Part 1: How to Become an Actor in Pakistan
When a teenager watches a Pakistani TV drama, the dream of becoming an actor often begins right there — seeing the emotions, expressions, and fame of actors creates a spark inside. But how does one actually become an actor in Pakistan?
Hello, I’m Abdul Majid, Director and Acting Coach at Lahore Film School. My mission is to guide and train new actors who want to start their acting careers in a professional way.
The first step is training. You must learn the basics and fundamentals of acting — voice, expression, body language, emotions, and confidence. You can contact Lahore Film School or any professional acting institution to begin your journey. Acting is not just talent; it’s also a craft that needs discipline and consistent practice.
At Lahore Film School, we help you groom yourself for suitable roles according to your age and personality.
- If you are under 15, you can start as a child actor in dramas, commercials, or short films.
- If you are between 18–35, you can work in lead or supporting roles as young characters.
- If you are above 40, there are roles for parents, teachers, doctors, police officers, or businessmen — every age has its place on screen.
Once you complete your training, the next step is casting. Casting directors, production houses, and talent agencies are always looking for fresh faces. Build your acting portfolio with professional photos, monologues, and short videos. Post them on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and acting websites. Many actors are discovered online these days.
You can also attend auditions conducted by TV channels, production houses, and directors. Networking plays a big role — the more people you know in the industry, the better your chances to get noticed. Confidence, patience, and persistence are key.

Part 2: How the Pakistani TV Drama Industry Works
To understand how you will fit in as an actor, you need to know how the Pakistani TV drama industry operates.
The process begins with production houses — these are companies that create TV dramas for different channels. A production house invests money to produce a drama, hire a scriptwriter, director, actors, and the technical team (including DOP, sound engineer, art director, and makeup artist).
Once the script and cast are finalized, the shooting phase starts. This involves selecting suitable locations, managing schedules, and filming each scene under the direction of the director and DOP (Director of Photography).
After shooting, the drama goes into editing — where the raw footage is organized, color graded, sound is mixed, and background music is added. When the final version is approved, the production house sells or delivers it to a TV channel such as Hum TV, ARY, Geo, or Green Entertainment.
The channel then promotes the drama through trailers, posters, and social media campaigns before it is finally aired on television or streamed online (on YouTube or platforms like Tamasha, Tapmad, or Vidly).
