I don't have a great instrument. I don't have the kind of ungodly control over my voice and body that great actors have. And I've worked with enough great actors to know that I'm not one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To be honest, I'm not really prepared to do a musical, simply because I think I have a pretty atrocious voice.
In my profession, I'm around a lot of people whose bodies are their instruments in one way or another.
Being an actor means being an instrument for someone else. I want to give myself completely.
I don't think I'm even close to fulfilling my potential. And I think also that, unlike a pianist or a flutist, an actor has an instrument that is constantly changing.
The main thing is the ability to control your instrument, which, in the actor, is yourself. Look the way you want the character to look. Sound the way you want the character to sound. Once you've trained the instrument to do what you want, you're in control, and you're free.
My voice is an instrument.
I'm a very musical person.
I use my voice as an instrument.
I play the real instruments. I don't waste my time with anything else.
If you're a musician, there's no instrument that can be withheld from you. If you're drawn to it, develop the talent for it.
