Take acting classes


6. Take acting classes.
Reading plays, learning lines and acting out scenes with other actors helps enormously to cultivate communication skills. These exercises demand concentration; they improve memory, and require a wide range of vocal expression as well as body language. Learning to relate to other people on stage provides practice in eye contact and encourages a range of emotions to be expressed. Rehearsing and delivering the exact lines of a play as the playwright intended is an invaluable discipline. This priceless experience will nurture your talent, boost your confidence and equip you with know-how that will last a lifetime.
7. Join a dance class.
To use the body effectively when expressing ideas or feelings, you must have control of it. Modern dance and ballet teach discipline. There must be no wasted motion. Every professional actor at one time or another takes dance classes. Even athletes are often found alongside ballerinas studying to strengthen their legs, add dexterity, and gain ease of movement.
8. Get voice training.
Speaking to audiences frequently requires a strong, healthy voice; one that will stand up with constant use and won’t break down when a cold or virus strikes and you must work. Knowing how to use the voice properly is just one more tool to help communicate effectively. These basic techniques are learned from a competent voice coach. Get one.
