Is Acting Really A 'Horrible Profession'? by Seun(m): 12:25pm On Dec 06, 2007 |
The more I learn about acting, the more it seems like a profession I'll never advice anyone to go into professionally. Which is very ironic, since as a producer I can't get anything done without actors! "A well-known Hollywood Writer":He goes on to explain how almost every movie star has strong connections (i.e. parents in the business). My beef with acting as a profession: - The hot movie lights, sunlight and though conditions under which actors have to labor. - Your success depends on things you can't control: luck, your looks, and more luck. - You never know when or where your next job is going to come from. It's all random. - You don't own the words you're required to speak. You just memorize and perform. What do you guys think? Is acting a vocation that's best pursued as a hobby, and not as a profession? 1 Like |

I don't think its a horrible profession. . .if you want something bad, you have to sacrifice and suffer (sometimes) for it. I think its just great how people get to transform themselves into different believable characters |

in my own opinion i think what makes the profession horrible are the scandals and horrible news we hear about the actors(male and female) and sadly that most of them don't practice the good characters they ACT some times. And lastly the fact that you must have some kind of strong connections to be successful in the business, i think that's horrible; everybody should be given equal chances. Acting can be a hobby but it should be more of a profession that's why you can study it at the university. |
