How to become an actor + Amin Tarakh’s answer

According to Fars News Agency’s cinema correspondent, Amin Tarakh, a film and television actor, said last night on the radio program “Prantz Baz” about his experiences in managing acting workshops: . While we hear, see, read, and know enough, Dustin Hoffman, for example, even when he was successful and known as an international actor, quits because he is not far behind in teaching and learning. He goes to university and goes through a 9-month or a year course, and there are many other actors who do the same.

He continued: “Because acting, like all arts and all practical and theoretical sciences, is constantly evolving and evolving, and in principle, a professional actor, if he has enough knowledge, will surely progress rapidly.” It is happening, it is lagging behind. We are witnessing this in Europe and the United States, and even in neighboring countries such as Turkey, there are actors who have entered the field of production and have gained a position, but they have been offered or received it themselves and have decided to close down. Learn, for example, at UCLA. Or American actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, who took two and a half years off work and life and sat in class. While he had become a money-making and famous actor. There are enough of these people, but maybe some of our friends and colleagues in Iran are making similar efforts in other ways.

Tarakh emphasized: “I think that someone who works as a teacher in the field of acting is actually claiming that a deal is going on between himself and his student.” That is, teaching is not one-sided, and in fact a trade-off occurs between the teacher and the student, leading to the surrender of both possessions and knowledge. In this way, we can say that we have friends and colleagues who are working in this field.

“For example, yoga is one of the exercises that helps a lot to the acting student, both in terms of breathing and in terms of voice and expression, but there are places in the university where yoga is,” he said. Are also taught in theory. While I believe we should move on to post-production, it is an international perspective that makes us a little harder to know and understand more.

* 3 An important factor for becoming an actor

In part of this program, Majid Vashghani, as the presenter, asked how I could become an actor as a teenager or a young person. Does it have a formula and an equation or not? History explained: You are much better aware than me that no one has been and will not be an actor by multiplying money and parties. It is possible that he has entered the field of acting in an exceptionally personal way – it is only possible – and he has had a relative success, which he wished to give an example, but in no valid cultural position and circle of this person, who is maybe 10 years old. Works as an unnamed actor or has other qualifications. That is, he either had a very special face or he had a very attractive and beautiful physique, and he also had a lot of intelligence and talent. I have not seen anyone who is not talented and has become an actor.

He continued: “If we are looking for a formula, I have always said that three factors must go hand in hand for a successful actor or a successful acting student to enter the professional arena; In the first place Talent It is important. Talent, which is not so-called teachable and acquired and is a God-given blessing, has someone and no one. Talent cannot be acquired by forcing money or even effort. The second factor Effort Is. That is, if one has talent, one must definitely try. Have a collective educational effort to participate in an educational community as well as personal efforts. The third factor Chance Is that many do not consider chance involved. In the absence of either of these three factors, the other two are not helpful.

“During the 27 years that I have been running the school, I have met someone who is talented and has a chance,” Tarakh said. For example, based on his talent in a film, he was offered the first role and based on his physique, he was given a role. For example, he was Mehrjui or another director and he was selected as an actor, but after ten, fifteen days of rehearsal, he was removed because he did not answer. Because he did not make a personal effort, because he had a voice and speech problem and he never sought to solve these problems. If a person tries and brings luck and there is no talent, he will not succeed. If he was talented and did not make a personal effort, we would have had a case where he was very talented and tried a lot, but that so-called lucky bird did not sit on his shoulder. However, some times it went for testing or was selected and nominated, but was eventually eliminated and did not succeed. So after ten, twelve years, he left and went about his life.

The veteran film and television actor added: “The fact that we give so much credit to education does not mean that everyone who is trained does not necessarily become a professional actor. Some may or may not be. Two people from a class of 30 may be actors. This does not mean that we do not have a school or a good school, it does not mean that we do not have a university, we have these, but the fact is that the three factors I mentioned are very determining factors, of course, other things as well. The curriculum I have presented, as well as the seriousness with which the student is concerned, play a key role.

In the end, Tarakh, in response to which role he likes the most, added: If I wanted to give a specific example, because I had a special interest in that role, I would choose “Lost Innocence” and Shoozab. I like this very much and I really like the film that I worked with Dariush Mehrjoui, that is, “Sara”, and the role that I played in Mr. Kimiaei, that is, “Lead”, was also an interesting one. I do not want to repeat it again, but my age does not require it anymore!
