Are you an actor that is always confused about what type of acting you should pursue? Do you want to become a more versatile actor? If so, PSPA is here to help! We’ve created a blog post to help actors find their niche.

First and foremost, you should know who you are as an artist. You need to be able to come up with your own unique brand, and understand what makes you different from other actors. You also need to know what kind of roles you would be good at playing, based on your skills and experience.

The next step is to create a clear career pathway for yourself. This means knowing your dream role and the steps it will take to get there. If you don’t have a plan, then how do you expect yourself to succeed?

Our last piece of advice is not necessarily related to acting, but it’s important nonetheless: make sure that you live a healthy lifestyle! As an actor, your body is your instrument and therefore it needs proper care in order for it perform at its best. We recommend eating healthy foods (don’t forget about those veggies!) and getting plenty of sleep every night (at least 8 hours).

Honing your craft is the first step to becoming a great actor. But there’s more to being an actor than knowing how to hit your mark, or whether you should be a stage actor or film actor.

The more versatile you are in performing different roles, the more you can show off what you’re capable of as a performer. Versatility is also a huge advantage when it comes time to audition for parts – after all, an agent or casting director can’t be sure what role will fit you best unless they see a variety of options.

But versatility isn’t always easy to achieve – especially if you’re not sure where to start. Here are three ways that actors can become more versatile and improve their performances:

You’ve probably heard the term “triple threat” tossed around in the theatre world. Traditionally, it refers to someone who can act, dance, and sing. Many performers strive to be all of these things. However, just because you don’t fit this mold doesn’t mean you can’t have a flourishing career in the entertainment industry.

When I first moved to New York City, I was so focused on being a triple threat that I didn’t realize there were so many other opportunities for me. My background is more in acting than anything else; I did some musical theatre growing up and took singing lessons as an adult, but my dancing is pretty much non-existent. Once I started auditioning here in New York, though, I realized just how many people don’t fit the traditional triple threat mold! You need dancers to perform in musicals, but you also need singers who can do dramatic roles and take on commercials. You need actors who specialize in comedy and drama (and everything in between), and you need dancers with all types of specialty skills as well – from ballerinas to hip hop dancers.

The entertainment industry is full of opportunity for performers with diverse skill sets! It will

For the past few years, I’ve been playing a lot of different roles. Like, a lot. I’ve gone from being a high schooler in Grease to a prospective college student in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, to an innocent nun-in-training in Nunsense, to a sweet and sassy eight year old in Annie.

Each role is so different that sometimes I’m not sure who I am when I come off stage.

But no matter how much I love being versatile and accepting new challenges, there are times where the constant change can be exhausting. The longer you do this, the more you start to notice how you personally like to perform — what’s comfortable for you, what your strengths are, etc. And while it’s awesome to be able to play many different types of characters, it can also be nice to have one type of character that’s just yours; something that you can call your “niche.”

So how do you find your niche? Here are some things worth considering.

It’s easy to feel like a jack of all trades and master of none when you’re getting started as an actor. You want to be the greatest actor of your generation, but you also want to sing, dance, do accents, do impressions, do stunts…you want to do it all!

The problem is that no one will hire you if they think you’re just a generalist. To get hired as an actor, casting directors need to know that you have specific strengths and skills that will help them solve their problems.

Your job as an actor is not to convince everyone in the room that you are the best actor in the world (although it’s great if you can). Your job is to convince the people in the room that you are the best person for the gig at hand (which may or may not be linked to your overall abilities).

We’ve all had this experience: You go to a show, and you find yourself really enjoying one of the actors/performers. You don’t know why, exactly, but they just have something special. They seem to be able to step into anyone’s shoes and make it look easy. We call this type of actor a “versatile performer.” But how do we become one?

First things first, let’s define the term “versatile performer.” We like to think that it means an actor who can do pretty much everything well, from comedy to drama and everything in-between. There are clearly different degrees of versatility – just as there are different degrees of any talent/skill out there – but, for our purposes here, we are going to talk about being able to play a wide range of roles (without seeming completely out of your element) as being a versatile performer.

So now that we know what it means, let’s talk about how you can develop this skill. First things first: the most important thing you can do is train in different areas and on different skillsets. There are many different types of training programs – musical theatre programs, acting programs, etc
