Actresses must obtain experience to gain recognition and improve their acting abilities. Many actresses participate in community theater productions, while others work in dinner theaters or theme parks to gain professional experience. Acting is a highly competitive field and requires that actresses compete for roles through an audition process. Auditions are usually held with the casting director, director and/or producer. Auditions may require the actress to memorize lines or spend time researching ways to interpret the character. Make a point to audition frequently. Not only does it increase the likelihood of getting a role, but it’s also a good way to ensure that people recognize you. Show up on time for each audition and know your material. Be talkative and confident in yourself, and engage those around you in conversation. Don’t be discouraged by rejections, as they are typically part of the process.
