MAB Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm not sure that acting is actually a skill that can be taught, though of course going to a place like RADA helps secure work. One of my favourite actors, Sir Derek Jacobi, never went to drama school and it hasn't hurt him. He who laughs last, Lisa 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
