Doing Shakespeare certainly makes you a better actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Shakespeare teaches you how to act. You come out of this process as a better actor. It's just the nature of the words he writes.
I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.
The process of doing plays will make you an actor.
It does make you a better director and a better actor.
Anytime you get to work with an actor who is beyond you in experience and talent, I feel like they make you a better actor. You really bring up your game.
I do think that, for instance, we've been very lucky to have theatrical careers and be associated with Shakespeare which sometimes gives you a kind of bogus kudos.
Maybe they say they do but I don't think many actors really enjoy trying to do a Shakespearean play.
I think in any form of acting, you're always well served if you've done theater.
I think with every part you do, you become a better actor. I've learned from my experiences on that.
Shakespeare will not make us better, and he will not make us worse, but he may teach us how to overhear ourselves when we talk to ourselves... he may teach us how to accept change in ourselves as in others, and perhaps even the final form of change.
