Do you consider yourself an actor/singer?

Singer/actor, actually. Not being snide, but I'm more trained and comfortable as a singer than an actor.

Yes, yes and yes.

It's what I do and who I am (though I teach music to the wee ones to pay the bills).

Just ignore my overzealousness.

I pushed send once, I swear!

I started out as a "bunhead" ballerina from a young age- and eventually got into acting and singing through being involved in school and regional shows- now musical theatre is my passion bc its a fusion of music dance an acting.

I'm really a dancer, but I sing also and have more recently taken up acting. In other words, I love musical theater and I try my best, but I wouldn't consider myself a real actor/singer. I love watching actor/singers, though!

I am a writer who loves the powerful impact theater can have on the mind. I can act well but I have no voice whatsoever (if I ever did, at 24, I really do not have much of a chance to salvage it despite not smoking or doing anything harmful to my cords). Besides, my passion is writing and thats where I hope my future in theatre can be.

I sing a lot in the shower!

I love theatre and would have loved to have done something like that for my career. However, I never took dance or vocal lessons. I've been in a few community theatre shows but I know honestly I would never make it in the big times. It is still a dream though. A big dream. Right now I'd love to open a dinner theatre, although no one thinks it would do good in my small town.

Singer/actor. I've been in vocal training for 2 years and I'm just better at singing.

I am more of an actor and dancer than a singer. I sing well (alto/2nd soprano), but I've never had any serious training or voice lessons to really tap in to my full singing capabilites. But I mean, hell, I'm no rising Broadway star or anything.

In musical theater, hardcore dancing roles are given to me before hardcore singing roles. But acting is really my forte of the three.

I also do choreography and would love to direct. I automatically have a director's mindset whenever I'm watching a show.

I love all aspects of theatre.

I couldn't sing my way out of a paper bag, but I can act. However, I'm a lighting designer. I've been designing lighting for shows since my 6th grade musical. I'm also branching out into directing.

I'm an actor. I'd love to sing and dance too, but that won't happen in this lifetime.

I'm a much stronger/more trained singer than actor...but my passion is acting and if I had to choose between straight plays/film or just being a vocalist I would choose acting. Good thing musical theater exists! Too bad I can't dance...definitely will have to take some "movement for actors" classes eventually. I adore watching dancers though, I think it's the most beautiful art form ever, especially ballet.

It's funny because I'm totally fine going into an audition I have to sing at, I love acting out songs whether it's legit, belt, comedy, or drama. But if I go in knowing I'm going to have to do a cold read I get so nervous because while I know I can act and when given the chance to develop a character I can do amazing things with it (it helps I'm also a professional writer)...cold reads I'm like, "okay...oh crap i have to figure out this character and give her personality and get the tone of the scene correctly, and aaahhh!!"
