I don't know if I agree with that. I used to work at a casting office, and usually about half of the actors that came in to the auditions completely sucked, and a lot of them would only get into the audition because they had great agents or managers. I would say only about 1/3 of the actors that came in were really great and had real, genuine talent.

Where did you joined this workshop?

These classes are scams

Agree

I understand what you're saying, so they are the best example of what he's referring to = marketability. Dwayne Johnson is by far the biggest and most talented businessman out there, and it shows.

Fr especially a lot of the actors on these ya Netflix shows(minus Stranger Things) and even nowadays with social media influencers delving into tv. I guess if u have enough clout, connections, and are attractive enough it doesn’t matter as much

They can act and they’re good at it. If they couldn’t, (weren’t believable, tense, forced, unable to access emotions, etc) you wouldn’t be seeing them in huge movies. They might not have the range of a Gary Oldman, but they do what they do well, and it is “acting”.

Hi Bree, perhaps there are artists and there are entertainers. I think each are highly skilled in their own right.

He just did

I know too many great actors that don't work and in most cases I would attribute that to poor business choices that they have made or haven't made. When casting has tens of thousands of actors to choose from, that are all talented, what separates them?

@@Studio24inc Yours absolutely correct about the choices of work that they made, ofcourse it's yet another aspect infact, altogether it's a talent as well to choose the right bussiness,script,apart from just being a talented actor. Coming to second question,what separates them is,, When casting has tons of actors to choose from remember they fit the part,that's why they are being called to audition or self tape,but now when you fit that part according to the casting. Call what separates them is how much effort and honesty had one.put in and it easily reflects in the character that a person is portraying for a particular role,who holds a command over the craft.,rather than a nincompoop who just fits the part because of which he's got audition call or whatever,he would fiddle with it because he doesn't know ,how to be under the skin of the character. And for Christ sake if somehow he's been casted,the in the series or movie,the audience would easily tell this individual doesn't know how to act,or he would just be another actor.not the top liner . So in order to be cassey Affleck you have to have the command over craft,and if you just want to earn a bread and butter then you go do anything whatsoever.doesnt make any difference. Just see the auditions self tape that the selected candidates, talented ones give ,one could easily tell he/she damn talented they know what they're doing.

why?
