“I always tell people that, if you feel like you're portraying a character really well, you're not acting. If you can reach that point where you don't feel like you're acting, than you're doing your job and the audience will believe you.” PeopleBelieveCharacterActingAudienceLike You Author:Travis Aaron Wade
“What I discovered with acting is that you step out of your own personal life and you connect with characters that are not you and you try to understand their journey. I have three Chihuahuas, but I'm not a father. I can put myself in the position of playing a father on a TV show, by paying closer attention to my friends that have kids and by spending more time with my nephew.” TryingCharacterKidsFatherActingAttentionJourneyPersonal LifeNephew Author:Travis Aaron Wade
“I do these things, as an actor, that I would have been oblivious to, if I hadn't studied acting. You start to understand the emotions and feelings, as close as you can get to them. That really helps. Acting literally saved my life. It helped me not become one of the statistics of all the military members taking their lives because of depression and PTSD.” HelpingFeelingsActingEmotionMilitaryOblivious Author:Travis Aaron Wade
“Anytime I get an acting role, I find a way to learn about something new, or heal a part of my life that I didn't know was hurting. I think anybody could benefit from taking acting classes. You don't necessarily have to want to be an actor or pursue the acting business. But just taking an acting class, you're going to learn so much about life and what it's like to walk in somebody else's shoes. It helps you stop judging people. It does something to you where you become empathetic to people's plights and journeys, and it makes you a little more understanding and caring.” PeopleThinkingHelpingUnderstandingHurtActingJourneyJudgingCaringHealSomething NewEmpathetic Author:Travis Aaron Wade
