"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."
—Tim Curry

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.

"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

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.

Directed an #acting #coaching client to do a take in a way that lead to no discoveries. A blind alley or sorts, it seemed. Then another layer of rage, fear, frustration, anger, love and hate made a quick appearance. We're gonna be cooking with gas with this material.

Working with an #acting #coaching client on a speech and finding the arc of it. Within that arc there are options for how intense and how unhinged to get. So good to have them playing with those options, and see, feel and hear what is resonating from it.
