Basically, because I suddenly realised I wanted to make theatre not be in it.
I started helping out backstage on a couple small School productions and very quickly realised that I loved it. One of the worse things about acting is that you can never see the work in progress or the final piece. With technical theatre you can have an input in all levels of a production and then be able to see the finished result cannot compare to acting. Actors are almost always just puppets, and I hated that. There were so many moments while I was acting that I wanted to change parts of the set, or mention something to the Director, and I would normally be pushed aside and not listened to. However, once you start working on the productions themselves, you are always listened to.I can't say that I don't miss acting, but this is mainly because I want to yell at the actors for doing stuff wrong and then I usually just tell the director and he/she sorts it out.
thats mean
ReplyDeleteIt is.... Acting is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI don't think acting is horrible and you don't get an input. It's just you have see the way the director is seeing and really just get into it, yes there might be things that you want to/think should change but that's probably most likely is how he/she wants it. But then again there are times you would like to tell him your opinions. But over all acting is great because you are the one bring the audience into the movie and making them feel what the characters are feeling. I believe acting is Great and Awsome. And if you like being backstage to help that's also nice too cuz you can't have a movie w/out support.
