The key Fundamental Skills you need to be a Successful Actor
1. Acting Technique: A sound foundation in the craft of acting is essential to becoming a successful actor. Actors should understand the fundamentals of acting technique, including the principles of Stanislavski, improvisation, script analysis and character development.
2. Mesmorising words: Actors must be able to commit lines to memory and internalize them. They should also be able to make use of prompts and cues, as well as understand how best to stay in character.
3. Physicality: Learning how to use your body as an actor is key to bringing a character to life. This may include physical characterisation, movement and gestures, expressions, posture and more.
4. Rehearsal Etiquette: Knowing how to take direction and work in a rehearsed environment is essential to any actor’s success on stage or on camera.
5. Speech and Voice: This includes diction, pronunciation, projection, emphatic delivery and accents. Good speech, vocal ability, and the ability to convey emotion through language and delivery are essential for acting.
6. Building Confidence: Developing acting-specific confidence, both in and out of the roles, will help an actor feel comfortable and perform well.
7. Networking and Self-Promotion: In addition to acting-based skills and abilities, actors must understand the business aspect of acting and be willing to network as well as learn how to promote themselves.
