1. No
2. > 1.
3. I like movies....
4. Oh great, thanks....
5. >1.
6. I think most important is, that you are really extroverted and selfconfident... If you can express feelings easily and like to "act" sometimes in a daily basis ( know what I mean ?) then it should be ok....

:D
 
I act all the time. How do you think I avoid groundings and suspensions? I learned it at home, when I was little, and getting into crap. Mostly defensive/evasive acting, but I suppose it could also be called "public" acting. I feel very good about being an actor. I act because I chose to not get into to trouble if I don't have to/can avoid it.

Tips:

-don't avoid eye contact, they'll think you're hiding something
-don't close your fists; makes you look nervous
-sit casually, but not too casually- you don't want to antagonize them
-always have a pre-formulated story and aliby

And most importantly, be sincere. Sound like you mean it—pour your heart out! "Prove" you didn't do it!
 
1. Are you an actor? not currently
2. Where did you learn acting? drama class / theatre
3. What type of acting do you do? (theatre, stage, movies)
4. How do you feel about being an actor? Currently not, but when I did dabble in the art loved it, but knew I wasn't really material, and even if I was, I was not willing to put my time in with off broadway and commercials...5. Why do you act? 'did' act for enjoyment, loved putting on a show, and loved the attention you receive
6. Lets share some tips and thoughts about what it takes to be a good actor: over acting is worse than not enough ! if it is theatre, act to the audience, not to your supporting cast'....and if asked why your so good, always say "its because of the talented writers.."
 
1) I have acted professionally
2) school
3)a few small stage things, 2 tv series
4) at first it was purly for the money (no at first it was because my friend who is a well established actor forced me to audition for a part i got) but i slowly began to love it, now I would class myself as an actorholic.
5) see 4
6) if your script dictates you to be angry (so far all of my scripts have done so) yell at a wall, your fellow actors and the director, make it up in the afterparty.
 
1. Are you an actor? Yeah, Kinda
2. Where did you learn acting? Amatuer youth theatre group
3. What type of acting do you do? (theatre, stage, movies)
4. How do you feel about being an actor? It's okay. I have my ups and downs. "Is it reall worth my time?" "Can't wiat till next production" Kinda weird.
5. Why do you act? Aunty takes the youth group. Done it since I was young and it is something different to what I usually do. Bit of fun aswell.

Good anti-persiperant is essential! Especially under the lights. I don't do auditions, it's only a small theatre so the directors just pick who they feel suitable.
 
1. Are you an actor? yes
2. Where did you learn acting? natural
3. What type of acting do you do? (theatre, stage, movies) pretending i'm sick / avoiding school.
4. How do you feel about being an actor? sexy. very.
5. Why do you act? for self benefits.
6. Lets share some tips and thoughts about what it takes to be a good actor, casting, theatre, the art of acting, ACTING IN GENERAL! never act like you're acting.
 
PS

👍 If you have a story and stick to it, it's just your word against theirs...and nothing can be proved. I got away with breaking and entering because alibies matched and the story couldnt be proven wrong.

I went to acting school when I was younger (around 11). I did a few theatre shows and stuff, nothing major. The biggest thing I (almost) did was get down to the final few hopefulls, to play the lead "The Secret Garden", released by Warner Bros in '92.

I'm Daniel Bundred I have appeared as an extra (walk across screen in background, look at road signs or shop windows etc) in a couple of very minor bbc programs and been payed very little (I'm classified as a child actor we get employed as near slave labour) the person who forced me to audition is called Harry Michelle and he is considerably more famous (and alot better payed) than me.
 
1) Everyone acts at one time or another.
2) Everyone else who acts (so everyone)
3) Real life. :)
4) Not that great. Pay sucks.
5) Dunno. Kinda confused about that myself.
6) Don't do drugs and stay in school. :)
