Hello in my pre-interview CELTA application I agreed with this statement :
"Good actors should be good teachers because they are used to having an audience"
What do you think about my explanation:
Some teachers do have similar qualities to good actors and are totally convincing in what they do. Effective teachers seem to know instinctively how to use performance skills to gain and hold students’ interest. They also seem aware of the impact that dramatic techniques can have upon students and are always looking for opportunities to incorporate these into their lessons.
Perhaps it is time for us all to adopt a variety of drama skills to win the attention and interest of our students, to convey information effectively to our diverse and demanding ‘audience’. These skills might include the use of body language and voice, role-playing and improvisation.

It's good. In my case, I have found the converse also to be true. ie Good teachers should be good actors.
