Steps You Need to Take To Be a Comedian


Arts:

You've finally gotten tired of your boring nine to five work and decided to become a comedian. You think you have that great talent that would make audiences burst out in laughter. For someone like you that enjoys humor, it's an appealing job. But how exactly do you go from an everyday person to full-fledged comedian?

The first step on your journey to become a comedian is to study the greats that have come before you. You can do this by renting videos of stand-up routines done by well known comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Study how they go about their routines and learn why they are funny. Study about timing and notice how every comic has a different persona. Being unique is the ultimate goal that could ensure you getting laughs.

The next step to become a comedian is to write your own routine. Write everyday about what you know and then put a comedic spin into it. Go with what interests you and what interests other people. Musical gags, celebrity impersonations, and the use of props are just some of the acts that you could do in your routine. Take note of having setups as transitions from one joke to another.

The third step to become a comedian is to train for the stage. Taking improvisational acting classes and public speaking classes can help make you a better performer. Part of being a comedian is your confidence on stage. Memorize your routine and run it with a test audience. Make changes to your routine based on the reactions that you receive from the audience. Also, be prepared for those that would heckle you during your routine. To become a comedian is to have a thick skin and taking everything with a grain of salt.

To become a comedian, you have to perform somewhere. You can begin by joining open mics to see how you are received. The practice you get from performing for different audiences can represent your growth as a comedian. Once you've mastered the open mics, you can now head to the big comedy clubs.

However to become a comedian that would be deemed, at the very least, good, you need to avoid some amateur mistakes like blaming the audience for having a less than successful show, thinking you can be famous easily, reacting badly to hecklers.

Remember that to become a comedian requires a lot of patience and persistence. Persistence is crucial. It's a hard road as it does not always bring in big money. However if you have the qualities for the job, you should know how to have fun along the way.
