In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The best doormats to use are flat ones with a low pile, but the typical, bristly/coir type of doormat will also work. Keep in mind, however, that the typical coir mats do soak up a lot of paint, and may require multiple layers of paint. The mat can be any shape or sizeit can even be a circular mat! The doormat does not have to be new. It can be an old one! If the doormat is used, you might want to beat it with a stiff, bristle brush or vacuum it to get rid of any dust or debris. If you don't do this, any dust or dirt might get mixed into the paint and dull it down. If you see any loose ends on your mat, trim them off with a pair of scissors. The best place to work would be outside, but you can also work in a large room as long as there are several windows open. Cover your floor with newspapers, a drop cloth, a plastic tablecloth, or several garbage bags. You can use either spray paint or liquid paint. Spray paint is great for covering large areas. It is also quick and easy to use. Liquid paint needs to be applied with a foam brush, and is better for smaller, more intricate areas. If you are using spray paint, choose something that is good-quality and that is labeled as being indoor/outdoor. Enamel interior/exterior paint will also work. If you are using liquid paint, make sure that it is meant for outdoors. Porch paint is a good choice because it is durable. You can also do this with a brand new mat as well if you don't want the raw material to show. To make it more durable, use primer first. Let the paint dry completely before applying the stencil. You can buy a stencil from the store. If you want a more unique design, you will have to make your own from scratch using contact paper. Keep reading to find out how. If you are using a store bought stencil, secure it now to the doormat using painter's tape or masking tape. If it is small, and you plan on using spray paint, mask off the rest of the doormat using newspaper to protect it.
Summary: Get a doormat. Clean the doormat if it is dirty. Set up your work area in a well-ventilated area. Choose your paint. Spray paint the doormat a solid color if you wish to cover up an old design or logo. Have your stencil ready.

In order to walk into any audition big or small, you need a resume and headshots. This tells the casting team how much experience you have, what kind of experience you have, and what you look like. When they're going over hundreds of resumes, the headshot helps them remember what you look like. A theatre resume is very similar to a career resume or CV. Look up some examples online or read wikiHow's article on writing a theatre resume. As for headshots, they're pretty simple. If you have a friend who's a good photographer, you just need to get one good shot out of them. You only need one set of clothes and a plain backdrop. However, you can go the professional route and get a series taken, too. If you live in a big metropolitan area, there are probably casting calls and auditions held at least semi-regularly. Most areas have newsletters and websites dedicated to their city's specific listings, though large organizations, like Backstage.com offer postings country-wide. The best way to find these auditions, though? Talk to people you know. An "open audition" means anyone can come. This is good news because you don't have to sign up and it's often lower caliber competition, but there's more of it. They're generally cattle calls. If it's not an open audition, you'll need to sign up and get the audition in the first place, so work towards those well before the scheduled date. You could swamp yourself in casting calls and auditions, but why do that when you should spend time honing your craft or making actual money? Have someone do the paperwork side of things for you an agent. That way auditions sort of land in your pocket you just have to get the role. And a good agent is free. Do not pay them before you land any gigs. They only get money when you get money. If they demand it beforehand, it's a scam. With an agent and a list of open auditions (or an audition with your name on it), all you can do now is attend. If you're auditioning to be an extra on a TV show, bring a bottle of water and some snacks you could feel like number 1,000,000 having to wait all day. Once you're up, all you can do is be amazing. If you're auditioning for a more substantial role, it's going to likely be shorter and more intense. You'll read off of a few other people and you may know immediately what happened or you may be held in limbo for weeks. Now that you're a part of the business, it's wise to invest in yourself. Sign up for acting classes at a local community college or acting school, get a dialect coach, a vocal coach, and hone whatever skills you think your future characters may need. Language lessons wouldn't hurt, either. It's not a bad idea to take directing classes, stage classes, or get other training that isn't your perfect idea of a career, but is related. This way if you come across a project that needs this skill, you have it. Then you can sneak in that you're actually in actor. You'll meet people in different realms and beef up your network in ways you otherwise wouldn't be able to.

Problem: Article: Molly bolts are the strongest of your options, holding up to 100 pounds (45kg) in straight drywall. A molly consists of a screw and a sleeve. The sleeve flays out against the backside of drywall to create a wide base of support. You will need a drill to install a molly bolt. Attach the bit that matches the size of your molly bolt. Remember that molly bolts create large holes in your wall, so choose your placement carefully. If you are using 2 molly bolts, predetermine how far apart you need them to be according to the size of your item. Use a tape measure to make the two marks the correct distance apart. Double check that the 2 marks are in line either using a leveler or by measuring down from the ceiling. If the item you'll be hanging has a wire hanger on the back, be sure to consider the length of the slack. You can test this by pulling the center of the wire tight toward the top of your object. Measure from the bottom of the object to where the wire catches. Keep the bit perpendicular to the floor. Use the same size bit as the bolt. For example, if you chose a 14 inch (6.4mm) bolt, use a 14 inch (6.4mm) bit. Place the molly bolt, the screw and the sleeve together, into the hole you've drilled. Some drywall flakes are normal and can just be brushed off the wall. Use your drill or a screwdriver to screw the molly bolt flush into the wall. As you screw, the sleeve spreads behind the wall and you will feel it tighten. If what you are hanging requires brackets, remove the screw by turning it to the left. The sleeve will stay in place. Place the screw through the bracket and screw it back into place. Line your item's hanging hardware up to the molly bolt and fasten them together. If you find that there is not enough space to accommodate the hanging hardware, loosen the screw slightly.
Summary:
Choose molly bolts for heavy items up to 100 pounds (45kg). Mark the spot where you plan to hang the object. Drill a hole for the molly bolt. Insert the molly bolt into the hole. Screw the bolt down tight. Hang your item.
