Worked with an #acting #coaching client on material they're going to play, and explored how it can go viscerally. How much space you take up and how hard you metaphorically push the other characters can transform how you do what you do.

Just worked with an #acting #coaching client on a role they're playing soon, and working lines to see what can be "said" beyond, within, in addition, with and through the words as written. Cool clarifying specifics. Seeing them finding the performance and discovering was great. #ActingCoach

Coached an actor on a self-tape, and watching them find the character, and hone in on the how and what of them, was really cool. The specifics shined brighter and brighter on each take.

Just wrote and scheduled 10 more posts for twitter, one a week. I now have things covered through the end of May.
They invite people to join me elsewhere and help keep others from impersonating me there.
You can transition away too. I use Buffer, but other scheduling options exist too.

Just submitted a sketch about President Cleveland coming out of retirement to be a running mate for 45. In doing research for it I have at least tripled my knowledge of Grover Cleveland 😝

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on the intersection of concentration and finding your character in the other actor, from how they affect you. Facing uncertainty with courage is often a key piece of work that works well.

Just worked with an #acting #coaching client on exploring the options the words on the first line of a speech can give. The mileage, so to speak, one can get with each syllable so the utterance is coming from deep within and expressing what must be said.

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on a #monologue . Explored assumptions the #character brings of how safe or fraught the world is. Chilling and thrilling to see how assumptions not found on the page transform the reality of the speech.

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on how to first approach a new role. It is good to have a working process, a template, a method: they're all different words for the same thing. Also vital to not be rigid with the way you work.

Worked with a #voice #acting #coaching client on drilling into a piece of the material, getting very granular, and then zooming back out to see the whole piece with with those new options and ideas being part of it. Great to hear their work deepen and work well.

Seems Casting Networks, Breakdown Services, Backstage, Casting Frontier & more need to change, or the wrath of SAG-AFTRA comes next. Unions work.

Explored with an #acting #coaching client some ways to develop how a character speaks. For both #VoiceActing and all other acting, things like placement, imitations or other stuff can be a springboard for how our characters use their #voice and carry with them who they are and where they've been.

With an #acting #coaching client just explored building a #character that isn't just an echo of the text in question. And seeing the levels grow aside from what the material gave was really cool. The character is not only on the page.

Worked with a #VoiceOver #acting #coaching client on the subtleties of keeping things conversational whether or not the copy is conversational. Good to hear and explore how they can still bring a point of view to bear, or not, and adjust things without being too heavy handed.

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on a #comedic scene, and exploring the options in a single line. The writers gave gifts, like words that are just funny to say. We also touched on mustering concentration even when tired.

Worked with an #acting #coaching client just now, as they did their first take of material they now have #OffBook . The joy of finding the rich ways the scene goes now that the words are undeniably more than on paper makes me happy.

Just worked with an #acting #coaching client on #voiceover , & explored 3 different techniques to generate different deliveries: physicality, objectives & inner life. Seeing these versions inform a fourth read was very satisfying.
