Take acting lessons, preferably at a college or university. Working with an acting coach or drama instructor will allow you to identify acting strategies that can help you summon or refine particular emotions, project your voice appropriately in a variety of dramatic contexts, and get feedback on your performance. To increase your odds of getting discovered as an actor, get at least five years of training. Read biographies of great stage actors, TV stars, and/or film actors. Look for details about how they were discovered and replicate their paths to discovery as much as possible. Additionally, read industry magazines to learn about the latest trends in your industry and tips that might help you get discovered as an actor. Write a blog post about successful projects you've participated in. Include information about who you worked with, your role, and the final ticket sales totals. Use social media to talk about your current or recent roles, and link to your homepage and sizzle reel. Always make yourself available for interviews. Don't waste time sending out press packets with headshots, resumes, and generic cover letters to production houses or theaters. Instead, send succinct emails to agents or to casting directors who you really think would appreciate and utilize your talents. Describe exactly why you're right for a particular position in your email. Be friendly and outgoing with your classmates and instructors at drama school, the directors and producers of your film or theater productions, and the agents who help you land roles. Charm industry professionals by laughing at their jokes, and accept as many invitations to social gatherings as possible. Make recommendations for other actors or industry professionals who you respect. They might do the same for you when they have the chance. When you meet other actors or people in film, television, or theater, don't ask immediately for help landing roles. Develop a relationship first and let them get to know you. Network with both aspiring and established actors. You can learn from both types, and either could extend opportunities to you. Generally, to get discovered as an actor, you'll need to head to a city of regional or national importance. For instance, if you're in the U.S., you could relocate to the L.A./Hollywood area, New York City, or Chicago. If you live in India, you might want to move to Mumbai. Or if you live in Canada, Vancouver and Toronto both might be good options. Other choices worldwide could be Paris, London, and many more. Identify the best area in your nation or region to get discovered as an actor, then move there. The area you move to could determine the type of acting you're able to do. For instance, Chicago and New York City are thriving centers for actors in the theater, while the L.A./Hollywood area tends to attract film actors.

Summary: Get training. Learn more about the industry. Promote yourself. Look and apply for roles that fit your acting style. Network with others. Move to the right area.

There is no reason to ignore the reason that you are writing the letter. It is perfectly acceptable to acknowledge the pain of their loss. Be sure that your letter is more focused on the loss that the griever is experience instead of the death of the person. Say something like, "I'm so sorry for your loss," instead of something like "I'm sorry that John died." If you have a personal relationship with the deceased or the griever it is important to also express your feelings about the situation. Let the griever know that the death of their loved one has impacted your life as well but be sure to bring the topic back to the griever. Try saying something like, "I was so sad to hear about your husband's passing." The griever will likely enjoy hearing stories about their loved one. This can be a story that they have already heard or a story that they have never heard before. This story will remind them of the great life that their loved one lived. It will also remind them of the many people that were present in various stages of their loved one's life. Share a childhood memory by referring to things that happened in your youth. Say something like, "I remember when we were young and we spent our summer days at the pool." Remember the deceased's personality and strengths by saying something along the lines of, "Sarah was so funny. She could make anyone laugh."

Summary: Acknowledge their loss. Express your own sadness. Include fond memories.

Find a leave-in conditioner that works best for your type of hair. If you are prone to frizzy or dry hair, choose one specifically made to handle frizzy hair. For oil prone hair, look for lighter solutions. Mix a quarter cup of leave-in conditioner with equal parts water and 24 tablespoons (29.659.1ml) of oil. Using coconut oil may leave an unwanted scent in your hair. If you have dry hair that is prone to breakage, you should moisturize your scalp on a daily basis. Gently spray over the top of your head to make your hair damp with moisturizer. With oily hair, make sure that the ends of your cornrows are also getting oil. Rub each cornrow individually and remember to moisturize your scalp as well. Using this mixture will prevent your hair from getting dry and breaking. Shea butter is another option if you want to use a different product to moisturize your cornrows. Wearing a satin or silk scarf will prevent your hair from being dry and helps maintain volume. Unlike cotton, it will not absorb your hair's natural oils and will allow for less friction between your hair and pillow as you sleep. You can also use a satin or silk pillowcase as an alternative to a head scarf. Satin scarves are also called bonnets or head-wraps. Satin and silk headscarves can be found at beauty salons, certain department stores, or online boutiques.
Summary: Mix leave-in conditioner, oil, and water in a spray bottle. Shake your bottle and spray your cornrows with moisturizer. Gently rub the moisturizer into your cornrows. Wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf.
