Hi! I am absolutely new to the subject of Performance Arts. I have no experience whatsoever in this subject but I would love to perform on stage one day. I have a few questions regarding theatrical performances. 1. Can you become a stage actor without any training? 2. If training is needed, then can anyone recommend a good school to learn Performance Arts? 3. Is it too late to learn this when you are almost 30? Thank you!

In return

1. Can you become a stage actor without any training? Yes if you mean FORMAL training. Training does help, a lot, but some can get away with just learning "on-the-job" so to speak.

2. If training is needed, then can anyone recommend a good school to learn Performance Arts? Depends on Where you are and What you want to learn. There are many schools with various focuses across the country.

3. Is it too late to learn this when you are almost 30? No. Never too late. Seriously.

Case Example

Not a problem. Happy to help. As a case example, I am nearly 40, been doing theatre for about 18 years and have just stepped into the wider world of film. Never too late.
