Splitting Article
I wonder if your support move for splitting this article to: acting and acting (law). What is your opinion? Przepla 21:21, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

Any plans to mention charisma on this page? It seems to tie into acting or the 'process of acting' in a big way... --152.163.100.196 05:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Incomplete
This article is woefully incomplete. What about listing different methods of acting, popular acting schools, etc? In its current form, this article is no better than a stub. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.9.45.237 (talk) 18:37, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Useful Stuff
This article contains lots of useful links and information, which is not only invaluable to people looking into the subject of acting, but to those who actually want to become an actor. Any people aspiring to becoming an actor are advised to go to drama school if over the age of 18, or go to a stage school / club, etc if you are a child actor. There are always random auditions, but a successful career in acting is usually obtained through drama school. Lots of great info and links on this article for those such people.

Best Acting/Drama Schools
What scale are these schools measured up to? A bunch of schools are listed but where is the citations to them being ranked best? Zachorious 04:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Drama Schools
The British Drama Schools listed here are members of the CDS (Conference of Drama Schools) and nothing else, because nothing else will be of use to anybody. By no means put in lunch-time or school drama activities or clubs as User:Rgoss91 keeps doing. Lradrama 14:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The list is currently incomplete, and I'll get round to adding more soon.  Lra drama 11:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Is it correct?
The word acting is derived from the Latin word pretentious meaning "to speak with an accent." Is this correct? Or, did someone vadalize? 156.34.215.172 (talk) 19:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * In this edit, it was changed from saying "The word acting is derived from the Latin word agĕre meaning "to do." "
 * to "The word acting is derived from the Latin word pretentious meaning "to do." "
 * So, I guess it should be restored to how it was, if the original wording was itself correct. Tim Goodwyn (talk) 16:43, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Good Acting/Bad Acting
To most people, the ability to tell "good" acting from "bad" acting comes naturally. For me, it does not, and I do not understand exactly what made 300 "good" acting, or what made the acting in The Phantom Menace "bad" acting. Could the distinction be made clear?

Merger Proposal
I propose that Off-book be merged into Acting. I think that the content in the Off-book article can easily be explained in the context of Acting, and the Acting article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of Off-book will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда . 13:46, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Wikipedia is not a dictionary; the Off-book article is a good definition of what off-book means, but it's just a definition. As part of the Acting article, it would enhance its encyclopaedic content; by itself, it's just a dictionary definition. Listmeister (talk) 04:51, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Performance Arts
Would acting be considered a branch of the performance arts, or can the two concepts be mutually exclusive? --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 20:34, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
