Ive had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
Film acting is so different from theatre acting, and TV is about letting things pay off and not winning every scene.
I've learnt that there's acting for film, acting for theatre, and acting for an audition.
I always had a thought about acting but it never seemed practical to take it as an option because I do not have acting or theatre background.
Acting in the theatre is fun; acting in film is work.
My tutor was a film director on the side, and she introduced me to film. She then put me in one of her short films, and it came out of that. That's when I fell in love with the process of making a film. After that, I was about 15 and I was like, "This is what I've gotta do." So, I started taking acting lessons, and then I applied to college to do acting. I got an agent, and it all just happened.
Acting is acting, whether you do it on TV, film, web, theatre or ads. It depends on the person, time and situation, what the individual wants to choose.
You don't have that interaction with the audience when you're acting for film; you're kind of acting in a vacuum. You're acting for a disinterested grip who just wants to reply to his wife about what time he'll be home for dinner. Everyone else on a film set is also there because they're paid to be there. They're not there because they're passionate about what you do necessarily.
I have recently started acting lessons in south France, and I intend to commence acting lessons at Rada.
You can take lessons to become almost anything: flying lessons, piano lessons, skydiving lessons, acting lessons, race car driving lessons, singing lessons. But there's no class for comedy. You have to be born with it. God has to give you this gift.
I had always seen myself doing theatre, as I don't come from an acting background, so that was my first way into acting, I suppose.
Why was I so single-minded about acting? Acting wasn't in the family; no one went to the theatre in my street. It wasn't encouraged in my school.
Acting lessons teach you to really listen to what the other person is saying because in acting it's all about responding to the lines.
I am constantly asked, 'What's the difference between acting in the theater and acting in film?' The only answer I can give is the space - you adapt to the space. But acting is acting.
I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.
Youth theatre isn't just about a precocious child that wants to sing and dance in front of people. It's for everyone; it's about a community, it's about being supported by your peer group. You learn skills - not just acting but all the other sides - working in the TV, film, and theatre industry.
