Question: What characteristics make a good actor!?
Thanks :)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
From all I have learned thus far, acting isn't about learning to be who you aren't, it is about finding some part of you that relates to the piece and applying it in a real manner!. Therefore, a good actor is someone who truly knows themselves and is aware of their capabilities and is willing to let their guard down to expose their own securities/insecurities and portray the work naturally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

acting certainly is not fooling people!. There are so many qualities of personality that a person must have to be a good actor that noone could simply list them,!. First you must have the gift!. Then you need to be a good person, well balanced and healthy!. Well experienced and trained are assets!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

-Drive
-Motivation
-Love for what you do
-Being able to fool in audience into believing you're something you aren't
-Confidence
-Nothing that cannot be worked at (besides the first three)
