Congrats! You are thinking about pursuing (or continuing your pursuit of) acting! Awesome you!
Acting is an art of expression. Movie actors, stage actors, voice actors---it’s all related, in that actors become characters to convey a story to an audience.
Actors are sometimes required to be great orators and public speakers, though not always. Movie acting often requires subtle speaking tones, and sometimes whispering.
Actors must take on different personalities to become their characters, changing their voices and using strong facial expressions to convey the meaning to the audience. On top of all of this, they must memorize their lines, when and where they come into their scenes, and some actors are also required to learn how to dance and sing for their performances.
It is an amazing feeling when you touch the hearts of others and make them laugh or cry with your acting. Even the applause at the end makes it all worth it!
To that end, we are proud to share with you this completely free online compendium of resources to help you get started with, improve, and ultimately master your acting skills.
On the pages to come, you will find a bunch of truly helpful actor resources, each answering a key question you need the answer to. We also provide a list of resources, broken down by level: beginner, intermediate, and advanced, to ensure you get the support you need, no matter at what level you may find yourself.
Where do the resources come from? Our members and staff. We individually screen every resource prior to posting to ensure high quality, and to verify the authenticity of each. If it's listed, it means a) one of our Break Diving members has used the resource and highly recommends it, and b) the listed resource has in some way supported the growth of Break Diving and believes in our mission (or at the very least, has not actively refused to support our mission). You can trust that each resource we list is legitimate, and has our Break Diving seal of approval. If you have any issues with any of the resources listed, please reach out and let us know!
