Hey There Readers! It's time to update.

FOR THE ACTORS OR WANNABEES

*Editors Note:

Actually, acting skills can be very useful in other areas of work! Filmmakers, are often actors!

I have heard that the best directors are those who have been actors, because they understand each other, for one thing!

Acting skills are good for a career in VOICE ACTING. It helps you in developing characters, strengthens you in the area of improvisation. It helps you master the understanding of a scene and aids in script analysis. It also get you used to READING scripts. These are just a few tips for wanna be voice actors! GO TAKE ACTING LESSONS! It is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

Acting skills can move an introvert to extrovert by giving a sense of confidence and heightened self-esteem levels!

(That's why I took acting classes in college). I wanted to stop being shy.

I was living loud on the inside, but not on the outside.

FIRST, I WANNA GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO AN AWARD WINNING Local actor that I know...MR. TONY LUCAS, of Detroit.
