Two Year Acting Program | Sam Yazbeck Interview 02 | 917-789-1599

To be honest with you, I did not believe that an actor needed much training. I read a lot of books. I watched a lot of movies, so I figured this should be it. You go in do your lines. The other person does his thing and then when they are done you go on and do your thing. I would take classes and workshops, but nothing about it was organized. You go in one day. You are doing monologues. The other day you are doing scenes. Some days you are doing improvisations. You kind of just go in and show off yourself. There was no technique. there was no beginning, middle and end. You do whatever you want. That is what it felt like. You do something to knock the rust off. That’s what I thought training meant. It’s something you go and do between jobs to knock some rust off. Then you go back to your next job. When you are not working so much you go back and take an improvisation class, or you take some other class. That is what I thought training was. What I always believed was what separates me from everybody else? what makes me unique? Why would I be looked at differently from everybody else?
