How serious are you about acting?

Article by Brian Timoney

Are you looking for an acting school in London? Ask yourself these questions before you go any further:

How serious am I about acting? 

a) Pretty serious - I think it would be fun
b) Very serious – I can already see my name in lights
c) Deadly serious – I'm going to give it everything I've got, and then some.

If you answered (c) then you've passed Acting 101. It's not the easiest profession to succeed in and the most committed are the ones who make it. It's about dedication and hard work.

The next question is: What kind of training should I look for?

a) There's got to be something near where I live
b) A drama degree from a university
c) I'm naturally gifted – I'll get some small roles and learn on the job

I hope you didn't go for (c)' this time. If you answered (a) or (b) then you're on the right track. You realise that you do need training. But you may want to do some more research into the kinds of acting training available.

What do you know about Method acting? Most people have heard of it. Few realise that a disproportionate number of the greatest actors of our time trained in 'the Method'. Think of Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp. Only 1-2% of actors take Method acting classes, but Method actors have won around 80% of the Best Actor Oscars in the last decade. The stats speak for themselves.

What actors need is a training that will allow them to produce emotionally charged, believable acting - on demand. The elements of Method acting were pioneered around a century ago, and perfected in the New York acting studio of the legendary Lee Strasberg.

Like a musician or an athlete, actors need a training regime and a set of tried and tested techniques to help them achieve authenticity in performance. The actor's skill set is learned, not embedded in your DNA.

Strasberg devoted his life to developing his acting philosophy and a set of practical strategies to achieve acting greatness. That's the goal of Method acting. Method actors learn to develop characters 'from the inside out', so that they can deliver performances that have the real psychological authenticity that packs a punch.

Method acting took the acting world by storm, with Method actors like Marlon Brando and James Dean demonstrating its power to create acting excellence. It's had most influence in the United States, but you don't have to go to New York. You can find an acting school in London that will provide you with this practical training to enhance your career.
