The Great Acting Blog: “5 Qualities Of Real Actors”

There is such a difference between those who have developed skills which they own, skills which have held up under pressure, and those who fake it with hubris and pretence, who believe that acting is a fluke or a trick.

People in the first group possess certain qualities: –

1. They are confident, they trust themselves, they know how to deliver the goods under pressure.

2. They are self sufficient, they can supply everything they need themselves. They have nothing to prove, they don’t want anything from anybody.

3. They have a sense of  truth, they act with a commitment to honesty and integrity.

4. They have solidity, strength of mind and purpose.

5. They have self worth, rational value built over time through conscious accomplishment, expressed in the courteous and respectful way they treat their colleagues. Very different from the fakers, who treat their colleagues like slaves to create the illusion of value.
