#actingcoach — Public Fediverse posts

Exploring a scene with an #acting #coaching client, we tried 3 different physical changes/postures. We discovered very cool changes in intention, the relationship and the whole tone, including a nice underlying friendship the characters have through it.

"Everyone forgets comedians are actors. There's no question about it. A Robin Williams cannot say the same line every night for 40 weeks and make it sound fresh unless he's doing an acting job."

—Joan Rivers

"I think when you're just counting on your voice, you actually need double the energy. I find myself acting out the scenes and being very physical while I'm recording because I think you can tell when someone is just sitting on a stool."

"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

"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!"

"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."

—Sam Rockwell

Had an #acting #coaching client try to tell the other character they loved them, but using lines as written, on the face of them, do not mention love. That take revealed the fear their character was feeling, made the peril more real. Revelation through counterpoint.

Played with energy level during a scene with an #acting #coaching client, and we found a layer, or well, or source of anger within it. And that highlighted how the characters still care about each other and hold each other close, even in anger. Good discoveries.
