slide 1: Role of Drama and Acting Schools
like Child Actor LA
There has been a flood in the quantity of acting and drama schools as of late. This
reality is owing to various factors. The primary one is the solid rising and
developing enthusiasm for acting and other artistic professions lately. This thus
owes to the celebrity culture that has taken a hold where VIPs who become well
known through such artistic careers proceed to make for themselves amazingly
enormous fortunes. All of a sudden we end up with on-screen characters artists
and even DJs who make more than even the best specialists legal counselors and
designers Surely today such specialists are relied upon to win more than the
experts - which would have been startling only a couple of decades back when
everyone hoping to make a fortune needed to turn to professions like medicine
law and engineering.
So much about the growing interest in artistic careers: because in summary that
is where the fame and the money is today.
But then something else has emerged - and it is this that is really behind the
growing interest in acting schools. This new trend is that todays artists are for
the most part made rather than born. The notion that an ordinary person with
the right training and persistence can be molded into a celebrity artist has taken
hold. If an ordinary person could be molded into a doctor lawyer or engineer
why cant they also be molded into artists What requires more training anyway
All this debate of course is in great contrast to what we had just a few years ago
when great artistry was attributed to talent rather than training. The actors of
those days for instance were usually people who had acting in their blood - so
that all they had to do was audition for a play movie or program series be given
a few acting tips here and there by the director - and get going with their roles.
slide 2: Indeed werent some so good that giving them the acting tips would have been
superfluous In short acting was about talent than about training.
To be sure even today when we see a great actor we are likely to say that they
are highly talented rather than highly trained. What has changed about the
talented bit however is that unlike in the old days when only some individuals
were said to be talented today everybody is seen as being potentially talented
just waiting for the right training to unleash that talent.
Therein comes the emerging role of acting schools.
Acting schools are increasingly no longer the places they were before where
people who were exceptionally talented in acting were taken to be made even
better. Such a model meant there were few acting schools and they were largely
bereft of students as few people could honestly fit the exceptionally talented
tag. Todays acting schools on the other hand work from the assumption that
everyone is naturally talented though not necessarily exceptionally. It is their
role then to bring out that latent talent - and with co-operation from the person
in whom it is latent turn him or her into the billion-dollar earning celebrity actor
- which almost every young person seems to want to become nowadays.
