Some Actors choose to get their training outside of traditional higher education. Acting studios, improv studios, and more can be found in both large cities and small towns. Whether or not an Actor decides to study the craft of acting, the only way to lay a foundation for future success is to get started doing it. Many aspiring Actors start on the path to being professionals well before they graduate high school, which means it’s never too soon to begin honing those acting skills. Local theaters can also provide opportunities to build a resume of work regardless of your age. Given that your average smartphone has the capacity to capture high-quality footage, many emerging Actors collaborate with other creatives to make DIY short films and web series.
