A career in acting means overcoming a number of hurdles and developing a strong set of skills necessary to succeed both on- and off-stage. Perhaps no other profession presents a less straightforward path to success than acting, and anyone pursuing that path needs to answer several questions along the way, including: Do I need to earn a college degree or complete a formal education from a professional acting school? How do I gain real acting experience? Is it absolutely necessary to obtain the services of an agent or manager?

This guide serves as a starting point for anyone seriously interested in the world of professional acting. It includes a brief description of the real working life of actors and actresses, a rundown of the skills one must develop to succeed in this highly competitive field, and a list of steps to consider in pursuit of an acting career.'
