Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You don't have to major in theatre to become an actor, but at many colleges and universities, theatre majors are more likely to get roles in the theatre department's plays, and thus to get more valuable stage experience!. As with any other art -- painting, writing, etc!. -- actors start with some innate talent and develop it to a professional level through lots of hard work!. Theatre majors may have more opportunities than others to do the necessary work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You do normally have to have a certain amount of knowledge in theatre in order to do well with acting!. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to major in that, but you do have to at least minor in that area in order to have enough knowledge and experience in order to know a lot of the things that they require in the theatre and communications area!. Say for instance you want to major in biology, you can do that and then minor in theatre, but a lot of these more exprienced actors they would like to see something from a school even if it is just a diploma in theatre!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

when i first went to the school i'm going to now, i thought of getting a theatre major!. i changed it to broadcast comm-well i didn't really change or have a major because i'm only taking basic math,science,reading classes now, but interestingly enough i found your question=and i wondered why u said comm or theatre!. i didnt know there was a link-well yeah there is but!. whatever!. anyway, i guess take a few acting classes but yeah-!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nope, those degrees are completely useless anyway!. To be a good actor, you just have to have natural talent!. You either have it or you don't!. Go on a couple of auditions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i would go to a school for acting and minor in communications ;-)
and you can learn it, and it is a talent!. Only the good actors/actresses have talent!.!.!.but everyone can act when they learn howWww@QuestionHome@Com
