All actors, working, not working, newbies or academy award winners need an acting teacher. Depending on the actor, this may come by way of acting classes or an acting coach. But utilizing a teacher will help keep you sharp, fresh and "warmed-up", and allow you to continue to sharpen your skills as an actor. When you think of others that excel in their particular industry, say for example, the NBA league MVP. Even that skilled, accomplished, working professional continues to "practice" under the guidance of a coach (a "teacher"), or continues to utilize a shooting coach during drills.

An acting teacher will help you continue to hone in on areas of improvement as well as help remind you of the techniques that are making you successful. Sometimes working actors become comfortable and content with their abilities because they have successfully booked several gigs. With these bookings may come a false sense of security that the actor has the acting thing down and he or she may start to feel that any additional lessons may offer only minimal benefit.

An acting teacher will also help keep you discipline and focused on obtaining your ultimate goal. It's like hiring a personal trainer. You can be an great physical shape, but even a few sessions at the gym with a trainer will help you take your routine and body to the next level. (Sorry for all of the sports analogies but it's the NBA Finals week and I've been hitting the gym heavily recently in preparation for summer....lol)

Ask any of today's high profile, award winning actors and most of them will say that they still utilize an acting coach.

Regardless of where you are in your acting career, you can always get better.
