acting


Question Posted Friday July 13 2007, 4:15 pm

I want to be an actress but the problem is I cant sing. I'm not so sure what to do. And usually to act you also need a little singing skill. Any advice? Also I'm not aloud to take singing lessons I already take ot many dance classes. Any acting tips also? thanks!!!!!=]

It depends on what kind of acting you're planning on going into.

For film/tv acting you usually don't need any talent- just a pretty face and you have to be able to read! (no offense or anything)

for acting in straight plays (not musicals) there really is not any singing skill needed, you just have to be a good actress.

but for musicals on the other hand, you do need a heck of a lot of singing skill.


so the first two types of acting would be fine for you as long as you can act!

well you dont have to be able to sing if you want to be an actress. look at many current actresses. most of them can't sing. so don't worry about singing. i would just take a lot of acting classes. hope this helps!

i really want to be an actress myself but im totally not a good singer, and like u i have dance so i cant take singing lessons. But i realized that not alot shows or movies have people singing, and if you are still a little uneasy about it why dont you take choir or something. And maybe if you get a part they might give you lessons if you need it.
hope i helped
and good luck :]

My favorite scene in the Transformers was then Shia and Megan break out into song with the Transformers symphony right at the end, and lest we forget in Casino Royal when the bad guys start to sing about their hate for James Bond.

No, you don't need to sing to be an actor. Most movies with people singing in them, unless you can actually sing (which you just said you can't), are lip-synced. I suggest getting good at lip-syncing.

You don't have to be able to sing to be an actress, unless you want to do broadway. If you go to an audition they won't ask you to sing, unless the part you are auditioning for requires that you are able to sing.
