Whatever emotion you have to project in a scene, you have to know how YOU as a person (not as a character) feel when you are sad about a sad situation in your life. Because you only have yourself. Your body and mind is your instrument. So: What happens to your face when you feel sad and cry in real life ? What happens to your voice ? Does it change ? How is your body when you're sad ? It's hard and you need to train your brain and to actually always self observe. Only then you'll bring truth to your emotions and therefore the character you're playing.
So when you've observed your body and know how it feels when being sad for example, how to you use this knowledge in acting? What would you try to focus on right before/ in the scene?
Brilliant!!! 👏🏼 give us more @thanos tsarbos
I love this advice
Thank you, more please!
Good advice but my problem is that I'm not a very emotional person 😅 I don't know what I'm like when angry for example because I never get angry :/
Her exaggerated facial and vocal expressions may hint to an actress that is accustomed to theater work instead of close-up film work.

It hints at a bad actor, that's all it does.
@@charitym.329 theater is also correct in the United states is spelled more commonly as theater.
@@randomspiel I don't think so, theater requires a lot of exaggerated gestures and a lot of projection (loudness) so even the people in the last row of the theater can clearly understand what you are saying and doing. She seems like she is use to that.
@@randomspiel you’re incorrect, like, by a lot. Stage theater requires extremely exaggerated emotion, and if you’re showing emotion as if you were on film, from the audience it would feel like you’re under doing it, so you’re actually extremely incorrect, if you don’t do that, THAT hints to a bad actor
I feel like what this video is really saying is "To project emotion, you just need to act". Not very helpful at all
Well, there's really no easier way to explain it. You have to be the character and feel the pains and loss of that specific person. Imagine you are talking with a best friend who is crying their eyes out because their parents died. You FEEL their pain and their sorrow. So say you had to act like your best friend. USE that feeling you got from you talking to them and use it for your purposes.
I can't think about a memory and express it through my acting because it's not the same situation. I can't trick my brain like that. I would have ot just understand what my character is feeling and like she said be in the moment.
“Im KeNdAlL mCgUiRe”
Girl if u don’t-
Yes, painfull sadness is quite oftenly the initial scene and continues into enslavering one in that certain genre. And this emotional expression is also very suiting 'the charactress'.
I really enjoyed your video and the tip about feeling the moment! You never lose by understanding the character and all the nuances that make up that character! So good! Thanks for sharing!
This is HYSTERICAL! Whoever this improv artist is, she's brilliant. lol I'm dead!!!
she is such an eccentric person, I could listen to her talk for freaking HOURS
And this was the only job she ever got.
OnceCabin2000 shes also a peofessonal violonist
LMAO
My opinion: First learn to emote feelings by drawing upon past experiences, then learn how to pull those feelings up while in the moment. Learning to act isn't a couple of tips and techniques. You have to learn what various emotions feel like and where they're stored in YOU; everyone is different and your own instrument (your body) will bring realness to your characters different than other performers. Listen to several different coaches, learn various methods and techniques, and find your own process to create real emotional response. This takes time and lots of practice and is one of the funnest journeys a person can embark upon.
Thanks for your advice.you gave a very good technique towards us.. It may help us... Please give some this kinds of advices... I am from India 🇮🇳... And I wanna be an actor. I have been struggling on the this way.. Sometimes I become very less of confidence during audition.. Would u tell please? How can be confident in front of camera during audition..?
I’m not even an actor I just apparently worry people because I’m not very expressive
The creepy thing was when she said "your cat died 2 weeks ago" and it actually has happened...
another tip ive found helps is to tell your self not to cry, it also works with acting drunk but not over doing it :)
I love her reactions ooh my god 😂❣️ thanks for your help
Well said. Thanks for the great knowledge!
The first one doesn’t work for me all the time but the last one definitely does!!!!
This is the funniest thing I think I've ever seen😍I Love it!
The best actors in the world dont need to cheat it, you feel the character, you become the character, if you cannot become someone else then you are not an actor.
Andy Wheale come from a heroic book those practice too u know
Humans are not like that. When you become a character that character doesn't look or feel like he/she needs to during a specific scene. You still need to get your character into that particular mood and mind for a specific part.
Just what i've been thinking right now! I am not an actress but i can totally feel other people..like feel compassion and cry for their situation..it just happens..
@@anastasiatryingmyluckinact7695 Empathy is a powerful tool!
Andy Wheale not rlly
was this a skit? A parody of bad acting teachers? If so, spot on.
i know theres no other way to explain this but either way great video
thank u this really helps me my character is sad in my play
Personally I can control my emotions when I want 😂
Me too!
Then you can fake depression and get a Greek ticket to eating all the food in the house
She had me at nose hairs
If my sister was sold into slavery I wouldn't be sad -- I'd be angry as a..... as the Doctor when someone dies.
Yeah. Like that.
Hecate Mist fellow WHOVIAN :')
Doctor who?
GOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!
Can you elaborate on how drawing on pasts memories hurts your acting ability?
Ig it just drains you emotionally to do so so your acting could suffer in the long run
here cause of work
Maybe for amateur that would work out!!
Perfect jawline
I saw this on @Midnight. Funny stuff!
She is a long haired Anne Hathway
not to be mean or anything but she is over the top. if you want to act sad, then become actually sad and it will seem more real. um because it is. thats acting
she said "sold in slavery" wow
Charlotte Thompson riiii why was that the first thing that came to her mind ?
@@dramaqueenjenay871 drag her queen
🤣🤣 I fell off my chair!! Someone needs to press the delete button on white woman cuhz damn.
aka the title of this video.
Isn't it bad technique to relate something that has personally happened to you to the character? In that case, you would be too overwhelmed with emotion and won't be performing very well.
"Sister got sold to slavery" Nuff said
Easier said than done, I think...
Well I know why I have never heard of her.
rebata ona sochla s yma
You can put onion over your eyes
rostik homosexual
ok I get that your trying to help people get better at acting and all but did u just compare slavery to a cat dieing XD
*YOU ARE A ROBOT*
"Professional actress" ? Pahahaha no offense :P
She's a stage actress.
ı' m able to act better than you, there's nothing much that you can teach me, ı'm a natural born actor
I haven't seen her in anything
LMFAO
For crying out loud, what on earth is she doing with her voice and face? She reminds me of Amber Heard on the witness stand. I can't watch another second of this. SOS.
She's a theatre actor. Alot of Theatre actors have a habit of having exagerated facial expresions.
Good lord your voice is pushing me to the back of the room. Awful
Is is a joke? Is she for real? The stanislovski technique of memory recal she says is "harmful
This was not a very good video
Horrible advice
Why are you so load, this is no banquet
my cat actually died 2 weeks ago
r.i.p. cat
I'm sorry. ;-;
could not keep watching after she recommended drawing on the memory of a cat dying to play a sad slave. WTF SMH Im sure that was what Lupita Nyongo Drew on. #pleasestop
Dominique I’m sure she had a personal n vivid memory bc she was black... and the fact that she came from a privileged family traveling and even living like the rich ppl in Mexico was just a figment of her imagination to cope w BLACK slavery (as if it was the only kind).
Besides, wth would u know what she thought of? Who’s the racist, the one who assumes bc of color, or the other one bc she’s white and mentioned slavery outside of a victim perspective?
Stop w the racist victim mentality!
