"In this clip on how to audition for a Broadway play, I'm going to be, talk about the importance of getting a theater education. Whether you take a class in the university or a class in high school or a class, a random class at a school, or whether you really go to, and get a masters in theater in acting, it doesn't really matter what you do as long as you do it, and you seek out teachers who inspire you, who have some credentials, and who are talented teachers. Don't just take one, from one teacher, take a lot, you need training. Acting may look easy but it's hard to know what you look like from the outside in, you may feel like, 'Oh, I'm really acting,' but you might be overacting or you might be under acting or you might have a lisp, or you've like no idea, and you really need, you need experience working with other actors and doing scenes. You need exp, you need teachers to guide you and give you that feedback, that outside eye. You need training, you need an education, take private coaches, take classes, take it in school, get a degree in it or just take a random course however you do it, do it, do it lots, do it all the time and never stop."
