I believe that no one can teach you how to act, but schools do give you an environment to make mistakes, to learn techniques and to learn professionalism.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.
To be honest, there are so many things I learned in acting school beyond the method; it was a safe place to practice. So acting school was about exercising that acting muscle and doing it every single day - and having people tell you that you're bad every single day! Which pushes you to work even harder.
Acting is somewhat mysteriously taught. There are so many different methods and systems and processes for teaching acting because it will always be an elusive art-form.
You can't learn acting through any classes.
I've done teaching and things like that because if you're acting, you're becoming other human beings, and you need to have time to find who you are as well.
There's no trick of teaching acting. Either someone wants to do it and is gifted, or not.
I think the point to be understood is that we're all different. I've never been a fan of theories of acting. I didn't go to drama school, so I was never put through a training that was limited by someone saying, 'This is the way you should act.'
Just live life. That's the best way to learn how to act. Just live.
I don't think anybody can be told how to act. I think you can give advice. But you have to find your own way through it.
I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do.
