Do You Need To Be An Actor To Take Our Classes? Not At All. Here’s Why:

It often comes as a surprise when I tell people how common it is for non-actors to enroll in our classes. Sure, we help aspiring talent to improve their skills and move on to red carpet success, but the reason so many non performers come to us is for the underlying benefits that the classes actually deliver.

So if you ever felt pulled to a class but aren’t sure why, because you don’t really want to perform, you might actually seeking the side benefits that acting has in common. After all, why not be like the actors you see on TV and movies? They always seem to walk in, own the room and the crowd loves that. Why? Well let me share it with you.

Acting increases your confidence and sense of can-do feeling. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a presentation you need to give at work, a social event you’d like to feel more comfortable at or if you’re on center stage in front of a listening audience, the in-the-moment pressure that these situations bring along can be excellent in helping even naturally shy people overcome self-consciousness. Acting classes rocket boost your confidence.

What happens from there is huge. Due to your sudden increase of self confidence, you’re no longer doubting yourself or feeling nervous when it’s time to speak. You’re fine being at the head of the room, all eyes on you.

And when you do speak, you do so eloquently. Words seem to just roll off your tongue because you’re finally in character and that character is a very confident you.  

This makes you magnetic. So people begin to come up and talk to you more. And you’ve learned to read body language and emotion, so when they share their stories with you, you know how to relate and they feel like they’ve really made a connection with you. This means more confident dating, deeper friendships, faster sales and a faster route to success.

You’re life has totally transformed and everything seems simpler. You’re walking taller. You’re finding doors opening and opportunities presenting themselves that you didn’t know you right for, but suddenly you are. Because life connects with the person you carry yourself as and you’re carrying yourself with more confidence than ever before.

And that’s why it’s so valuable for everyone - not just actors - to take advantage of acting classes and the skills taught within them. At the New York Acting School for Film and Television, we want to see people succeed in all aspects of their lives. Contact us today to find out more!
