The best actors have good technique and exceptional talent.
Actors or Performers are people who entertain an audience by acting, singing or dancing. They play characters on stage or screen and work with the direction of the creative team to bring a piece of theatre to life.
Acting techniques, like projecting voice and movement on stage, can be learned and finessed, improving any talent.
The extra edge that extraordinary natural talent brings is something that cannot be taught and is what makes great actors stand out.
Great actors put aside their own personalities, and find humanity in even the darkest of characters. It is this portrayal of human emotion which is key to performing Shakespeare’s plays in a way that allows audiences to understand the complex language.
The ability to transform beyond recognition is another skill all great actors must have in order to prove their acting talent and set them apart from their peers. To be a truly great theatre performer an actor must have so-called star quality and a magnetic power to ultimately hold a stage.
Musical theatre actors tend to forget that acting in front of the camera does not need the large gestures and actions you use to communicate intention when you act in a musical. You don’t need to push with your body or use large hand gestures. When you make these large gestures in front of the camera, you’re overacting.
Musical theatre performers typically have some voice, dance, and acting training. Does that mean you need a degree in musical theatre to book a gig in musical theatre? Not necessarily. There are several ways to get the musical theatre training you need.
