16. In which area would you like to improve as an actor?
How to Answer
To become a well-respected actor, you will need to have the self-awareness that you can always improve, and know what you can improve upon. Auditions are one way to learn these things. So is feedback from other actors and directors.
As you learn your weak points, learn how to talk about them and describe how you seek to improve. You may have recently discovered that your British accent is not believable, so you have been watching Jane Austen films repeatedly and speaking with an accent around your friends to improve. Be specific. Make a list of any areas you know you stand for improvement and think of what you can do.

"Training and continuous improvement are critical to me, as an actor. I would like to improve myself in the area of Stanislavski's System. This method is so widely used, and I cannot get enough of it."
