledge about this topic.After reading this post you will be able to keep yourself cool and  sail through any audition.

 1.Force yourself  to overcome nervousness 

In doing so you have to think that '' this could be only my  chance so i will do my best and for me its easy,it's easy ''.If you will think it's easy then your mind will generate a kind of hormone which help to build temporary confidence.[i have read it in a study report from bbc}.so this temporary hormone can make your way easier.

2.Enjoy the process- you could be feel nervous in first few auditions but after you will gain some experience it will be easier to make balance your nerves.

{remember you are going to be an actor so observe the situation so you can use as inspiration  for character  in future}  

3.Don't waste your time -Make sure to research the character ,read your line over and over so you don't forget them in  audition .It's really happened to me.I had forgotten my lines sometimes in past Auditions and went nervous  means i lost my chance so if you don't want to let this happen to yourself use every second  of it. Because every minutes count show them what you are capable of do. 

4. Exercise -Do some exercise  like vocal ,deep breathing,facial exercise .They will make you feel calm.

5.Go there early so you could get enough time to read script.

6. once you been entered there Listen carefully every word and make clear response to every question.
