Can you be shy but still become a actress

[trmpldonagn]

Yep, you can. Are you enrolled in or taking any acting classes to break the ice there? Go for it. I know someone who went to a therapist in addition to taking classes whether it was to help with her shyness or fear of certain acting aspects.

Do you know yet that you can tap into feelings in various ways? Some of it can actually come from what things ly behind the shyness.

I really want to start acting and I don't know where to start HELP!!

[terry-heart]

How old are you? If you are still in school does your school have a drama department? If you are no longer in see if there are volunteer repertory companies in your area that you can audition for.

Hi, lollylegs_leslie!

A lot of actors and actresses are people whom you might consider to be shy in real life. However, give them a role and to be entertaining in front of people, it's like another part of them comes out!

I'm that kind of person as well as actor.

Thanks!

Hi scott, that helps. I am still in school but I don't know if my school has a drama department.What do you mean by volunteer repertory companies. Thanks leslie

[ScottGem]

In my area there are organizations (churches, community centers, etc) that put on plays. I would also be surprised if your school doesn't have a drama club if not a drama dept. If it doesn't talk to someone in the arts or music dept about starting one.

[lollylegs_leslie]

I am interested in acting and the whole idea of filming but I don't know where to start

[Clough]

Okay. You've started the thread.

Please realize, that it's very, very late for me. So, I'm not thinking as clearly as I could be right now.

In what country are you located, please?

Thanks!

[lollylegs_leslie]

Australia

[Clough]

Okay. I'm in the Central part of the U.S. It's nearly 4:30 A.M. here. I'm fading fast...

Do you sing and do you dance, please?

[lollylegs_leslie]

No I can't relly sing that well I did dancing when I was little but that is all

[Clough]

If you really want to get into acting, then being able to sing and dance will open up even more possibilities for you.

Do you have music and drama at the school that you attend?

[lollylegs_leslie]

Yeah but I more into acting not musical theretr

[Clough]

Singing and dancing isn't just for the musical theater for actors and actresses.

Think of some of the most famous actors and actresses and what they can or could do on the stage and/or in a movie.

Can't or couldn't a lot of them also sing and dance?

[lollylegs_leslie]

What do you mean

[Clough]

More serious plays and comedies that involve the most accomplished actors and actresses will frequently have, not all the time and not in all of the productions, some singing and simple dancing in the productions.

Frequently, those types of organizations that do those productions have the name Guild as part of the name.

To be a well-rounded actress, available for a variety of roles where you might make some income, it's good to be open to as many types of acting as you can.

Some actors and actresses do specialize, but in order to work, they sometimes need to branch out.

A question that I've already asked:

Do you have music and drama at the school that you attend?
