Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Does this make me a good actress?


Question:I've been to many camps, and have been in some tv shows and movies. But i always wanted to know if i was good. Because when i started out..i had not one piece of experience.

Then my agent told me that i was such a natural actor, and thats why i didn't need all the experience because you do it like it's pouring milk (yah she said that haha).

So is being a natural actor with no experience make me a good actor?

Hey Rachel W!
Well im thinking that if you have an agent, have been in films and tv than you should be good, yes!
Try to make more opportunities to get experiance, even by going to little workshops anything to improve your talent. Also i hinks its not too often someone gets work with not alot of experiance, maybe you have something good !!
Your agent seems to really believe in you, which is good because it can get you far, but also dont always depend on their sweet words because they might be tryign to hold you back with them, if more opportunites come along ( if that makes sense!!?)

In conclusion you seem to know what you are doing and yes you probably do have talent!

Good Day !!

M.Q

PS---
If you dont mind me asking, how did you get an agent? and what did you have to do ( meet them in person, by tape, what did u perform for them , what monologues...ect)Also what movies were you in and what tv show, thats really cool!! (what are auditions like?) SORRY!! i know i shouldnt be asking, but its really good that you are in that field and working ..im soo curious!!

Good, yes. Learning and experience will make you a "Great" actor.

an experienced actor aims to be natural , then if you are natural this mean youve reached the goal with your talent and not experience and thats great.

It's sounds like you are a good actress. I mean hey, a few tv shows and movies + an agent is more than a lot of actors can say they've done. Besides, acting is a talent that you're born with, so being a natural actor/actress just means that you know how to use your abilities to your advantage, and you don't need to be taught how to use them[unlike most people,so congrats!].

Also, I'm just curious, how old were you when you started acting?

You probably won't know that until you get a Golden Globe nomination or you can watch yourself and not be critical.

When you can look at yourself and say "yeah, I did that right and I'd do it like that again" you have a handle on what you're doing.

When you look at it and say "I know what I'd do next time" then it means you're still honing your craft, which is good, but not great.
