There’s good news, and then there’s bad news.
The good news is that there are 2 guaranteed formulas on how to win auditions and be a successful actor.
The bad news, however, is that these 2 formulas are not easy to crack. But if you stick with it, follow the rules, play the game, and give it all you’ve got, you might be a star in Bollywood or Hollywood or in TV.

Prescription 1
Your Type = age range + jobs + attitude
- Your type
We are all born a certain way, with a certain “look” and unless we want to commit to drastic plastic surgery, then we will be cast as specific roles in our acting careers. It’s up to actors to be smart enough to identify that look, harness it, and use it to our advantage. Are you look and suitable for:
Examples
- Leading man/woman
- 2nd man/woman
- College student
- Teacher, professor or principal
- Village farmer
- Good or a bad friend
- Common street man/woman
- Shopkeeper
- Taxi driver
- Businessman
- Executive
- Priest / Pujari
- Crooked and sly
- Comedian
- Look belonging to a particular ethnicity like South Indian, North East etc
- Short, Tall, Fat, Sickly
- With a particular voice, accent and body language
How to conclude your 'Type'
- Take a good hard look in the mirror. Pay attention to your face, your weight, your ethnicity, and your personality. Do you have a receding hairline? Do you have a thick accent? Listen to your voice. Do you sound smart and articulate when you talk, or do you sound uneducated? Be. Honest
- Finally, ask your close friends, an acting coach, or anyone who will be honest with you. Your good friends will be honest with you.
- Age range
For example, you look between 22-32. This is called as screen age range
- Jobs
Audition requirements for a role eg. college student, hot, sexy, taxi driver, shopkeeper, professor, middle-aged father, character actor, businessman etc
- Attitude
As an individual are you a positive, negative, shy, aggressive, introvert, smiling, argumentative, peaceful, brave etc?
