Working with an #acting #coaching client we found a turning point near the end of the scene, and when we built that out, this wave of authenticity came through their performance. So good to feel it landing like that.

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.

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.
#ActingCoach

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.

Working with an #acting #coaching client on a scene their character is threatening the other character, and had them make a single change that brought out the character's impatience and cruelty in a new way. Good discoveries.

Had an #acting #coaching client use substitution (AKA transference) in a rehearsal take, and it opened up a new level of devastation and specificity for the scene. I love when a technique does just what was hoped, and great to have clients who can run with them.

An #acting #coaching client did a take informing the other character of what was going on. For the next take, had them try something more personal too, and the subtle shift, the greater intimacy, was such a good layer to add. Good to see my client find that.

Discovered a visceral way to approach an #acting #coaching character's relationship to the other character by exploring an animal archetype for their character's body movement. That embodiment found all sorts of new moments and fun kinetic options.

Explored with an #acting #coaching client the spaces between, under and within lines, found our way to reignite playing with the script, not to break it, but to meet it and find where it actually lives, breathes and happens. Cool finding new ways old material can live.

Working with an #acting #coaching client on their audition piece and found a direction for it to go toward the end that found its authenticity, and dare I say, fun in the scene. Really good to see them reveal that.
