Glasgow Acting Coach Recommends: Discipline and Graft

To me, these are the two most important qualities an actor can have. So many have neither and that scares me. Even experienced working actors have little of either, or there are those that pretend to be actors, they say it, but they never audition, they never take action. I guess you can’t fail, if you fail to act. I want you to watch this video clip and remember these are undergrads from a college in Oregon. How do you think they got so good. Discipline and Graft. Nothing less. They aren’t lucky. They are gifted, but the talented are ten a penny. What makes the difference is DISCIPLINE and GRAFT. Focus your talent and graft until you achieve excellence. Watch this video and remind yourself that we all got into this because we loved to perform, and if you’re going to perform, then perform the best you can.
