Want to get a little face time on the big (or small!) screen? Here are some ideas to get yourself on television.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    If you are trying to get on TV, look into being a movie extra. There are always ads searching for local talent to play small roles in television shows or movies. Apply to be a movie extra and it may eventually lead to a prominent movie role.

  2. Step 2

    To get on TV, try doing something remarkable in your own neighborhood. Think small, and the results may be big. For example, start dolling out volunteer time with the homeless or initiate your own recycling movement. Contact your local news station and they may be interested in broadcasting your story, making you a temporary, small time movie star. This is a way to be on TV that is beneficial to others around you.

  3. Step 3

    If you are really aching for those 20 minutes of fame, register to be a game show contestant, or apply to be a part of a reality television series. Who knows, maybe you will rise to fame after a talent agent sees your glowing face upon the screen while you are deciding "Deal or No Deal?".

  4. Step 4

    Speaking of talent agents, why not hire one? If you are serious about being on television or becoming famous, you are going to need someone who knows the ropes of show business. A talent agency can help you get noticed, and alert you of television appearance opportunities.
