Read n study the entire script dont miss anything U shud also read others lines to understand better Look age physical description social class of character u are playing

U have to actually listen u cant act it no fake reactions Repeating other characters lines before u say urs..it brings up natural response Reaction exercise decide ur soul objective of ur character wt u want other character to feel Act wid eyes hear wid eyes too not just ears

Working on character inside out n from out side in Find out y character is shy how they are shy painfully shy or naturally shy Try to be in their shoes connect emotionally Try to recall shyness moments from ur life n use it Particular way of speech ur character mi8 have..lyk stutter or sumthng pick it up

Ask yourself I'm I staying present??living in the scene now.lyk don't think abt wt ppl director is thinking liking me or not etc..just listen to actor in front of u n be available to ur impulses Have I done my homework??script analysis back story emotions Do I really believe it? Do u listen in everyday life? Stop thinking wt ppl think abt u? Don't get mad sad frustrated wen ppl give feedback..!!it's OK if u don't do the best n few opportunities always improve with every scene...it's OK to be not so gud Just live in the scene n tell the story just concentrate on that

Who dat person is to u emotionally?? wt emotions u have for them? why ur talking to them? How they are reacting to things ur saying? Don't look at ppl in audition decide a spot to look

All I see is Sharpay from HSM, I can totally see her becoming an acting coach. But, thank you so much for this informative video, you're so sweet and beautiful <33

Omg!!

Agreed thought my adhd messed it up

Seems easy maybe just nervous that's why I talk to every actor on the side to make myself feel comfortable

HOW😩

You should have added a worked example to the explanation

It's your ego protecting you from embarrassing yourself. Hardest emotions to express are the ones you've been punished, shamed, or embarrassed by showing through conditioning. If you were scolded for crying, this might be hard. If you were allowed to cry and people comforted you while you cried vs. shamed. Getting over it can be very satisfying. Acting in this sense can be therapy, giving a good reason to express these emotions that were held back

Meisner would have said that there should be no character work or extra stuff added on until after the emotional learning and preparation were done for at least a year and truly worked into the being of the actor. He would also have rejected that "the character wants" something and told his students that THEY are the character, living truth under imaginary circumstances. That is probably why talking about "the character" amplified the "acting." Both he and Stella Adler would have screamed about how acting is not reading lines.

Thank you

Change of thought

Whats really difficult for me is my region....I live in nigeria and I simply cannot overestimate how i much wanna be an actor,have been wantingto be an actor since I was a child my Siblings even call me damisa b jordan ,and have been watching video online for a while now but most of this things are barely or not even accessible here, me even thinking about it gets me really depressed. Cux its like you cannot ever be an actor!.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you so much.

My character is always some form of me. If I get a choice, I like to play roles where the only one I study is me. If the character is itchy, how do I do itchy? If the character is gay, I’m not gay, but I’ve been hurt, misunderstood, accepted, loved. I use those times in my life, but put together like the writer or my imagination decides. But I’m also a novice.

"Stop acting and just say the lines." Not naturalism. Be okay with just saying the words. I have to remember to say this to myself before each self tape. Presence. LIfe. The moment. Do I believe me right now? - Working through all of that. - The times I've been more present without trying to please or focus on a result, the more "non-acting" I've been.

It's not, "Do I sound natural?"!

I've been dealing with actors block for awhile but this video has really helped in a major way. Thank you for your insight.

Thank you so much. It really helped me to think in the right way

Very helpful!

"Beat" was one of the hardest terms for me to understand when it comes to acting as an animator. Thanks. This is even a more indepth explanation because I generally looked at beats as accents or events as opposed to a phrase or transition. So this is very helpful for looking at it in a new way. In the future I will look it as transition or change in mood.

I love this explanation. Thank you

I hope you're correct in saying whatever you say when you lose the line will be ok cause it doesn't feel that way when it's actually happening 😬

What's the third thing?

Super helpful

hi, so i have this show in like a month in which i play a water guardian who's protecting an important stone that some pirates want to take from me (note that i have NEVER acted before, i actually dance and this is a show from my dance academy but, as a said, there is some acting). My character is kinda arrogant and thinks no one can steal her stone because a lot of people have tried and failed, so she kinda has a god complex (which she kinda is). The issue is, i have no idea how i should act like a water guardian, the goddess i am suppossed to be, because i have literally 4 lines in which i kinda make fun of the people trying to come to my area and steal from me, and after a fight which i suppossedly win, i then realize that someone stole the stone from me and i get all hysteric and leave. i have absolutely no idea what to do with my body or arms or anything, because i enter my scene walking while talking, then do nothing. sorry if this comment is too long but i dont know what to do

I wish I saw this video years ago. When I took classes years ago my former instructor never explained to me what a beat was. He asked me what it was and I was so lost and confused.

Thanks, nice tips!

Love this channel keep making videos!

Gzzz

This has always been a big challenge for me. Your explanations and advice are 💯 spot on! !

SARAH I KNOW YOU ARE READING THIS GIVE IT TO ME

Thank you so much for the gifts of all of your videos!!🎁🎁🎁🙏🏽🙏🏽 you provide such value to me !!🎁🎁🎁🙏🏽 thank you so much for what you are doing here!

Thank you so so so much for this! I have a question, lets say two characters are trying to be there for eachother. The writer only says that, are you allow to hold that person hand for example? Like, carry an action that is not written in the script? How much freedom we have when it comes to that? Thank you!

The term 'beat' always confused me. It's supposed to be 'bit' thats more helpful

Ma'am your insta or any email id ..!

Very nice 💐

So interesting looking at vid, the way you are talking, the deconstruction of the script, feels like there's a math or science to it

You can apply this in life as just being yourself as a human being. I'm not an actor. I'm just trying to work on being at peace with myself, being present and knowing that I am enough. Someone told me to "leave myself alone". I was struggling. I didn't understand what the term meant. So I googled it and discovered this video. Thank you.

I can’t tell how much I am loving your channel!!! What a gift you are!!!🎁🎁🎁🎁☀️☀️👏 Don’t think you aren’t changing lives- you are helping me and i am so grateful 🎁🎁💎 thank you so much!

Thankyou. I feel it everytime. I am felt terrible yesterday. And i am still kinda feeling terrible about yesterday. I always have this fear if i am doing wrong...i think i will be thrown out of the film or the play. But thanks a lot for this suggestion. ❤️
