Well to start off acting is like any other profession/career that you may want to be involved in. It is going to take time, education, training, and a few other elements I will explain later on.
Let’s say for example you would like to be a doctor that is going to take a quite a bit of schooling, training, and education. A lawyer, this is pretty much the same it is going to take a lot of schooling, training, and education. Basically any professional career you go into you are going to have to have the proper education and training to be successful at it.
Now let’s say you get the proper training, education, and schooling to do any of these careers does that mean you are going to be successful? NO not at ALL does it. There are two elements missing in this equation for becoming successful. 1. Commitment; there HAS to be a level of commitment in becoming successful at any of these careers including acting. Without it you may as well NEVER start. 2. Passion; if there isn’t a passion to become a Doctor, Lawyer, or Actor how do you expect to be successful at it and continue through the hard work that it takes to become successful.
Regardless of how many films, commercials etc that you film an actor are ALWAYS a work in progress. There is not an actor/actress that doesn’t constantly work on themselves either through coaching or training. If that is the case how can they grow and develop in the industry. They can’t! You have to constantly work on your skills and talent. It is the ONLY way to progress with ANYTHING!!!
Training/education helps anyone fine tune the talents that they already posses as well as it helps extract and teach the actor/actress talents that they either didn’t know were there or didn’t know how to tap into.
It also helps them develop new talents and skills which is obviously what these casting directors/producers are looking for when they cast for a film.
So in essence what I am trying to say if you want to constantly to grow and develop into an amazing actor/actress you have to constantly learn by continued education.
