"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."

Tried a technique I don't often use with an #acting #coaching client and got to witness them be and speak as I never had seen them do before. It was brilliant to see them embrace a different approach, gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Proud coach, happy audience member.

Working with an #acting #coaching client and inverted the motive behind a speech: made it about convincing themselves or justifying to themselves though inventing reasons, instead of explaining, and the whole reality opened up differently. Very cool.

Anyone have any film or television scenes you love for a character that is female presenting and appears 18tpy-28 in age (tpy = to play younger)? Seeking some more good materiel to use with my acting coaching clients.

I had to suppress my happy #coach reaction to stay in the scene with an #acting #coaching client just now. Very good to see them finding such good stuff in this scene, unlocking new tactics and varying vu…

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.

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.

Worked on some really well written new material with an #acting #coaching client, and so good to see them quickly being effected by the depth of the scene. Their honest vulnerability makes the words come alive in wonderful ways.
