"No matter where you study make sure that you work in class often, if not every class! Acting can only be learned by DOING! It’s tough to get a lot of stage time when a class has 30 students, so look for small classes! Also, make sure that you are learning a craft that you can ultimately practice without the guidance of your teacher, coach, or director. I have seen too many students who become dependent upon the advice and approval of their teacher and teachers who unfortunately encourage this. The best gift a teacher can give you is a strong technique that allows you to arrive at your audition, or on set, or at your first rehearsal, fully prepared to do a part with little of no guidance from the director. In this crazy business, the only thing you have control over is your process, so take control of it!”
