Worked with an #acting #coaching client on a scene that comes right after a very fraught speech and the depths of the scene build so well, their character becomes more dis-regulated and their inner child almost shouts. So cool to have them unearth that in the scene.

Working with an #acting #coaching client we delved into tactics and how changing them can interplay with the character's goals. Seeing them shift their performance as they changed tactics was such a cool way to see the performance shift without breaking from, or just breaking, the script or char…
