And then you have to trick yourself into an emotional state where you believe this stuff is actually happening."

Working with an #acting #coaching client on some #audition material, and found some new objectives, new things for them to work to get from the other character. That helped them kinda unlock their perf…

Worked with an #acting #coaching client and seeing them sink further into the material in ways neither of us anticipated was cool. The words hit them new ways, and happily they followed and built on that to hit new versions of delivery for what came next.

Working with an #acting #coaching client, had them go an entirely different way, totally different direction. The outcome: a totally different version of character, totally different person. On a third take, that new stuff changed the performance. What nice discoveries.
