Background
on acting schools
'Being an actor' means many things for many people.
People of all ages, cultures and ambitions can be drawn
to acting, and there are an almost infinite number of
acting opportunities. Homes, schools, festivals, commercials,
theaters, movies, churches- at a basic level, all provide
opportunities for acting. Acting can take place anywhere
that there is an actor and an audience (even if the
audience is your own mirror!). However, this guide is
dedicated to both aspiring amateurs and established
professionals who wish to advance the love and proficiency
of their craft by attending an acting school. Your typical
acting school and program attendees are people who:
-
have no or very little acting experience
-
have no film experience, but some theater experience
-
are dreaming or are interested in pursuing an acting
career
-
have jobs in other fields
Locating the right acting school for you will-
to a large degree-
be based on your stage of development and passion as
an actor:
-
how much acting experience you have,
-
what acting skills can you improve on,
-
your areas of interest, and so on.
Locating
the right acting school for you will also be based on
some other factors, such as:
-
money-scheduling/time constraints
-
geography
-
proximity to the acting school, and so on.
