HOW DOES AN OUTSIDER GET WORK IN MUMBAI?
Many actors who belong to a
star family intend to get work easily in Bollywood. Star kids like Ananya
Pandey, Shraddha Kapoor, Jahnvi Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, etc every of them
got their work easily because of their families who were popular celebrities in
Bollywood. But outsiders like Rajkumar Rao, Vicky Kaushal, Anushka Sharma, and Katrina Kaif worked and struggle harder to get one project in
Bollywood. Outsiders need many recognition, talents, and skills for getting
a junior artist role in a film. Let’s have an outlook on how outsiders get work in Bollywood.
·
Outsiders must have
great talent and showcase their talents during their auditions to get
work easily.
·
They must practice
and improvise their acting skills to get noticed by the directors and the
production houses easily.
In today’s era, famous Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurana, Kangana
Ranaut, Pankaj Tripathi, Kartik Aryan, Vidya Balan, Priyanka Chopra, and
directors like Anurag Basu and Anurag Kashyap, etc don’t belong from Bollywood
but they are famous worldwide in the Bollywood industry for their excellent
performance and acting skills. Each one of them has struggled a lot to reach this height of success. It is not true that the outsiders who come to establish
themselves as actors in Bollywood get step-motherly treatment and don’t get
work. Many new faces in the industry get good quality work in both films and
web series because they have got inborn talent. Similarly, if any aspiring
actor has got the talent, he/she will eventually get work very easily in
Bollywood. Though it will not happen overnight or by a cakewalk journey by
working on yourself, self-marketing, hard work, and perseverance will help every aspiring actor to become a successful actor in Bollywood.

HOW TO
MEET THE CASTING DIRECTORS?
Every
youth must visit the casting directors during the evening as at that moment
they can easily connect with their peers. During the morning to noon timing,
the assistants of all the casting directors take the auditions of every youth
so it is highly recommendable to connect with the casting directors personally
during the evening.

PROCESS OF CRACKING BOLLYWOOD AUDITIONS-:
·
Sending profile to
the casting directors is mandatory for all the youths. Every youth must click a decent amount of their photographs without editing them and send them to the
casting directors. The selection of youths is also incomplete without their monologues.
·
Youths must
introduce themselves in a very proper way and they need to approach the casting directors.
·
Youths must ask
smart and crisp questions about the character they will be auditioning for.
This way the casting director will find out the way that the aspiring actors
are quite serious about their profession.
·
Youths must learn
their lines before the auditions thoroughly as it helps the casting director to
get impressed. Before delivering every dialect in front of the casting director,
youths must be verbally prepared for it.
·
Youths must be
respectful towards the casting director and other crew members of the
production house. There must be a breach of boundaries between the casting
director and the aspiring actors.
·
Aspiring actors must
use their accounts smartly as whenever the casting directors see the youth
profile, he/she automatically gets selected. Social media accounts help them
to do their research and thereafter the casting director sends their teams to
audition those youths.
·
Aspiring actors
should not message the casting directors incessantly as the youths think that
if they keep buttering the casting directors, they will land the role
someday. Those greeting card days are gone.
Many peers who cannot go
directly to Mumbai and give their auditions can give their auditions online
mode. The Struggler is a platform where any youth can receive information

effectively whereas online audition updates include daily audition updates from
the casting directors, leading them to prepare themselves much more
