What is acting?
Why would I take an acting class?
What are the benefits of acting?
How can I get started with acting exercises and classes?
I’ve been an actor since I was a kid. I attended the Royal Shakespeare Company’s drama school in England and worked in theater for years before I decided to move to New York City. I now act professionally in plays, movies and television. But acting is about more than just making a living for me; it’s about enriching my life. Anyone can benefit from acting, whether he or she decides to pursue it as a career or not.
Have you ever wondered why we like the actors we do? Why some actors are so much better than others? The difference between great actors and average ones is that great actors really know how to become someone else. They understand how people think and feel, what makes people unique and what we have in common. This allows them to play all sorts of different roles, ranging from historical figures to cartoon characters.
When you try on a new role, you learn about yourself by learning about others. You discover new aspects of your own personality and make your current behavior more conscious and deliberate. Acting teaches you about human behavior, psychology and relationships. You must intensely study the text of a play (or script) in order to interpret it correctly, then put yourself in another person’s place emotionally so that you can express his or her feelings
The majority of our decisions are made subconsciously, while the conscious mind attempts to somehow justify these decisions. It is a common theory that the conscious mind can only truly process seven things at a time. So if you have been asked to remember the last four digits of your telephone number and someone asks you for directions to the nearest Starbucks, it’s likely that you will struggle to remember both pieces of information.
Acting can help increase your awareness about what goes on in each part of your brain and how it applies to everyday life. As an actor, you must be able to process and react in a very quick amount of time with little or no preparation. These skills will allow you to think faster and more efficiently in every day life which will ultimately make you a happier person.

You have probably heard about the impact of acting on a person. It can transform you, make you a better person, and help you improve your life.
You may wonder if it is just hype or if it is true. Can acting really help you in real life?
The answer is yes. In fact, I believe that acting can improve your life by helping you:
– Express yourself better.
– Understand other people.
– Communicate with others more effectively.
– Find your passion.
– Take risks and embrace change.
– Face your fears head on and become stronger as a result.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was an actor. He was also a father, a son, a brother, a friend, and he struggled with addiction. He had many different roles in his life. His talent made him famous and his desire to act made him happy; it gave his life purpose and meaning. But the desire to use drugs also made him happy. It gave his life purpose and meaning too.
And so he became addicted to heroin and other drugs, and on February 2nd, 2014 he died alone in his New York apartment from acute mixed drug intoxication.
The cause of death was heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and amphetamine. The medical examiner said Hoffman’s death was “an accident.”
I had the privilege of working with Mr. Hoffman on four films (Capote, The Savages, Synecdoche New York & A Most Wanted Man), and I know so many people who worked with him on countless others. We all feel the same way today: we are devastated by this loss…but we are not surprised by it. Philip Seymour Hoffman was a beautiful soul who lived a beautiful life, doing what he loved until the day he died doing what he loved most — acting — at age 46.*

In a recent study conducted by the Educational Testing Service, there was found to be a surprising correlation between the arts and academic success. The ETS, who are responsible for such tests as the SATs, GREs and various other widely used standardized tests, found that students who participated in the arts were more likely to also excel in their academics, score higher on standardized tests and attend college.
Students who study acting often have better social skills, increased self-confidence and improved communication skills. Acting classes can help those with poor communication and social skills learn to express themselves properly, while increasing their confidence in doing so. All of these skills can translate directly into business situations, as well as everyday life.
The study was conducted by surveying more than 25,000 students from ten urban school districts across the country. In addition to finding that students involved in the arts were more likely to score higher on standardized tests and attend college, they also found that students who had taken four years of arts or music classes while in high school averaged hundred points higher on their SATs than those who took only one-half year or less (www.artsusa.org).
While the arts do not guarantee an increase in test scores or overall academic achievement, it appears that there is a definite
Actors understand the difference between what they do and real life. They know that whatever happens in a scene, no matter how alive it feels, is not actually happening. And yet they have to pretend it is. In order to act, they have to believe.
This suspension of disbelief is not just an experience for the audience. It’s also the actor’s job.
In the theater, if someone doesn’t believe something, it quickly becomes obvious to everyone else in the room. The director can see it on stage and feel it from the audience. The other actors can feel it too–and their performance will suffer because of it.
The actor has to believe what he or she is saying and doing is real, or else no one else in the room will believe it either.
