How do you know if you are talented in something ?

Question

How do you know if you are talented in something ?

In Maybe Dance, acting, singing, music, sports, anything.

Of course there's practice and technique, but how do you know whether you have the gift or not ?

Is it something that's God Given and something you're born with ( like modelling) or is talent something that you can develop with time, practise and proper coaching?

Answer 1

You are good at it....

Answer 2

Talent is a tricky word, in my opinion. Because the concept of talent... is hard to explain.

If you look it up in the dictionary, you'll see that it is regarded as a natural aptitude or skill. I believe that talent is more than that.

I mean... anyone can tell the difference between a talented actor, for example, and a sorry player, right? Why? Because the talented one, beside the natural way in which he develops a character, has the joy of being on the stage. He pours his whole soul in the shape of his character, transforming simple concepts, such as words, mimicry, sights, into amazing rituals. A gifted actor is a magician. So is a gifted painter, mathematician or even craftsman.

Talent is more than just a skill that you're born with. It is pure joy, a celebration of the spirit...

How do you know if you're talented? Well... I doubt that there's a frame meant to facilitate your discovery. When you are able to transform a commonplace duty into rapture you'll know that you've got a talent. Because you've transformed life into art. And that is the main goal of talent, isn't it?

Answer 5

tons of people get famous without being talented, and tons of people are talented without being famous.  hardwork and luck is the only thing that matters, talent just helps

Answer 6

I think the only way to find out if you're talented with anything is to try it and see what happens.

Try painting - maybe you're an artist!

Try singing - maybe you're a singer!

I believe that when you find the thing that just comes naturally to you, then you've found your talent.

Good luck!
