how can I become a TV director?
85981
I don't believe most t.v. directors began their career with direcion in mind. Go to school, learn your craft, and get involved with television on some level. Anyone you meet could be that person who someday will get your "foot in the door". There are many different types of jobs in the media industry. With persistence, luck, and strong effort, you can eventually be whatever you want.

This is a very tough industry. Over here (USA) you need to take voice-over acting classes.  Most liberal arts school offer this. I know ADV does there own in house dubbing for most of there stuff.  You could probably get in contact with them. Im sure they are looking for new talent. But voice-over classes is a must (in the usa anyway) unless you start your own anime.  Other anime mass producing companies you could probably contact :  Anime-works  MANGA\nADV started as a group of people buying laserdiscs and subtittling them in a living room in texas somewhere for fun. Now look at them.

If you are in the UK there are several different routes.\n\n1. Do a degree in food technology or design technology specialising in food.  After degree you can go one of two ways...\n1a. If over 23 (I think, might be 25 but I'm fairly sure its 23) you can do a Graduate Teacher Programme which basically involves working and getting paid as a teacher in a real school under supervision of a qualified teacher and a university which supervises the course.  You complete assignments and it can be completed in a very short amount of time.\n1b.  At any age, do a PGCE at a university.  The governement offers a lot of incentives such as a grant.  You are in uni most of the time, but have placements in schools.\n\nA second route is to do an education degree with qualifieds teaching status (QTS) , this takes 3 to 4 years and means you don't need to do a post graduate degree.

Hi, I have a guide dog from Guiding Eyes For The Blind (GEB) and if you go to www.guidingeyes.org and click on about us and then look down on the left hand side almost in the middle there is a link that says employment and then one of the first  employment oppertunities talked about is becoming a guide dog instructor.  You have to go through steps.  Like work in the kennel and stuff and I've heard it can take a long time.  Some other schools are the seeing eye, guide dog foundation, guide dogs for the blind and others.  Just put in guide dog when you search.  Take care, Cricket and Guide dog Buddy

First off, I would suggest finding a film or TV production company in your local area. Better to be a big fish in a smaller moviemaking pond like Capetown than to be just another guppy in Hollywood. Star in as much as you can whether its TV radio, movies, telethons, personal appearances, etc. Get together a resume of solid work and start sending the resumes and a clips reel of stuff youve done to talent agents in larger markets. Work your way up, it takes a long time, but if you have talent, talent will not be denied.

Although being an actor is extremely rewarding, finding work can be a challenge. The profession requires great commitment and fortitude. \n \n   \n  Steps:  \n1.   Decide whether you want to be a professional actor (addressed here) or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on.  \n  \n2.   Move to a major city. Eventually, New York or Los Angeles will be your destination, but as you build your résumé of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities.  \n  \n3.   Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references.  \n  \n4.   Get a headshot (see "How to Get a Headshot," under Related eHows).  \n  \n5.   Compose a résumé of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays) from your résumé.  \n  \n6.   Send your headshot and résumé with a brief cover letter to all the casting directors and agents in your area. Follow up with postcards every four to six months, updating them on your current acting projects.  \n  \n7.   Read the trade papers regularly: "Backstage," "Dramalogue," "The Ross Reports" and "Variety," as well as online publications such as newenglandfilm.com, as appropriate. Know what is being cast where, and send headshots and notes directly to directors and producers whenever possible, requesting auditions.  \n  \n8.   Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important.  \n  \n9.   Persevere.  \n  \n  Tips:  \n Acting is a tough business; make sure your personality is suited for the ups and downs. If not, amateur theater is also a good way to practice your craft.  \n  \n Ignore negative clichés about actors and the entertainment business.  \n  \n  \n Warnings:  \n Be skeptical of shady services offered to actors; there are many scams that prey on the dreams of actors.  \n  \n\nActing teachings by Charlie Capen\nTo be a great actor, one must learn or study. \n\nSome good schools or acting teachings are Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, etc. \n\nBy far, my favorite school (in LA) is The Beverly Hills Playhouse. It is an amazing school and teaches acting, administration (of your career, etc.) and ethics. The teacher has studied with many of the greats as a peer and student. \n\nBut most importantly, follow your heart and dreams, and don't let anyone squash them for they are future not yet come into fruition.

