"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character."

Working with new material with an #acting #coaching client and not only is it great to see them move leaps and bounds as they get more familiar, but as we clarified what they wanted from the other characters, it starts to come alive. I love it.

"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

Had my #acting #coaching client do a really brilliant take, vital, grounded, authentic, good flow and riveting. Then: the challenge is to do the next take… the champagne problem of following up great work.
Using that anxiety for the next take can be a solid option, revealed a whole new versio…

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on material that isn't very optimistic on the page, but when I ask them to fight for a happy ending with the words, it gained an immediacy, they had a spontaneity I never expected and couldn't take my eyes off of. Counterpoint can be so cool.

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on an audition piece and we dialed in how morose they were. They found a new way to transition this one part, that I never would have expected and are finding really cool vitality in it.
