Your Talent Is In Your Choice.

When An Acting Teacher Tells A Student 'that Wasn't Honest Work' Or 'that Didn't Seem Real,' What Does This Mean? In Life, We Are Rarely 'truthful' Or 'honest' Or 'real'. And Characters In Plays Are Almost Never 'truthful' Or 'honest' Or 'real'. What Exactly Do Teachers Even Mean By These Words? A More Useful Question Is: What Is The Story The Actor Was Telling In Their Work? An Actor Is Always Telling A Story. We All Are Telling Stories, All The Time. Story: That Is What It Is All About.

The Most Important Thing You Can Teach Actors Is To Understand Plays.

By Taking Elements You Observe In Life, You Can Develop Qualities In Your Acting Life That You Don't Ordinarily Call Upon In Your Personal Life.

Tell Yourself That The World Is Outside, That It's Not To Be Hidden From You, That You Are Going To Thrust Yourself Forward And Be Relaxed In The World. You Have Chosen A Field Where You're Going To Be Hurt To The Blood. But To Retreat From The Pain Is Death

Growth As An Actor And As A Human Being Are Synonymous.
