Becoming an Actor/Actress in Nollywood

Developing an acting career in Nollywood  requires an entrepreneurial mindset: a desire to create your own opportunities while working within a system where rewards are often delayed.

In what ways do you take charge of your own career?
"I've always known that the audition route would not be my way. I accepted that very early on in my career when I realized that no matter how much you prepare or how talented you are, the best person doesn't always book the role.
My Advice to all the Upcoming Artistes in Nollywood
  • Make sure you're in a class where the coach cares about you as an actor and not just your money.
  • Follow through on all contacts you've made, you never know where people will in up being in a year or two.
  • Be proactive in your career.
  • Learn the business of acting and not just the craft!
  • Keep your word and have integrity.
  • Show up on time.
  • Be professional on set and off.
  • Find a great manager and agent to be a part of your team. They work with you, not you for them or them for you.
  • Be flexible and able to make adjustments artistically in class and on set, in other words... Don't be difficult!
  • Don't forget to live in the moment everyday despite your circumstances.
  • Time is the most important gift in your life and put God first, then your career, then you, and then your family, friends and loved ones.

Thank you, I have recently been looking for facts about this question for a while and yours is the best I have found so far.

A satellite digital video recorder, or DVR, captures a satellite TV signal for storage on the internal hard drive and playback to a connected television. The signal passes through a coaxial cable connection to the DVR. Hooking up a security camera enables you to record an area under surveillance to the DVR, or simply monitor an area on a TV connected to the DVR without recording. Use a pair of coaxial cables with threaded RF couplers on the ends.
Items you will need

2 coaxial cables
TV or video monitor

Turn on the power for the three components and tune the DVR to channel three or four, depending on the camera model.
