Is It Necessary For Actors Study Acting? Part Two: "Yes" 

For me personally, school is not necessary, but learning is. Learning will continue forever =)

Note that lots of the people in this video are also in the other video about saying ‘no’.

I'm with Viggo. School is not absolutely necessary but learn learn learn any chance you get anyway you can.

Like with any craft, you don't need extravagant training, you don't _need_ to go to culinary school to make great food, but it helps to get foundations and knowledge and _PRACTICE._ Same with woodworking, same with painting. Having a good teacher can send you far, but having a bad teacher can be so scarring.

"When you don't have inspiration or you're not inspired by something at least you have a craft that you can fall back on" Thanks TOM. I needed that. Thanks to you too for making this video.

Even though I’m sure I’ll never act, it makes me happy to know that my favourite actors are encouraging about how you want to go about acting if it’s what you want 🙂

John Lithgow went to drama school, is a shakesperian actor and gave one of the best performances of this decade playing Churchill. Study acting is *important*.

for actor theatre is like temple its so fun doing acting on stage

Education and learning are not the same. I think it depends on the person but if you really want to be an actor you'll be growing as one and then you'll be prepare to decide what is better for you

An what if u don’t have the resources to study acting

You have to love it which, therefore incites the curiously that makes you embody the craft. Also patience and being able to take rejection for years is crucial. Sounds depressing when put like that but for me this is whats required.

Exactly.

The last guy got it

0:39 David Harbour??

I wonder how many of these people would be in MCU for another 5 years

Drama school isn’t necessary, with the world of online acting classes and courses it’s easy to learn about the pros and cons of the industry without really needing to pay, I’d recommend you spend a year learning off these before you go looking for work, it looks good on your resume when looking for an agent but if you have a list of consistent credits of work that’s a good sign for the agency that you are putting in the effort with little acting training. A killer reel and headshot is also a great thing to have, if those look amazing then an agency might be happy to take a chance with you just with that and some work credits. It could take a few years to find an agent who would love to represent you so over those years if you have the money to attend an acting workshop I recommend it just to pad your resume. Some people work first then train Some work constantly and don’t train. Some people learn on the job. An agency won’t sign you without work experience so you’ll have plenty of time to learn on the job.

It's safe to state that no one knows what they're talking about apparently because the same people that said no also said yes

Can someone from Mozambique and Portugal get into hollywood?

Can a person from nepal get into hollywood?

How do you study acting ?
