So many people want to be actors or actress that the only advice should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't!"But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act ,although few of them could realize their dreams.The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school.Usually only students who show promise and gifts are accepted,and the course lasts two years,Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company,usually as an assistant stage manager.This means doing everything that there is to do in the theater:painting scenery,taking care of the costumes,and even acting in very small parts.It is very hard word indeed,the hours are long and the salary is tiny.
Of course,sone people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training.Connie Pratt,for example,was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop,as he drove past in his car .He stopped and got out to speak to the girl.He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test,and she thought he was joking.Then she got angry and said she would call the police.It tood the producer twenty ninutes to make her believe that he was serious.The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day.But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
许许多多的年轻人想成为一名演员——只有一个建议给他们:永远别想了!但是打消他们必须要做演员的念头不是件容易的是,而他们中的确很少有人最后会成功.通常的初步方式是进入一家戏剧学校,而通常只有‘开后门’的学生才能进去.两年的课程,然后年轻的演员们就会去一家电影公司,通常是从舞台经理助理做起——这就意味着需要在剧院中做任何能做的事:布置背景、招待观众、甚至是在剧中演一个小的不能再小的角色,换来的确是长时间的辛苦工作少的可怜的工资.
当然,也会有些幸运的人没有通过长期的辛苦经历而得到名望与成功.如Connie Pratt,一个在自行车厂里工作的普通女孩.当时一名电影制片人在车站等车时恰巧瞥见她,他问她是否愿意去电影制片厂做一下面试.她以为这个制片人是在开玩笑,并且生气的说要报警.制片人花了九牛二虎之力才使她相信他的确是个制片人并且没有开玩笑.结果面试很成功,过了几个星期后,她就与一名著名的演员演对角戏.但是像这样的机会实在是可遇不可得!
