Millions of men, women and children dream of becoming famous. From a very young age, many people are driven to see their name in lights and their faces plastered on every billboard in every country. And while millions of people dream of it, only an elite group of individuals actually achieve it.

Those that are interested in finding work in the entertainment industry have a few options when it comes to discovering fame. There are three major categories which most celebrities end up falling under: acting, singing and modeling:

1. Acting. Most of the world’s most famous celebrities have – at one point or another – tried their hand at acting. Securing a major role in a film can make your acting career soar to all new heights (just ask Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling after their performances in The Notebook or the entire cast of Friends). Getting cast for a major role is the hard part, once you’ve starred in a successful movie or television show; you pretty much have it made.

2. Singing. If you want to become famous, but clearly can’t act, singing is probably your best option. These days, you don’t even need a phenomenal voice – especially if you have a marketable image. Take Britney Spears for example. She doesn’t have the best vocals in the business but she is the most successful singer of her generation. Shows like American Idol and America’s Got Talent can skyrocket a person to fame in less than a year (just ask Carrie Underwood and Leona Lewis).

3. Modeling. Some of the most successful celebrities in the entertainment industry have risen to fame by stretching their long legs on the catwalk. Tyra Banks, Ashton Kutcher and Heidi Klum are all great examples of how modeling can make you a celebrity. If you have a great figure and a marketable image but don’t really excel in acting or singing (yet), you can still be famous as a model. Shows like America’s Next Top Model and Make Me A Supermodel have helped many models get their break in the entertainment industry.

If you’re not necessarily looking to become famous but really want to work in the entertainment industry, there are countless jobs available. Considering becoming a film producer, screenwriter, set designer, makeup artist, hair stylist, entertainment lawyer or movie marketer.

Becoming famous is tough enough when you live in an entertainment-driven location like Los Angeles, but it’s incredibly difficult if you don’t. Moving to Los Angeles will increase your odds of success and will give you the chance you deserve to make it in this industry.

We wish you the best of luck in your endeavours. And remember, persistence is key. Sometimes you have to be turned down 50 times before you’re finally given one opportunity. But when that opportunity knocks, all your hard work done will finally be worth it.
