Is Drama School Necessary?
Thu, 3 July 2003, 07:57 amHi I've been wondering about this for quite some time.
Is it necessary to get into a drama school to be an actor? I spend quite alot of time training myself and doing as much short films and plays as I can so I can put my theories into practice.
I go to paid classes I try to do as much as I can without going to Drama school because it is so hard to get in, so I try to learn as much as I can through my own endeavours. I am my own drama school.
People who don't get in are considered talentless, but I think if you let them affect you like this and give up your dream then you have lost eveything.
How important is Drama School? Is it the be all and end all of acting?
Me I don't think so, I think it all depends on your committment and effort you put in, but it would be nice to be in one.
What are your thoughts? Experiences?
Cheers

Drama school isnt necessary and the acting world is littered with actors who are doing well for themselves without drama school. Look at Colin Farrell,he dropped out of Drama school and made it himself, keira knightley also has no drama school training and she is huge at the moment. If you want it bad enough then you shall succeed
