Acting Preparation

Hi Devraj, You can take up acting classes or theaters on weekend for brushing up your acting skills. Once you are sure you are good at it, you can start giving auditions at productions houses and casting agencies on weekends. I would suggest you to not give up your job because acting is a tricky career. You might and might not end up doing well. So focus on the weekends.

TOEFL- If you are proficient in English, then you should not spend more than a total of 15 hrs. Just solve few sample tests. Same goes for IELTS. If you are moderately proficient, spend 2 hours every day for 3 weeks.
For SAT and ACT: It depends on your proficiency and your target score. If you are aiming for the top 10 percentile and also are quite proficient already, then spend 3 hours for 2 weeks solving papers and revision. If you have just started preparing, then spend 2 hours for 3 months to gain good understanding of the test pattern and to do well.

Hi,
1. Watch a hell lotta movies. The better your understanding about film, the better your chances at cracking the essay.
2. Start watching movies which are critic acclaimed. Neorealism, contemporary, etc. There are a lot of movies that are kind of a must watch so that you have a basic understanding of why films are made.
3. There is no syllabus as such.
All the best for your future ventures.

You can go through various YouTube channels who publish their demo show reels. You can also watch Sir Michael Caine's master acting class video.
