Sing for America is 4 weeks into its' Personal Training in the Arts course! One of the difficult things to teach as we have learned in our musicals is.......ACTING!
Great actors have been quoted saying how easy it was..............if only it was like that for all of us!
See, yes, I believe acting is an easy profession. I've been on sets and understand the all day all night taping times, the on set struggle , the sad life blah, blah, blah but really its a great way to make a living once we compare it to other jobs. The problem is, it's easy to do( anyone can dooo it) BUT HARD TO BE GOOD AT! Terrible acting stinks from a mile away. Even sub par acting in prime time TV and movies are easily spotted with relative consensus.
There are to many methods to count on acting and becoming a character. I'll share my two cents.
The next two weeks on the blog I'll share my course breakdown. Tell me what you think!
Major points:
(A) find your greatest purpose in performing and more importantly establish a moral compass and guidelines you perform within to fulfill this purpose
