Asked a new actor #acting #coaching client to try tweaking a few different things, both internal and external, in their performance. Witnessing their changes, and transforming voice, was really vivid.

Had an #acting #coaching client make a single physical change be the focus of a take and shot to see and hear their voice expand into the character in a whole new way. So good to hear their voice more fully animate the moments with new depths.

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on some material and played with Bogart's Viewpoints of Tempo and Duration. Beautiful seeing them finding new ways of being and new things to pursue in their character. Opened up a whole inner life.

Had an #acting #coaching client read some new material, and already could sense some of the depths they get to with it, which has me excited for what they find with it. Even in an ice cold reading, the resonances are real.

Had an #acting #coaching client get some material into their physical self more (as opposed to their mind) and we did a couple takes that had new ways for the crux of the scene to play. So cool to see that whole other way of engaging.

Working on part of a scene with an #acting #coaching client, and had them do 3 takes one right after another. They took the direction I gave wonderfully, and was cool seeing the depth of their performance of this new role deepen before my eyes.

Working with an #acting #coaching client, we found our way to have them engage with the core of the character more and so their chest voice engaged more too; such a cool way to invoke technique through emotion (the opposite can also be done).
