1) Can acting be learnt?
The one question that always comes into the mind while talking about acting is, that "Can acting be learnt". Everybody has a different opinion about it. Some say there is no field where learning is not required, but some say acting comes in blood; yes this statement is also true in some cases but not all. Some also say that acting is not a mathematical formula that you can learn and solve. It is a regular practicing job. You can learn, how to express, speak, understand the demand of character in the scripts, emotions, dance etc. But these can only be learnt after understanding the basic concepts. Pick any character of any story, feel yourself as a part of it.
Sometimes, when you're listening to a story, some fake images build in your mind. Sometime you feel you are a part of the story. Your styles and habits are same. This is just in your mind. Acting is to bring out all these emotions and expressions from your mind and that can be seen by others.

2) How to choose an acting school
After graduation, the acting school you chose depends upon reputation of institutes, locality and main payments etc. Location is a huge deciding matter for acting school chooser. Beyond location, it is very difficult to decide without knowing anything about institutes. The extra coaching should stress on workshops and practicals as compared to wasting time in theories. After 3-4 years in college, many institutes are offering coaching classes and trainings. No matter what kind of school is being selected, few main factor should be kept in mind like institution's facilities (do they meet industry standards), faculty (do they have experience in acting industry), instruction (should be hands-on in small class sizes), exposure (does have contacts with industry professionals?), and worth cost. Finally, the school should be licensed with a reputed agency. No school should require bigger payments, nor should they force students to sign contracts before joining, but they should arrange audition programs for maintaining the quality.

3) How to network while in acting school
Good network is the best part of building career in acting. Always be in touch of seniors which is the best inspirational source for freshers. A network always starts with one or two. Start making friends in your school, then make contacts with your friend's friends, and slowly and steadily extend your network. A network is very helpful to increase your contacts. You can organize shows, acts; street plays etc within your network. If you can invite some recognized film-makers, directors, or producers to watch or judge your performance, it would be like icing on the cake. Not only you will b able to practice and analyze your weaknesses, but also you can get recognition from reputed film makers, after watching your performance they might offer you a role.

4) What other classes can be taken for a better career in acting
Besides acting schools to actually learn how to act, there are many more classes that can be taken to prove yourself in the field of acting, Like you can take up speech enhancement classes, An actor should be able to pitch his voice in various tones, sometimes, in a high tone and sometimes in low tone as required by the context of the story. He/ She should have a good quality of voice to portray his feelings. Secondly, an actor is often required to have a good physique in case of a boy, and nice figure in case of a girl. Many of the actors/actresses these days work hard to maintain their body, one of the best method to maintain yourself is to join yoga classes, or join gym.
