 Re: Acting classes - how important? | |
I wouldn't say you are long gone....but I would also say that there is quite a bit to acting besides just seeming natural. Those actors that are great, like Vince Vaughn, still have to make choices when playing a part.
And there is a lot to be said for seeming natural under the nervous conditions created on a set. (Everyone is watching you, the camera is right in your face, and thousands of dollars are being spent for every second that the camera is rolling...so the time it takes to get it right (how the director wants it) can be pretty nerve wracking.
That all being said, sometimes people just show up and start booking work and make it big...but that's the exception, not the rule, and shouldn't be banked on. |
