Theater & Acting - January 2007

How do you know if you have what it takes? Would taking a theatre class in college be beneficial in finding out if you are any good? What makes a good actor? Tell me everything you know :)

I would especially like to hear what amateur actors/actresses out there have to say, thank you all for your input.

I'm auditioning for a production of The Wizard of Oz, and if I do get a callback, I want to show the director that I can act the parts of the Wicked Witch, Dorothy, and Glinda. How should I perform my callback, if I am to get one?

It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but not something practical…so parents didn’t let me. Went to college…now have 2 degrees (BBA and MBA) working for major corp but not happy. A part of me feels I need to give that dream up…too late to start at my age. I know I would need to take classes and work a lot to develop my skills…but at 31 am I being unrealistic. I know anything is possible but really…can anything good come of it at my age?

Hi!

I'm looking to apply to drama schools in London to do a postgraduate acting diploma. The ones I am most interested in are Drama Studio London, Mountview and E15. Has anyone been to any of these schools? I would love to get some feed back on them.

Thanks a lot for your help!

heres my thesis:
In Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett does not rely on the events of the play to express meaning; instead he utilizes curt language and passive literary devices such as repetition and stage directions to comment on man’s bewilderment of his purpose in the universe.

I'll admit I like a few esspecially Wicked, but I am not gay. I have noticed in movies and stuff that people who like musicals are pointed out as being gay. Do you think it is gay for me to like that kind of stuff because I am not. I am afraid people will think I am just because I like a few musicals. But I feel that I am free to like what I want to like.

Okay, so I want to audition for a play at my school but in order to do that I have to have a song. The only problem is that I have no idea about what to sing. I really don't have that high of a range so I can't sing things like "Breaking Free" from A High School Musical without bringing it down an octave (I'm a tenor). So if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks for your help.

I am performing in a play, in which my character tumbles violently down a flight of stairs. Does anyone know of any stage combat techniques to make it look as violent as possible while still ensuring my safety as a performer? The play has a small budget, so there is no money for a "fight choreographer". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So far, I've found that Columbia Univ., Wayne State Univ., Yale Univ., Florida State Univ., California State Univ. offer an MFA program in Theatre Management, but I have know idea about the individual quality of the programs at each school. I would pick Yale, becaues of the prestige of the name, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're program is going to be the best. Wayne State actuall looks good, but that's because they will give you a decent stipend to go there and pay your room and tuition. That still doesn't mean that they have a great program. Also, I'm assuming that there are more schools that have this program, and I just haven't found them yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just decided that I want to do this, and I need to do my research fast, if I want to make the deadlines to start this Fall. Thanks!

I'm a freshman, with no acting experience, and I auditioned for West Side Story, the school musical this spring. I am a Shark, a sophisticated young puerto rica, fighting for the American Dream, and I need to have some sort of a spanish accent for "America" and some lines. I am taking spanish I right now in my curriculum, but it doesn't help with the accent. Any useful tips? try not to pick a type of speaking that puts too much strain on the voice, as the show plays for 4 nights in a row. Thank you very much!
