Skills That You Need As An Actor/tress

I think that being imaginative is a key to being an actor, being able to come up with your own ideas for devised pieces, or even how you could develop a character. I think you have to be quite flexible in the sense, mentally, so you can easily step out of your own person and embody a completely different character. I think you have to be punctual, always being on time is important, if people are relying on you for shows, you have to make sure your there on time not only for the shows but rehearsals as well! You also have to have physical ability, if you are going to be using your body in all the physical theatre that consists in a play, you have to have strength  Finally, i think that you have to learn how to be off-script quickly, as you cant turn up to a rehearsal with the script still in your hand!
