ACTING

Perhaps one of the most thought of questions that goes through ones head in a lifetime may
be what drives a person to become an actor. Well, it could be imagination, a love, or
just desire to stand out.
When one desires to stand out they usually want to be in the light, and the stage is a
great place to start. Being on stage for the first time is scary and yet exciting. Once a
person has experienced this they most often want more. Usually a person of this stature
was always entertaining or performing for friends and family member, thy have humor and
it is most likely well developed and focused. Through their childhood they force
themselves to be noticed. They love to be "in the light".
Love, just love for the art can make a person act. The people who love the art are
usually the ones who care and understand it the most. Perhaps they can be considered the
scarifiers, the one who will do anything to make the audience laugh, cry, and giggle,
feel solemn, angry, and happiness. Their love for acting make them who they are and they
don't even have to try. The ones who love acting become their character in a
performance.
Becoming a character is tough, except for those with excellent imaginations. Usually
become actors because it comes easy to them, of course, their feet must get wet into
acting for them to even begin to see their hidden talent. Once in a theatre, imaginers,
if you will, are character in actors shoes, instead of actors in characters shoes. They
have high concentration that is not easy to break. In fact, most usually become their
character a week or so before a play.
As one can see, these tree examples are just a few reasons why people become actors or
actresses. I'm sure one could easily choose which example they fall into.
