Acting classes and
acting schools in Los Angeles
are attended by thousands of hopeful actors and actresses every year, and yet 99% of those
aspiring actors and actresses won't amount to much more in Hollywood than waiters and bartenders.
Everyone knows that to become a successful actor or actress you need to
have some kind of
acting training,
however it simply is not that easy. If you
could just take a few good acting classes and be guaranteed an acting career,
Los Angeles wouldn't be littered with the horde of actor/waiters wondering when
they're gonna get their big break.
But it's not all bad news. There is hope for those who really dedicate
themselves to becoming successful. It's just that taking classes isn't
enough to guarantee you a promising acting career. And if that's all you
rely on to achieve your goals of becoming a real actor, you're in for a
world of disappointment.
On the other hand, if you're willing to do what it takes to stand out from
the pack, you can achieve a life and career far beyond your wildest dreams.
It won't be easy, and it will take a lot more work than you might have
thought it would, but those who do the work are the ones who get the
rewards.
Take Angelina Jolie, for example.

Angelina made her debut at the age of 7, but she
didn't really start her acting career until she was 18.
In her teens, she attended acting classes at the Lee
Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she trained for two years, and after
taking a hiatus from
acting to model in New York,
she returned to Los Angeles to attend more
acting classes and workshops to
perfect her craft.
Even with all that, however, she was still playing uninspiring parts in
stinkers like Cyborg 2 and Hackers. And despite her talent
and her intensive training, she spent an entire half-decade playing these
types of roles and failing to move up the ladder.
Things started to improve for Angelina's acting career in 1997 when she began
to delve into the world of made-for-TV movies.
Her first major success came with the critically acclaimed TV movie,
George Wallace, for which she won her first Golden Globe award. This
introduced her to a wide new world of directors, producers and talent agents.
With new doors open, she got the opportunity to star in HBO's TV movie
Gia.
She also got to co-star with Denzel Washington in the hit movie,
The Bone Collector, and she got a lead role in the indie drama
Girl, Interrupted. All three of these had a different effect on her
acting career.
Her turn in Gia netted her another Golden Globe,
Girl, Interrupted got her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and
most importantly, The Bone Collector gave her clout as a box office
draw.
This subsequently led to a multi-million dollar salary, a co-starring role
opposite Nicolas Cage in Gone in Sixty Seconds, and ultimately the
title role in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, which made her the action
heroine that she's known as today.
She can now demand $20,000,000 a picture, she has the freedom to play more
artistic roles that will maintain her status as a talented dramatic actress,
and she has the kind of fame that will keep her in movies and adored by the
public for the rest of her life.
This is what it really means to be a movie star. Unfortunately, the vast majority of actors and
actresses out there don't know it, and they probably will never find out.
The Hollywood players don't have time to hold your hand and teach you the ways the industry works.
They sort out the ones with real potential from the horde of wannabes,
toss them into the mill, and hope that a shiny new star will form.
What you'll learn in CelebSystem is how to be part of that small handful chosen from the herd of
wannabes, how to make all the right moves to get ahead, and most importantly, how to maintain your
star status once you've achieved it.
