How to become a Thai actor
1st of all, I get a lot of email and inquiries like this. And my first reaction always is “You cannot become a Thai Actor, because you are not Thai.”
Now if you want to become an actor in Thailand, of course, that is possible. But if you want to become a Thai actor, at some point you have to change your nationality to become a Thai citizen, you have to read and write thai and sing the national anthem in Thai and live here for 20+ years.
I am pretty sure that most people that ask me how can I become a Thai actor actually mean “How to become an actor in Thailand?”
Becoming an actor in Thailand is definitely easier than becoming a Thai actor.
To become an actor here in Thailand I would recommend the following steps:
1. Take acting classes here to meet people and build your network
The people that you meet when taking acting classes are people that are serious about their craft and about their work. The people that I met at my first acting classes here in Thailand have become established actors in the Thai film industry and all have had major parts in Thai and international films. And we are still good friends.
2. Build your Network
You may build your network by going to see theatre productions of others, or by joining workshops, or even online or by doing volunteer work in the field. It is of major importance that you are pro-active and don't just sit by idly. You need to be outgoing. See and be seen. Talk to people, engage them. Listen and learn
3. Join theatre productions
Most theatre work in Thailand is on volunteer basis. It is not paid, or if paid, it pays very little. Most of the actors on stage also have a career in the film industry or are aware of other acting jobs. Working in theatre is the most rewarding work you can do. It builds trust and you learn for life.
Whatever you do, you want to stick out from the masses. If you think you can establish yourself as an actor by taking on extra work and hope that you will be discovered while being an extra on set, think again. That doesn't happen. Unfortunately, most of the time, extras are being treated very poorly on set. The crowd that you hang out with defines you, so if you want to be seen as an actor, being an extra is not the path.
You have to invest in yourself first. Take acting classes. Learn the craft. Set yourself apart from the masses. Build your network. Gain experience. In order to make it in this super competetive industry you either need to be super good looking or you need to be better than the rest.
You are worth it.

@@robinschroeter1can I ask you something ? I am a Sri Lankan and I need to become a actress in Thai , But I don’t know where to start , they said that I need to act for some Thai series , i need to go to Thailand so can I go to Thailand from the company I am joining ? 😢
เราคนไทยนะมาเห็นคลิปนี้ สงสัยอย่าง ถ้าอยากเป็นนักแสดงทำไมไป Hollywood เป็นนักแสดงที่ไทยต้องพูดภาษาไทยได้นะ นอกจากหน้าตาสวยหล่อแล้วก็ต้องเก่งภาษาไทย แถมถ้าหน้าแบบคอเคซอยด์ผมสีทองตาไม่ใช่สีดำหรือสีน้ำตาลเข้มก็ไม่มีทางได้รับบทนักแสดงหลักหรอก วงการบันเทิงไม่ว่าของประเทศไหนการแข่งขันสูงมากอยู่แล้ว เราว่าวงการบันเทิงในเอเชียถ้าจะไปเป็นนักแสดงประเทศจีนยังเปิดกว้างกว่าไทยอีกค่ะ เพราะเราเห็นนักแสดงไทยไปเล่นซีรี่ย์จีนได้ด้วย แต่คนต่างชาติที่เดบิวมาเป็นนักแสดงที่ไทยมีอยู่คนสองคน
ขอตอบคอมเม้นที่ถามว่าคนดำเป็นนักแสดงที่ไทยได้ไหม ได้นะคะ มีลูกครึ่งคนไทยกับคนดำที่มีผิวสีดำเป็นดารานักแสดงไทยอยู่ค่ะ แต่ถ้าได้แสดงเป็นพระเอกนางเอกไหม ไม่ได้เป็นค่ะ แต่บทก็เด่นอยู่ถ้าดังและเก่งจริง
Omg thank you but can I ask you something I am srilankan I want to join to a company and I a, just 13 years old , I am asking is it fine to have body hair even if you want to be a actress in Thailand ? 😢

Hello

I'm here cz of f4thailand and wanna become Thailand actress and I belong from middle class family I don't know how to come their 😌am I survived their??wanna be Thai actor 😢#from nepal
Save some money, take acting classes, maybe in Nepal, too. Find a job in Thailand. Come here. Invest the money you make into your acting training here. Socialize, meet people,...
Same problem

Same question

How to become Thai actor's manager?? please tell me😢🙏
Thank you sm for this video!! I have only one question left. Do you know successful black actors in Thailand? I get kinda worried cause I read a few comments saying they're openly racists... what do you think?
I do know some black actors in Thailand. You can check out Miickey Black, or Willy Zogo. It's not easy, but possible.
What visa should i get i lf i wanted to be an actor or model in Thailand?
I would start with an education visa first. They are the easiest to get and you can learn Thai langauge or /Muay Thai at the same time which are great skills to have.
Oh I'm actually planning to get a working visa (still looking for a modeling agency) but I'm planning to enroll for an acting workshop in bangkok, i can speak a little thai (currently im still learning thai language with my online tutor)
Can Indians also do that acting? In Thailand
Pls Suggest any school or classes destination for acting classes....???

hello , do i need thai to start acting i speak english and turkish ?
Hi, You don't need to speak Thai at the beginning, although it does help in the long-run.
I am Indian, can I become a Thai actress?
Would they hire you if you're a big name actor/actress in the US?
Sure, why not?
@@masterclassstudio5220 Even if you don't speak or understand Thai language?
