Personality
There are no limits to amount of skills one needs to become an actor. Hard work, the willingness to make a fool of one in front of an audience, dedication and the ability to take rejection again and again are just some of the key attribute required.
Acting schools
Two institutes that have produced some of the finest actors today are the National School of Drama and FTTI, Pune.
Reputed institutions that have courses in acting include An Actor Prepares where aspiring actors get professional training. These acting schools provide actors with practical experience as well as lessons in acting, dancing and action.