It's best to get some experience first.  An agent won't take you on if you're an unknown quantity.  \n\nTake some acting classes.  If you're interested in film/TV, take classes geared toward that.  Do some community theatre, volunteer to be in student films at your local college.  (Ask for a copy of the tape as payment.)  \n\nGet some nice headshots done.  It's good to have the picture printed on postcards, so when you're in a production you can use them to send out announcements to agents/casting directors.  Sometimes they come to showcases.  \n\nAudition for everything.  You'll learn something new every time, and you'll be come a familiar face.  \n\nOnce you have some credits to put on a resume and some experience under your belt, start applying to agencies.  You may get a "Sorry, we have enough of your type/age/experience now."  Don't badger them, but re-apply in six months.  \n\nKeep studying, keep working on the craft, and be a cooperative actor.  Word of mouth is a powerful factor, and if you get a reputation as difficult, it won't matter how good you are.  \n\nBreak a leg!

Well you must start in a industry that can give you good experience... Try being in a movie company and make sure to rub elbows with the management...\n\nGood connections as well... Politics in this industry is high so you must have a good talking ability... With out any connections you might end up no where...\n\nMoney is also a factor in this industry... But not that much coz producers are the one who settles this out...\n\nBottom line is CONNECTION WITH THE RIGHT PERSON WILL GET YOU SOMEWHERE...\n\nHope I was able to help =)

Starting a new TV channel takes a lot of money and effort!  It takes millions of dollars just to get a cable channel going, let alone a national network.  It's not something that just anyone off the street can do.  And keeping it on the air is even harder to do.  It's so hard that WB and UPN couldn't even do it alone - they had to merge into one channel that will be starting this fall called the CW.  \n\nEven if you could find investors with money, they would undoubtedly want someone in charge who knows how to run a television channel, or at least has a lot of television production experience.  Do you have experience in the television industry?\n\nNow, what you COULD do is get involved with the television industry in your area.  You can take classes in television production at many community colleges.  And you could try to get a job at a local affiliate in your area.  If you want to run a TV channel, why not work your way up the ladder at an already existing station in your area?  If you can't find a job with a local station, you could also try getting a job at a local television production company.  Production companies make commercials and smaller TV shows that air on your local cable channels.  And finally, if you just have a desire to create your own shows, many cable networks have "public access" channels, which means they will accept and broadcast a show given to them by the public, as long as it meets some basic guidelines.  If your local cable company doesn't do this, try the cable company in a large city close to you.  And good luck!\n\nOn the other hand, if you're a multi-millionaire give me a call and I'll help you get your station up and running!

You can buy books on the subject or study at college. Free?, fat chance.\n  But the best Advice I will give you (for free) is to grab a decent camcorder and get out there.\n  To begin with just practice filming random things and cutting them together (a good digital editing programme is a must)\n  But the best thing to do once you want to make THAT documentary is to PLAN PLAN PLAN.. know evrey shot and interview. Picture how you want that film to look and sound before you think about heading out to film.. otherwise you will sit in the Edit and think.. I shoulda filmed "this" or "that"\n\n  At the end of the day.. film making is an Art and a Trade.. there is no quick fix. You need to spend time learning techniques and tricks that can't  be taught in 5 mins or eveb a quick answer.\n  Best palce to start right now is watch as many documentaries that interest you and take notes.. right down the narrative ( how the doc is structered) what do you see what do you hear and how does this relate to the subject.

First get into an internship at your local radio station.   It won't pay you much, or anything at all, but it WILL get you a foot in the door and get to know the right people if you do a good job.\nAfter this or during this, you need to go to school for a broadcast degree..even if it's an Associates.\nGood luck to you.  Remember that whatever job you get, learn as much as you can and do as much as you can while you're there.  The more versatile you are, the more valuable you are!

Go to a school which offers a B.F.A. in directing.  That's a Bachelor's of Fine Arts and it's very different from a B.A.  You'll get more hands-on-experience with a BFA.  FSU is a pretty good school to look at.  Start reading books now about making movies and making it in Hollywood.  Skills: determination!
