Answer 8

You have to identify a style that you want. A person, group, or company that really make you think "I want to do that". Find a way to practice with their technique (and i said practice, rather than study). practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way.  Welcome! Best of luck

the ability to p**p on cue

Answer 10

The true skill(s) of acting are using your body, voice and mind to take characters that exist on a printed page of a script and bring them to believable life in front of an audience for the time that you're on stage. The same is equally true for film acting.

That's it, in a nutshell. Anything else is just decoration.

It can take a few years to learn, a lifetime to perfect, and for some, it's a career.

Answer 11

the best actors are the ones who make good choices, the ones who truly embody the character they are playing. a good example would be heath ledger in the new batman movie. he plays the joker (who is a cartoon character originally) in a really fun and engaging way. that is skill

Answer 12

   No offense, but obviously subjective, relative, and opinion driven TRUE SKILL, as in JUST ONE?

   I think you probably have similar answers BE THE CHARACTER is one. Be believable would be another.

   At the very least an actor should most definitely be involved in his/her character, and engage to audience to be equally involved.
