Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Truth is that some people can act!.!.!.but dont know they can!.
Or some others live in a world were they constantly being told they are good actors or 'naturals' when they are not!.

At the end of the day, i believe anyone is capable of taking a script, studing it and really try to connect with the ficitional character they are palying!. Its up to the individual how hard they work and what their body can physically do!.

Sometimes,i feel as if i am such as bad actress, then other times i feel great!. I feel as if my eyes dont connect as much as i want them too, and thats hard to do!.

Acting!.!.!.!.is just a game, isnt it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely, if you can talk, walk, crawl, breath, and do face expression you can act!. No matter what people say acting is the most easiest jobs you could possibly want to go into!. The same as modeling!. Basically act as yourself and also at the same time put yourself in the character shoes; you have to basically walk, talk ,breath, experience what the character is going through the situation and people would have no choice to believe youWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's all in a matter of opinion
My opinion is this: every one can "act" but the important thing is Are you good at it!?
You can have all the confidence in the world and STILL not be able to act as well as some one who has absolutely no confidence!. Acting well means getting in touch with your feelings and to express them as if you are in a real situation (in which you're not)!. Some people think that you HAVE to have talent to be a good actor, but i think that a few have potential and you can't see it, and others can learn the craft!. But being talent does come into play quite often!.

I think the reason that you don't do so well in front of your family is because you're afraid of being vulnerable to them and to express your feelings to openly!. You're afraid of what they'll think!.
I always say that "the Hardest audience that you will ever perform in front of, is the audience consisting of your peers and your family",
And that's the truth, you see your friends and family every day, and i understand it's hard, most actors have been there!. Try to get past it!.

Acting takes more than just confidence, it requires years of coaching and dedication!. Most of the people you see in films had been at it for many years before they got their big break!. Think of acting like music, could you just step on stage and perform on the piano without ever studying it!? But if you love acting, you can do it if you learn how!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

moreorless yeah, to some people it comes naturally, others have to work at it, and a lot cant be bothered!. But it does take some creative thought about how your going to portray certain characters, what movements and facial expressions you'll make!. just like any art really

however if your doing improvisation thats a different story, if youre improvising you have to be able to think of actions and words very quickly and keep the audience interestedWww@QuestionHome@Com

hmmm!.!.!.I do acting and trust !.!.!.either you have the talent or you don't!.!.!.you can still learn it at school , taking acting classes and the techniques!.!.!.but most are never as good as the natural!.!.!.and some others just can't do it! can't act and can't learn how to becz it is just not their thing!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The best answer I can give you is this:

1!. You have to study the craft!.
2!. You have to really want it!.

Not everyone is good at it and too many people who do it for the wrong reasons (to be famous, money, etc) clog up the business!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that anyone with a great imagination and memory can act!. I think you have to be able to really get into the character you are playing to be fully believable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As important confidence is to your overall performance, I do believe that talent is important as well!. Some people don't have any talent, and are therefore bad actors, and vice versa!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no you have to have the talent of being able to make yourself someone your not!.
you cant make a talent, your born with it!.
but you could make yourself confident & memorize the stuff i guess!.

so no !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you just have to put yourself in the situation that you are acting out
its really not hard you just have to act like you are your character
you have to do all this without being fakeWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes being confident in what you do can make a difference!. also depending on what your acting, trying to be your true self can be a big help!.

also make sure its somthing you love to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Anyone can act you just need to have the confidence to perform in front of others; you also need to be comfortable switching into different characters!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
