Actor Beto Kusyairy: An Artist's Career Demands Weeks of Preparation Before Filming

Actor Beto Kusyairy has echoed sentiments from fellow actor Yusuf Bahrin, highlighting the intense commitment required in the arts. Kusyairy explained that an actor's work extends far beyond the filming location, demanding weeks or even months of preparation before shooting begins.

“

Our work doesn't just start on set. The demands are high. Weeks or months before filming, all sorts of preparations are needed to fulfill responsibilities.

"Our work doesn't just start on set. The demands are high. Weeks or months before filming, all sorts of preparations are needed to fulfill responsibilities," Kusyairy stated. He elaborated that this preparation involves repeatedly reading scripts, engaging in discussions, conducting research, watching reference materials, attending workshops, and physical training.

Kusyairy also pointed out the necessity for actors to undergo physical transformations to suit their characters. This can include gaining or losing weight, full rehearsals, costume fittings, makeup tests, and camera tests. He stressed that these efforts are crucial for achieving a high-quality performance and production.

His comments came in response to Yusuf Bahrin's earlier remarks on Threads, where Bahrin shared his own experiences about the sacrifices actors make behind the scenes. Bahrin had described the demands of acting as greater than those in an office job, emphasizing that popularity alone does not define an actor's career.
