"If you've ever wondered whether acting is work, let me assure you it IS. Acting is a craft, a profession, and like any other skilled trade, in order to become proficient at it, it takes commitment (to yourself, your dream, the process), dedication (to the story telling, to a work ethic, to a vision), pursuit of training (theatre, film, commercial, audition), years of actual use (there is something to be said for knowing vs doing) and some say a devotion to the dramatic Muse."
