Practice Makes Perfect

When starting out, practice makes perfect – but even when established actors get casted for projects they must still rehearse their lines thoroughly until they become second nature.

Read books about acting techniques, watch movies and plays featuring great performances (either live or through streaming services), record yourself saying lines so you can hear how they sound coming from your own mouth – do whatever it takes to be comfortable with both words and actions before getting into an audition room.

When deciding which part suits best for any particular project choose something close enough yet challenging enough at the same time – this will help improve skills while having fun along the way!
