ACTING TRAINING
Become the actor of the future.
Acting changes like any other profession. Actors don’t act anymore like they did forty years ago, not even like last year. The rise of international streaming services changed the industry and is demanding an “authentic” acting style.
“There is no character. You are the character, and auditioning is about showing who you are. “
Most actors play a character in an audition, assuming that's what the casting director is looking for.
The truth is, casting directors and directors don’t know what they are looking for, but they know it when they see it.
There is only one person in the world like you, and we want to see you, not an actor. Give up the idea of playing a character in an audition, and the parts will come to you.
The most common mistake actors make is playing the scene that is written. This blocks them from standing out in the sea of auditions, setting them apart from the competition.
Actors who get cast don’t play the scene that is written because:
The scene is never the scene, and words are barely the truth.
“Every scene is a love scene.” - Michael Shurtleff, Casting Director on Broadway.
Every scene is driven by desire. Something is wanted. Something is pursued even when it's not a romantic scene.
Find the problem in the scene. If there is no problem, we don’t have a scene.
