In acting class, you're trained to express yourself as much as you can.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Training is vital. You need to know the technical aspects of acting, just in case someone hands you a monologue and simply says, 'Cry here and laugh here.' You have to be able to make sense of it all.
In most professions, you build up confidence and a sense of achievement as you go along, but that's really not true for acting.
Quite often in acting, you have to play a certain part; you cannot speak as much as you want to speak.
There's no trick of teaching acting. Either someone wants to do it and is gifted, or not.
One of the first things I learned about acting was, the only person you compete against is yourself.
Don't let the world define you. In the world of acting, and I think in any profession, really, people are really eager to put you in a box and categorize you as one particular thing.
When you act, you're always playing a version of yourself. You can't bring more to the role than what you are.
You can't learn acting through any classes.
Acting lessons teach you to really listen to what the other person is saying because in acting it's all about responding to the lines.
You can be in an acting class all you want, but you don't fully learn until you get off that stage and in front of a camera.
