There is no formal education required to be an actress. However, most professional actresses have participated in acting conservatories or college drama courses. A bachelor’s degree program in theater or drama can provide access to courses like acting theory, stage management, voice and diction, and stagecraft that can be useful to aspiring actresses. Through these programs, students can explore a variety of fields, such as impromptu acting, voiceover work, musical theory and sketch comedy, to expand their portfolios.
