actors/actresses! how many classes did you take for acting?

Question

about how many acting classes did you take to finally know everything you need to know as an actor?

Answer 1

Personally I've taken several different ones, but I am nowhere near knowing all that their is about acting. I believe there is always room for improvement, you should take as many as you feel necessary, It all depends on what aspect of acting you want to get into, Improv, character (being someone completely not you), stage, shakespeare, film... There are so many different courses you could take.

Answer 2

In some cases no classes at all are necessary to know all you need to know. If you are effective as an actor without classes, find. Professional actors take classes as much to mingle with other professionals as to learn about acting, which is what classes teach. They teach about acting, they do not teach you how to be an actor or how to act. You learn how to be an actor from mentors like Brian O'Neil, Tony Smith, and myself and you learn how to act by being in plays and films. For only acting teaches you how to act.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as 'knowing everything' in Acting. It's a art, and you should always aim to keep learning and expanding your knowledge. A stale artist is no artist at all.

I've been to Drama school, and have a degree, as well as many other courses etc. I still have much much more to learn, that's the beauty of it, even the master is a student.

In order to know enough to be a good working proffesional actor, you need many classes, workshops and/or working experience

Answer 4

I had to take pantomime before acting and history of the world theater, then acting 1 and then I went into acting 2 and you audition for plays until you get a part. Until then you do student plays, take advance acting over and over, do excercises, train, audition.

I never really wanted to get into acting, I was more into directing, writing, producing and filmmaking but acting and theater is an essential background.

After a few years you start catching on.
