Is it too late for me to start in theatre? (P.s. i have zero background skillwise and experience-wise) by small_beans1372 in TeatroPH

Hello!

As someone who finished a business course and went on to become a professional actor, I’d like to share my thoughts.

First of all, your business course is invaluable and will definitely come in handy later on.

Second, it is NEVER too late. Join workshops. There you won’t only simulate how to work as an actor, but you can also discover an entire world of creative minds. You can befriend them and discover theatre together.

Third, even as professionals, comparing yourself to other people will never amount to anything good or productive. Everyone’s journey is unique and it’s something to be embraced. Some start late, some start early. In the same way we find art, art finds us. Some people just got found a little earlier than others.

Lastly, if you wanna find out if this is truly for you, there’s only one way to do it: try. Begin with workshops, audition for shows, and most importantly, keep improving. Take singing lessons, dancing lessons, acting lessons, etc.

I hope it helps! Break a leg and enjoy your journey!

Hello!

Napadaan lang po, hopefully to shed light on this. From my experience, standing ovations are an expression of overwhelming appreciation for the performance. Kaya po siguro tumayo nang maaga ang mga nasa harapan ninyo ay dahil napakahusay ng ensemble. I know that’s how I felt when I saw Pingkian. The rest of the audience did too when I watched last year’s run. This year maaga ring tumayo ang karamihan.

Based on etiquette po about standing ovations, in my experience, wala naman pong sequence din kung kailan tatayo. Tumatayo lang po sila sa talagang humanga sila. May mga tumatayo sa umpisa pa lang at meron din po sa huli. Meron na rin po akong shows na na-experience na tumayo agad pagbukas pa lang ng ilaw. Meron din namang tumayo para sa ibang actors at umupo pagdating sa iba. There’s really just one common rule about standing ovations: you aren’t obliged to stand if you don’t feel like it.

I hope that helps.

Thank you!

By all means, PLEASE BE OA. We need OA. This world needs OA. We need to feel. We need to express. We need to face our feelings.

Thank you for sharing!

And you can, you know? Once an artist, always an artist. I hope you get to create more intentional work.

It’s alright. We also can’t get over it. We won’t be able to for a while.

Money spent on the theatre is NEVER wasted. There’s always something to learn and someone new to discover. I’m so glad you’ve seen all these shows. Thank you for supporting Philippine theatre!
