Step Six

of becoming a successful actress/actor

Work on your special skills

Being a good actor should always be your main priority but that doesn't mean you can't learn any “ accessory” skills. This will help you book more acting jobs. Many actors completely ignore this part, and therefore take themselves out of running for easy gigs that they could have gotten if they had a particular skill. It's always helpful to be able to do something that a director can use in the production. If you already can play musical instruments and do more unique stuff, such as riding a horse, that's great. But don't stop there. They will learn new things if you spend enough time to actually Master the technique to an adequate level where you can at least fake it to look like a professional.
