My personal advice is to go to school first and get a liberal arts education, and then if you want to pursue acting, go to graduate school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would advise anyone seriously interested in acting to study, train, and work as much as possible... You will know soon enough if it's the right avenue for you.
Acting is a craft, and you need to study to be an actor.
I went to a very academic school that actually - when I got to the point of wanting to pursue acting, they just had no idea how to do that, because all of their contacts were very academic.
I would definitely love to continue acting, and I also really enjoy school, so I would like to balance the two somehow.
I'm very passionate about art, music, drawing, acting, so I'd like to have the chance to get the larger choice regarding acting.
Maybe I'll go to acting school. Acting is like boxing, you know.
Depending on what your interest in theater is, I always recommend working on plays. It's a great way to be introduced to the field, and also a great way to be seen by agents and representation. I'm also a great advocate for studying acting at a drama school or a college.
One of the hard things in my life has been balancing my education with my acting career, because I've been acting since the age of seven, on and off, just doing little parts and things. I've always been very keen to stay in school.
I went to acting school, but only for nine months. If you're an actor, you know, don't really need to learn how to do it.
My advice has always been to study the craft of acting if you want to be an actor. There are many great schools that teach acting. NYU being one of them.
