One of my cousins, who I am extremely close recently, got her first break in a movie. Not a very big role, but a significant one for sure. It is a big thing for her as it is going to be her first appearance on in the silver screen. I believe she deserves this as she is talented and has the potential to be a distinguished actor.
Her journey so far has been quite intriguing. She had her minds set on being a cinematographer and she was pursuing one of the renowned cinematography courses in Delhi. It took her a good six months to realize it is acting she wanted to do. Her projects and assignments made her deal with actors and people of the industry. She figured out she would be better if she faced the camera, and not stay behind it.
What she did next took all of us by surprise. She dumped her course in cinematography, and joined one of the most famous acting courses in Delhi. There was a lot of problem in her family due to her fickle change in mind- but she managed to convince her parents that this time, it’s for keeps! She gained technical knowledge and other intricacies of acting in her course and graduated with flying colors.
During her course, she mastered the skills of modulating her voice, emoting through speech. Not only this, she was trained in improvising her movements and also in multiple dance forms. They were made to watch and analyse movies across the globe to enrich their knowledge about this art. She told me once; this helped her infuse her several important things in her acting.
Needless to say, she has been appreciated for her role and several others have approached her. She believes in acting doesn’t mean bagging the lead role; it is portraying the given role with all you have. Her decision to follow her heart finally paid off!
