Comments John Flaus wrote this article with the intention of the target audience being actors or people aspiring to be actors. However, the very informative piece can be understood and enjoyed by everyone interested about acting and film. This information can be used to develop your skills as an actor, director or anyone involved with actors. It can also be used to appreciate John Flaus’s ideas and skills as an actor. It is important in recognizing John Flaus’s extensive film and acting knowledge whilst also gaining knowledge on his particular opinions about the field and how he thinks it should be treated. It adds a great discussion on his thoughts about acting and how these are reflected through his career works and those whom he has influenced. This text is particularly in-depth and offers a clear, detailed, and comprehensive treatment of acting, (screen and stage). Flaus covers all skills involved and obviously uses a lot of personal experience in forming his ideas and tips regarding the process of becoming an actor. The article is original and contains mostly Flaus’s personal thoughts and acting techniques. He has researched the topic thoroughly though and sources many other great actors and respectable resources. The underlying theme John Flaus puts forward is that acting is by no means an easy career, and is nearly impossible to be hugely successful. However, despite some of his realism sounding somewhat negative to inspiring actors he always says how much of a fulfilling and fun occupation acting is!
