Posted by: alka singh Posted on: Wed 16 Jan 2013Television has become the most demanding medium for an actor as there is much less time to rehearse and you may not receive your lines until just before the shoot. “If you have the talent, passion, sincerity and are ready to work hard, TV can be the ideal showcase of your personality and a doorway to openings in all sorts of new cinema, including mainstream Hindi films,” says Yashraj Jadhav, dean at Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares institute in Mumbai.
This profession also requires knowledge of some aspects of filmmaking and sound and light use. Acting is first and foremost a craft, therefore, you must constantly improve upon it. Acting not only allows one to play a character for a period of time, it also gives one the opportunity to contribute ideas to scripts, learn new skills or research. In the initial phase, acting often does not offer people financial security, but you tend to grow as more years get added to your experience. Some of the major production houses include Balaji Telefilms, UTV Productions, Endemol and Optimystix.

“At the entry level, a TV actor can earn Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 20,000 per month, depending on the number of days of shooting. The pay increases as per the job profile, experience and the type of roles one gets. TV actors with recurring roles often make around Rs. 1.5 lakh to Rs. 2 lakh a month. This can increase substantially once an actor switches to a per- episode package,” says Salim Arif, HoD, Actor’s Studio, Whistling Woods International, Mumbai.
