  5. I caught this 2 years ago when it had only 12 views or so. It’s an
    excellent clip, as wereare/ your other ones :)

  7. Fantastic advice. I have always believed in becoming the character and my
    lines are not only learned, but are things that I (as the character) would
    actually say in a given situation. This sometimes means improvising, which
    some directors don’t like, so I find other ways of improvising. Not to add
    words to the script, but to add body language. Now I will say, I have had
    no professional acting jobs as of this time, and hope to start an acting
    class soon. However, having always had a fascination with acting, I have
    done little things among friends. Sometimes acting characters they wrote
    themselves.

  9. appreciate the lesson. very insightful. as an artist i will continue to
    work on my craft to be the best i can be. to listen and to take in.
    thanks

  12. Thank you. The word “listening” comes up in the Green Room a lot. It’s an
    acting buzzword. But after acting classes and many plays, I feel like I’m
    just beginning to grasp what listening really means.

  15. So true, the art of good speaking is good listening. Listening with the
    brain and not with our ears it takes years of practice for many of us. I
    personally learned how to really listening through years at an big
    commercial airline call center and later while studying Meisner and
    applying it to scripts.

  17. John, I bailed out at 50 seconds. I’m a welder .. My sons a real player.

  20. I’m pretty sure you still haven’t learned to listen. It’s something you can
    practice on and improve, but it mostly comes out second nature. That’s what
    I get when I LISTEN to you.

  21. That’s why I love Michael Caine so much! Since the moment I saw him in
    “Alfie” Cocky twit! But, real and later in the movie, human. No matter what
    he is into, he’s there engaged and either completely funny crazy or
    terribly evil. But, Nevertheless he seems to become the story not something
    outside of it. Clever and convincing! Thank God he’s not a Politician!
