Is acting hard?

Question

lol...

Just wondering I'm thinking about being a drama major in college

Answer 1

Yes it is.

It takes out a lot time and effort. Just having to let out a certain emotion on a script you just read and making it real to yourself and to the audience a very difficult job.

Answer 2

well, i have very little experience,but i do have some...i think it is kinda hard because in funny scenes u cant laugh and u have to study lines, but other than that, i believe it is pretty fun and easy....just takes practice!

Answer 3

it shouldn't matter how easy or difficult a job is... if you truely love it that wont bother you.

But, yeah, I would imagine so.

Answer 4

Well not if u look at life differently. no. you have to be the character. talk, stand,sit, move your hands, sound like the person. I love acting and u get to see someone else's point of view. U get to release emotions that u keep inside. it is fun portraying someone else completely not like u. u should give it a try.

Answer 5

Typically, yes.

Answer 6

Well, speaking as one who does it, acting isn't easy but it's not the most difficult thing in the world.  What you have to ask yourself is, "How much do I want to sell myself?"

That's the reality of the entertainment industry.  It's VERY competitive and very "clique-ish."  You have to be sure of yourself and be clear on what you want to do.  Movies, TV, theatre, etc. and STICK TO IT.

I once heard Carl Reiner tell this joke when asked "How do you succeed in the entertainment business."  I think it sums it up, perfectly.

     The duck says, "Got any grapes?"

     The bartender spits and says "We don't have grapes here, we serve drinks, now get out!"

     The duck hops off the stool and waddles out.

     The next day, the same duck waddles into the same bar, hops on a stool, looks the bartender in the eye and asks, "Got any grapes?"

     The bartender, irritated, says, "I told you yesterday we don't serve grapes here, we serve drinks, now GET OUT!"

     The duck hops off the stool and waddles out.

     The next day, the same duck waddles into the same bar and hops on a stool, looks at the bartender, and asks, "Got any grapes?"

     The bartender, infuriated, pounds his fist on the bar and yells at the duck, "I told you two times we don't serve grapes here, we serve drinks! If you ask me that ONE

     MORE TIME I'm going to nail your beak to the bar! NOW GET OUT!"

     With that, the duck shrugged, hopped off the stool and waddled out.

     The next day, the same duck waddled into the same bar, hopped on a stool, looked the bartender in the eye and asked, "Got any nails?"

     The bartender, puzzled, said no.

     The duck then looked him square in the eye and said, "Got any grapes?"

Answer 8

Acting is a gift or talent that is given to one.

In terms of acting itself, it's not hard and should come easy if one has the sincere passion for the beauty of acting.

Although, things like getting a career that pays money, gigs, things like that, are hard, yes.

You have to have a passion for it or else it's nothing.

"With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying."- Johnny Depp, the greatest actor of our time.
