"The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!"

"I actually think acting is a form of self-hypnosis. You have to be hyper, hyper aware of what's going on around you. You have to know where the lens is, what the shot is, and where you're moving. And then you have to trick yourself into an emotional state where you believe this stuff is actually happening."

—Julianne Moore

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."

"It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it does, we may well reject it."

Exploring a character's self-absorption, an #acting #coaching client found an inner life for the character filters how that character experiences others. Like how a prism slits light, character's inner state transforms who others are to them. Cool discovery.

Had an #acting #coaching client do one line from the scene five times in a row (with direction), and the character grew from each, got enriched. Very next take of the scene: new flashes of fire in their character's eyes, real, vital and great to see.

"For me, our job as artists is to serve the story, serve the director, and serve the fellow actors. And if you do that, by osmosis you’re serving yourself because you’ll get the best out of yourself."

"You cannot try to 'get the job'. Just go in there, have some fun and do your version of that part. 'This is what I'm selling. If you want to buy it, that's cool. Have some adjustments for me? That's fine, I'll make some adjustments, but this is basically what I want to do.' THAT'S the attitude, sort of 'f*ck it' attitude. Not f*ck you...but, f*ck it."

Directed an #Acting #Coaching client to choose the level of their character's mental illness for a take and we'd see if I could tell what they chose. To my surprise and joy, the impact on the final moments of the scene was terrifyingly new, and fascinating to discover.

Working a new piece with an #acting #coaching client and choosing between #translations. They're very different in tone, and neither a perfect (that doesn't really exist) mimic of the original. Very cool experiencing my client's two versions of one character with different words.

#ActingCoach #ActingCoaching #act

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on a very specific style of performance for a role they may go out for, and had them do three specific variations of the tone that style often has. They modified the style in their unique way. We applied it to a different text, and saw it amazingly still work.
