The profession of acting has often been criticized. What many people fail to see is that acting in any form is a discipline, which requires dedication, focus and passion. Acting is a specialized type of performing arts, and it generally requires a great amount of skill. It takes formal training to get the most out the talent stored in the actors.
Acting is influenced by a person’s culture, values and outlook on the world around him. The study of theatre offers many intellectual challenges. It is so much more than simply memorizing lines, putting on a costume, and then stepping into a scene. Perhaps one of the most thought of questions that goes through ones head in a lifetime may be what drives a person to become an actor. Well, it could be imagination, a love, or just desire to stand out. When one desires to stand out they usually want to be in the light, and the stage is a great place to start. Becoming a character is tough, except for those with excellent imaginations. Once in a theatre, imaginers, if you will, are character in actors shoes, instead of actors in characters shoes. They have high concentration that is not easy to break.
In fact, most usually become their character a week or so before a play. Acting is full of creativity and the desire to break boundaries. The constant innovation and thought process that goes behind coming up with something new all the time astonishes me. Acting is not only about the glamor world. It is about real emotions, feelings and a genuine desire to change the world in whatever possible way it can.
