The universe and all of history is your classroom

It takes a very strong and dedicated human to pursue a career in acting. After all, you are doing it because you love it. You couldnt imagine doing anything else. And of course, not many people will understand this. Some people cannot understand why anyone would want to do something with such an unpredictable future. But you understand it is you future, it must be.

No one might quiet explain that feeling that you get when you perform. One of the most exciting things about acting is that you might be or do anything that you want. All the worries and sorrows disappear. The stage is a very relaxing place. Its your home. You learn, grow, and develop there, as an actor and as a human .

The members of the audience come to be entertained and/or educated. They are living out their fantasies through your character. Therefore, your portrayal of the character must real and truthful.

In order to act, you must be an observer of life. You must watch people closely: how they talk, the gestures they generate, and so forth. You must observe and then be able to duplicate what you see. This is real. This is true life. You also must experience all that you may. This gives you more understanding and a broad area to work with for knowledge your character.

Try new things, knowledge life. Dont be the spectator, thats not your job. The definition of to act is to do. As Miss Stella Adler said, You cannot afford to confine you studies to the classroom. The universe and all of history is your classroom.

In show business, the first impression can sometimes be the last impression. Producers, directors and casting directors are busy many people . The deciding variable in giving an unknown (or even an experienced actor whose opportunities have been limited) a chance to read for a part is generally based on first impressions.

Its up to you to know how to handle yourself during an interview: how to be at ease, and how to be well poised. How to sell yourself; how not to oversell yourself.

To become the actor that you want to be takes loosing your ego and trusting in your teachers acquired skill to help develop you into the professional that you understand you could be .

Acting isnt about you; it is all about the character.
