This article will guide you on how to become a Nollywood actor without going through the backdoor of bribery where many have been scammed.
First of all, you must be passionate and talented about acting. Passion is the fuel that would propel you to the limelight in any field and acting is not an exception.
When passion meets talent, what happens is usually an explosion that reveals all your potential and repositions you for greatness. Passion is what keeps you determined against all odds and helps you scale obstacles.
Talent, on the other hand, is that which makes you correctly interpret roles, and take up different personalities easily and comfortably.
This may come naturally to some people and for others, through years of practicing and mimicking people, they have become really good.
Also, a good physique such as a cute face, well-built muscular body, height, etc., or unique features such as thick kinky black hair, rare skin or eye color, small stature, deep voice, etc. is what some people could call talent enhancers.

A person’s poise and charisma are also talent enhancers and could land a potential actor some very rare life-changing opportunities.
However, having passion, talents, and a load of talent enhancers, is not enough. You have to look out for legitimate movie auditions and attend auditions. Go out there and show people what you have to offer.
Auditions provide a good platform for you to go sell yourself and your skills. This is where a movie producer or top actor or actress may be drawn to you, get interested in you, and help you up to the ladder of a career as an actor.
If you have difficulties finding legit auditions, you have the option of registering with a talent agency. Usually, a registration fee is required of you after which they become liaisons for you.
Talent agencies will not only spot opportunities on your behalf, but they will also groom you in such a way that you will be able to compete favorably with other people competing for the same opportunity and win.
