I never took any elocution lessons, no diction lessons. I might have been a pretty decent broadcaster if I had, but what you see, I'm afraid, is what you get.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.
I learned a lot just watching people perform.
I've always dabbled on guitar, but never took lessons.
My experiences have taught me a lot and I'm happy with my learnings, if not with what I went through to learn.
Lessons didn't really work out for me, so I went to the old school, listening to records and learning what I wanted to learn.
It was more fun trying to figure out I Want To Hold Your Hand than to take lessons. By this time I knew basic chords.
I really didn't even have time to get that many lessons, to be honest, because I was suddenly on the road. I was kind of thrown in the deep end. But that wasn't a bad thing when I look back at it.
I didn't really take a lot of any on-camera classes or anything like that. I really just threw all of my energy into auditioning, and I know that I basically just did things based on feedback that I would get.
I have been training since 8th grade, but it has to do with listening, more than practice.
I've had all the lessons I could get. I've learned from everybody I've ever met.
