Porfirio Gartland: I don't believe that's true. Almost anyone can be taught to act. We've all done it since we were little babies Adults pull of the "bull" many times in their lives. Now isn't that acting and aren't we falling for it!?
Aldo Decurtis: Absolutely false.Read "Respect for Acting" by Uta Hagen. It's one of my favorite books on acting, and it addresses this exact idea, the idea that acting can't be taught.
Cedric Grimstead: False because some people are actually naturally good and some people get taught in like an acting class.
Adrian Sherlin: I would amend your question slightly: 'Great' actors are born that way, but acting itself - something we all naturally do on some level or another - can indeed be taught and, in fact, most 'good' actors have studied their craft at some point in their careers.
Donte Schoenhals: I would say that great acting is an inborn talent. But it must be honed with classes and practice.And, in the same v! ein, through classes and practice, people with mediocre acting ability can grow into ok, or even good actors.
Glynda Darrin: False. Some--a very, very few--actors are naturals. Everyone else has had to learn their craft. There are examples of actors who have started off poorly, then actually became pretty good. (Sally Field, Val Kilmer, Sean Penn.)And then there are those who obviously didn't keep up with their studies and just got worse--Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise come to mind. ...Show more
Lupe Sancen: i would say false. There is such a thing as natural talent, but to truly be a good actor, regardless of talent, you must practice and learn from others.
Nannie Kasee: I would say false. Acting can indeed be taught as long as the student is willing to learn, but having the talent does indeed help the actor. But I believe that anything can be taught, but having the talent to understand is a different matter.
