Dear friend,

If you wish to become an actor or a film director, then firstly you will have to join any Filming School or Institute available in our country.

After completing this course, you can get a chance to act in Commercial Ads.

If your acting is impressive enough to withdraw attention of your viewers, then you may get a call from film producers or directors for acting in films.

There are numerous filming schools available in our nation. Some of them are listed below:

FTII, Pune Film and Television Institute of India
This institute offers 2 year PG Diploma in Acting.

The Barry John Acting studio
Located in Mumbai offers various courses including the Diploma and Certificate courses in acting.

NSD offers a 3 year course which leads to a PG diploma in Dramatic Arts.
http://nsd.gov.in/

AAFT, Noida

Often people will advice you about doing courses in 'traditional' streams like MBA, Computers, Engineering, Medicine but you should pick up a stream where your heart is. May be you are not in the mould of traditional education, may be you have a creative bent of mind. If you have interest in visual communications; film making, acting, fine arts you should pursue these.
For Acting you can try – NSD, New Delhi
FTII – Pune
CPIFT – City Pulse Institute of Film & TV, Gandhinagar
NSD & FTII both need you to have a bachelors degree, whereas at CPIFT you need is 10+2 since the institute gives you a UGC approved Bachelors and masters degree.
You can get enrolled for B.A. and M.A. level courses in Acting and film making - try CPIFT (city Pulse Institute of Film & Television) where you get a university bachelor's or master's degree. Go to their website for further details. As far as I know their admissions are open for 2014-15.
XXXXX
BEST FILM SCHOOLS IN INDIA
1. Film & TV Institute of India, Pune
2. National School of Drama, New Delhi
3. Mass Communication, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi
4. CPIFT – City Pulse Institute of Film & Television, Ganhinagar, Gujarat

Re: How to become an actor or director?

So, you don’t want to go to film school because you don’t want to end up with a “bunch of wannabes”? I hate to break it to you but right now that’s exactly what you are – you “wannabe” in film and you’re not, there’s no shame in that. You live in Canada and there are great (more affordable) film schools there boasting many successful graduates. It would seem a person who is passionate about pursuing a dream (whatever it is) would be a fount of knowledge on their goal – yet you know very little about yours. I remember sitting in movie theaters when I first began chasing my dreams in the film industry and at the first roll of credits I could tell you every film credit connected to every name that crawled past. I know that’s why “answers” is here, but it seems as if you’ve done very little to learn about this dream you say you’re after, which makes one question if it’s something you’re really serious about.

Assuming you are serious, you should have your head in every book, screenplay and film that educates you on the industry. How many successful Asian directors are there?...if you take it upon yourself to spend hours at a film library every week you’ll discover there’s more than you can count (depending on your definition of success). There are several independent film clubs/organizations that allow its members to rent equipment at a discounted rate and offer regular seminars all over Canada, there are even film-making camps for aspiring student filmmakers. All this groundwork might lead you to realize becoming a director is more than hard work, or everyone would be in the director’s chair. It’s a delicate mix of creativity, communication, interpretation…too many things to name and the pay scale varies just as greatly.

hii friend...you should have following qualities to become actor or director.......

Actors perform in stage, radio, television, video, or motion picture productions. They also work in cabarets, nightclubs, and theme parks. Actors portray characters, and, for more complex roles, they research their character's traits and circumstances so that they can better understand a script.

Most actors struggle to find steady work and only a few achieve recognition as stars. Others work as “extras,” with no lines to deliver. Some actors do voiceover and narration work for advertisements, animated features, books on tape, and other electronic media. They also teach in high school or university drama departments, acting conservatories, or public programs.


Directors are responsible for the overall creative decisions of a production. They interpret scripts, audition and select cast members, conduct rehearsals, and direct the work of cast and crew. They approve the design elements of a production, including the sets, costumes, choreography, and music. As with producers, large productions often have many levels of directors working on them. Assistant directors cue the performers and technicians, telling them when to make entrances or light, sound, or set changes. All directors must ultimately answer to the executive producer, who has the final say on all factors related to the production

Re: How to become an actor or director?

HI!

To become an actor you must posses these qualities:

# You have good physique and you maintain it
# You have good voice
# You have good looks
# You have good acting capabilities
# You are a good networker and get along well with people

To become an actor you must learn acting & dancing. Formal traing will shorten your struggle. Apply to:
Film And Television Institute Of India (www.ftiindia.com) or
National School of Drama (nsd.gov.in).

If you can not get through them – then try some private institutes like Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares – The School for Actors (www.actorprepares.net).

Start networking with folks in bollywood and other woods in India – use online networking tools, your contacts in a focussed manner and connect with as many people as you can.

Re: How to become an actor or director?

Hello friend!


Wow that sounds great, for the first time in education and career form I heard about Cinema field, I dont know about past.

Well for becoming an actor or a director you must have some talent and much interest in the respective field. Then there is a fair chance of becoming an actor or director. If you possess some talent then you have to join acting school where they can teach you about professional acting or directing. They will make you professional by taking out your skills that which are hidden in you.

All the chances wont come to you directly, for filmy chances you have to try hard to get into cine field. Try to convinience producers with what you have and prove your talent. Attend the auditions where there is a chance for your talent. Mostly you need one more thing and that is luck which plays a crucial role in your career.

Good luck!

Re: How to become an actor or director?

first of all join some film/drama training institute and hone your skills...you may also join some theatres and keep trying to send your profile to various program directors and producers.acting/direction is no longer a layman's work, you got to learn technical and proceural aspects of it. barry john has an academy in saidulajab near saket in delhi, he trained actors like shah-rukh khan,shiny arora, kaungna raut etc

Re: How to become an actor or director?

First things first - you need to sell yourself. Promote, network, and promote yourself some more. Starting out, you probably won't have a talent agent, manager or other form or representation. That's okay. Every actor begins working on their own and at the earliest stages of your acting career, you won't need an agent. However, even if you've already signed with a talent agent these rules still apply to you.

Re: How to become an actor or director?

the best possible answer to this question will be join any film instute as there are many to name a few and then start modelling and picking up ads at your society or place and participate in all the drama events and telivision programes but there is no such surity of getting a role as an actor and i am quite satisfied by the answer from the wisdom but with it i will like to add if you have the potential then you will certainly be appreciated try your luck if it works then you wil l aslso be a star but any surity is not there but as they say hard wrk is always rewarded and so is with your efforts . regarding director ten you must have to learn the art from film institutes and then only you can be a good director. wish you luck and success.
