How can I get on Broadway ??

...Practice and go to auditions. If you%26#039;re good, you%26#039;ll get in. Get a singing/dancing coach for a LONG time beforehand, though - you have to be the best.

How can I get on Broadway ??
Well this is a somewhat random question. You don%26#039;t give your age or experience or any kind of information to work with.





However, I can give you some general information.





First off, to be a part of theatre at all takes a lot of luck, a lot of talent and an incredible amount of patience and experience.





First you need to just be involved in theatre, so joining any and every group you can.





Second, go to an acting school, or university to study a theatre studies degree. Study and learn, acting isn%26#039;t a job, it%26#039;s a passion, it%26#039;s a hobby, it%26#039;s art, it%26#039;s a craft.





Third, register yourself with an agency and get a lot of experience behind you working professional.





Fourth. Have patience, thousands of actors never make money from acting, even more never even make broadway or the west end. You%26#039;ll need a lot of luck, but you can edge the odds in your favour by being the best you can be, by not being afraid to take any role, no matter what it is or what it requires you to do. Even if you ARE to make it to broadway one day, it will be a long itme, take a lot of experience, a lot of shows under your belt.





Once you have that you need to make sure you are being seen in America, get auditions for shows in the US, take all the ones you can. When you%26#039;re ready make the switch to live there, get another agent for America. And still rely on luck, but always do your very best.





There%26#039;s no guarentee you%26#039;ll ever make it. Even if you do the very best you can, be the very best you cna be and be consistent all through your career, if you%26#039;re not right for broadway, you won%26#039;t get there. If you%26#039;re not right for a role you won%26#039;t get it.





Let%26#039;s assume for the moment that you get to the stage in your career when you are close, very close to being right to take on broadway. Then you need to pick your auditions carefully and be as prepared as possible. Make yourself the only real candidate by being exactly who the role calls for.








It%26#039;s going to be a long, hard weary road to get to being on broadway, if it happens at all. So never give in, and never think its too much for you. Defeatists will never get onto broadway, so always think positively and be positive about things.

Reply:1. Training. Acting/Dancing/Singing classes are a good start. You start to get some talent under your belt, and grow your confidence. Plus, if after about a year of classes if you realize you really don%26#039;t like it, it%26#039;ll be easier for you to back out.





2. Experience. Do Community Theater, act in your school play, get in some student films, etc. You%26#039;ll want to do as many productions as possible to have a great resume.





3. Agent. http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/tale...





As you can see, you%26#039;re going to need to spend at least two years (At the VERY least. Usually you%26#039;ll need three to four.) building yourself up. You%26#039;ll want to make sure this is what you really want to do before you start getting into this.





Also, you should NEVER have to pay for anything when it comes to getting an agent. If an agent tells you to take special classes from them or a website asks for a credit card number, that is a red flag that it is a scam. Some of the big scammers out there are: John Robert Powers, Millie Lewis, John Casablancas, Proscout, Model Look, Barbizon.





Hope this helps and I wish you a fantastic career. =)
