For a second, let’s not think about acting. Instead, let’s think about track and field. Someone who has the genetic gifts to be born with a body that’s ideal for sprinting doesn’t necessarily get a gold medal at the Olympics. There’s not a single Olympic sprinter, who’s born with a natural ability that didn’t train tirelessly to refine their skill. From that perspective, we can think of natural ability as giving you a head start.You might not necessarily have the best natural abilities or instincts, but can you learn? The answer to that is sort of, and maybe and it depends on your motivation.
